What is It?
Magnesium is a combination of magnesium chloride flakes and water called a “magnesium salt.” Thus it isn’t actually an oil, but can feel this way when you put it on. The magnesium chloride comes from seawater and is the same thing that would be used in an epsom salt bath or a float tank. It is considered a topical or transdermal spray and is absorbed through the skin.
Why Should I Take It?
Magnesium helps to ensure proper nerve and muscle function, maintain proper blood sugar and blood pressure levels, reach deeper level of sleep, decrease muscle soreness, cramping and inflammation, improve circulation and blood flow, decrease the chances of osteoporosis, keep density in teeth and help play a critical role in preventing cardiovascular disease.
