Life-flo Magnesium Lotion - Relief and Relaxation with Magnesium Chloride from The Zechstein Seabed - Soothes Muscles and Joints - Hypoallergenic, 8oz Pack of 1, Unscented

This magnesium vanilla cream smells lovely, and absorbs well with no stickiness. I’m really pleased of how well this magnesium spray and cream work to heal my sore muscles. The product also really helps me sleep at night, when I apply it to my feet before bedtime. Thanks for a great product for a awesome price.

Happy accident that magnesium releavea pain. I can't take magnesium internally as a supplement but the topical lotion or spray works exceptionally well. I try to reapply the lotion or spray every 2-3 hours depending of pain severity of sciatica. To aid in sleep I spray, then massage the magnesium on the bottom of my feet. So glad I found this because I didn't want to start taking pain meds. This product has a permanent place in my first aid kit.

I’ve been using the Life-flo Magnesium Lotion for over a year, and it’s a staple in my nightly routine. Pros: 1. Relaxation Benefits: The magnesium chloride helps with muscle tension and relaxation. After a long day, applying this lotion provides noticeable relief. 2. Non-Greasy Formula: It absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue, which is perfect for bedtime use. 3. Mild Vanilla Scent: The scent is pleasant and calming without being overpowering. 4. Skin-Friendly: It’s dermatologist-tested, and I haven’t experienced any irritation, even with my sensitive skin. Cons: • Thicker Texture: The lotion is slightly thick, which can take a bit more effort to rub in compared to regular lotions (I personally love it) • Bottle Design: I wish it came with a pump for easier dispensing. It looks like the unscented bottle has a pump option. Overall Thoughts: This lotion is a great option for anyone looking to incorporate magnesium into their wellness routine, whether for muscle relief or improved sleep. Would recommend it to anyone seeking relaxation and healthier skin!

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!

This product really works . If you are experiencing a lot of muscle pain or joints pain then this is what you are looking for😊👍🏾

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.

Smells nice, no magnesium burn and really great for my nighttime muscle cramps

I have terrible restless legs. And I am always looking for relief. I just made my first application of the lotion and I feel interesting sensations in my legs. That's hopeful. Fingers crossed. I didn't think through where I applied it. Tomorrow I will do the spasm areas mindfully. Ex.: My spasms are above my knee up onto the top of my thigh. But in my calves the spasms are on the back of the leg, near the biggest muscle. So I redid that. I am a believer in transformation absorption and it seems this lotion delivers. Applying it is not easy. So I turned the application into a mini massage. The lotion leaves quite a thick, white residue. I like heavy products. And the white residue disappears. And your skin is quite smooth; not at all sticky. BUT ... we have to talk about the scent! After 15 minutes, I still smell like I waded in milk of magnesia! It's overpowering! I shudder to think what my sheets will smell like. And I fear my very xpensive down comforter will also absorb the scent. I have spent some time in marketing and skin care product formulation but not being a chemist I don't know if the scent can be played down -- or covered -- with no loss of efficacy. But it's worth a few tests. I will rebuy & use the product because it feels effective but the scent is a real issue for me. 2 Weeks later This actually works. I didn't apply it for 2 nights -- the smell in general & on my sheets -- and on both woke up with restless legs. Suggestions to the maker: 1. PLEASE fix the scent ... but keep the efficacy. 2. If you can't fix the scent, develop an over-lotion, a second layer to block it. 3. Develop massage routines to enhance the lotion(s). And you might want to consider the pajama business. That is my solution for now.
