LIFE-FLO Magnesium Lotion - New, Improved Magnesium Chloride from Zechstein Seabed - Soothes Muscles, Joints When Massaged into Skin - Great for Kids, Hypoallergenic, 8oz Pack of 1, Vanilla

This lotion has been fantastic for my restless legs, and the smell is amazing. It is quite thick, but it lasts quite a long time.

While looking for something to help my husband with neuropathy in his feet, I read about this product on a medical website discussion board. One commenter said it had done wonders for relieving the pain and tingling in his feet caused by neuropathy. So I ordered it. Almost immediately, and I mean as we were applying it for the first time, he said he could feel a different sensation in his feet. After just a few days of using it, he started to notice a big difference when he walked barefoot in the house. Before, his feet felt numb and tingly, and like he was walking on gel pads. Now, his feet were beginning to feel more normal as he walked on the bare floor. The big test was when he tried walking barefoot on the sidewalk outside. Before using this product, he couldn't bear to step outside without shoes on. In just a couple of weeks, he was able to walk barefoot on the sidewalk with no pain at all. I recommended it to a friend a couple of weeks ago and she said it is helping her tremendously as well. She says her feet don't feel cold any more. An added benefit is that it is also a great moisturizer for dry, cracked skin, and it is very affordable! I highly recommend this product for anyone who is experiencing pain/numbness/tingling from neuropathy.

I love this lotion so much! It helps to calm my legs at night when I have restless legs. Nothing else has worked for that in the past, even oral magnesium supplements. It does have a few downsides which is why I took away one star. For me, it’s very thick and hard to rub it and leaves my legs a bit sticky. I also don’t love the vanilla frosting smell. All that being said, I still use it and repurchase it because it works SO well for me!

This stuff smells SO GOOD! I got the vanilla scent for my baby, 12 hours out from putting it on him and he still smells like candy! This has moisturized really well, it kinda goes on opaque like sunscreen but absorbs very quickly, so just work in smaller spots for better rubbing in. I did not notice an improvement in his sleep but have only used once so far. Will update as we keep using, regardless we love this as a lotion moisturizing and scent and will keep using it!

I’ve gone through a dozen bottles. The unscented version is most versatile. Works for calf cramps/ stiff neck/ sore shoulders, etc.

NFO ON MAGNESIUM - AND - cream had nice vanilla scent and softened the skin...but who knows how much magnesium you get I have included some information gotten from the NIH.gov site. The information below is intended ONLY as information and NOT medical advice. People trying to dose themselves with anything should talk to their doctors first. One of my biggest problems with magnesium in the form of a cream, is that you do not know how much you are dosing yourself with, or how much is getting in. If they said one teaspoon applied to inner thigh would give you X amount, that would be helpful but I didn't see anything to that effect. Since magnesium can interfere with a number of medications, IF it could be absorbed through the skin, at a rate that could be stated...this would be a good thing. I have no idea if I am absorbing magnesium. I guess I would have to spring for a before and after lab test to tell. But even this would not really tell me much because only 1% of the magnesium is in the serum, most is put into the bones. Normal blood serum levels of magnesium should be around 0.75- 0.95 mmol/l. The RDA for most people is between 360-410mg a day. 30-40% of the magnesium you eat is absorbed. I can't tell if my muscle cramps or joint pains are any better. I had no itching at all. I can tell it has a slight vanilla odor, which I like; and that the cream leaves my skin feeling soft. signs of deficiency are: ....early: loss of appetite nausea and vomiting fatigue, weakness ....as it worsens you notice numbness, tingling muscle contractions and cramps seizures personality changes abnormal heart rhythms coronary spasms ....and at a severe level you levels of calcium and potassium decrease.which have their own set of symptoms. BUT you CAN overdose with magnesium supplementation and many of the symptoms are the same nausea, vomiting, fatigue low blood pressure, facial flushing, retention of urine, ileus, depression ....and as it gets worse muscle weakness, difficulty breathing, VERY low blood pressure, irregular heart rhythm, and your heart stopping. Risk for magnesium overload increases with renal failure as you are not able to excrete the magnesium, and the kidneys are the main organ for regulating the magnesium in your body. That said the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey or NHANES of 2005-6 said that the majority of Americans of all ages ingest less magnesium than the recommended allowances. Especially old men and adolescent females. Especially at risk may be people that have increased loss like diabetics as the increased glucose in their urine makes them urinate more, and those that have decreased gut absorption like those with chronic diarrhea. Alcoholics also may be at risk as well. There has been some evidence that: > increasing magnesium may help decrease strokes (100mg/day decreased ischemic strokes by 8%) > may help decrease the incidence of migraines if taken daily. > It may also help maintain bone density in post menopausal women -elemental magnesium ( magnesium citrate) was used at 290mg/ per day. Medications (in general BUT ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTORS FIRST BEFORE USING, AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW YOU ARE TAKING MAGNESIUM OR ANY OTHER SUPPLEMENT, OR HERB) that Magnesium can or does interfere with include but are not limited to things like: Interactions with Medications . Bisphosphonates -(used to treat osteoporosis) can decrease the absorption. Separate use by at LEAST 2 hours. Antibiotics - tetracyclines, doxycyclines, quinolones, ciporfloxacin, levofloxacin. Magnesium can form insoluble clmpleses with them. Again at LEAST 2 hours needs to be between taking BEFORE antibiotics and magnesium, OR AT LEAST 4-6 hours after taking magnesium or magnesium containing supplement. I don't know how this applies to absorption through skin. Diuretics loop diuretics, furosemide, bumetanide, and thiazide diuretics can increase the loss of magnesium. But potassium-sparing diuretics reduce magnesium excretion. Proton pump inhibitors (for heart burn and gastric reflex) when taken for long periods can cause low magnesium (hypomagnesemia). The FDA says doctors should monitor patient's levels of magnesium while on these medications. Even taking a supplement with these medications may fail to raise the level of magnesium.

Great product will purchase again Works great

Unscented is best. Smells pleasant and feels natural. Great product for massages.

バニラの香り強めですがだんだん薄くなります。 筋肉痛や肩こりにとても良いです！

Questa lozione al magnesio la trovo molto buona, lenisce il dolore, certo dipende dall'entita' del dolore, ma comunque lo allevia.

Great

The product is great, but I don't like that Amazon DE does not provide an option to choose a carrier. Several times I had problems receiving packages - either they are very late or I don't get a notification and the package does not come to my house, but I have to go an pick it up from a post office.

Me ayudó con el dolor y tendinitis que tenía.
