[Parallel import goods] Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion ULTRA with OptiMSM 237ml / 8 fl. oz. (600mg elemental magnesium 2.15g MSM per fl. oz. / 30 mL)

Très efficace

My doctor recommended magnesium for my leg cramps, and using this lotion alongside the oral supplement has greatly enhanced the results. Magnesium helps with muscle relaxation, improves sleep quality, supports nerve function, and may reduce the frequency of cramps. This formula uses Zechstein magnesium, considered a pure and high-quality source. It also contains shea butter and hyaluronic acid, so it hydrates without leaving a greasy feeling. Since I started using it, I’ve felt much better.

what I do is, after it has absorbed all it can and a little stickiness is left on, I put a little Aloe Vera gel over the place I put the magnesium lotion and massage it in. Then there is no sticky feeling as the Aloe carries it all in through the skin. Aloe gets through all layers of the skin, so, in theory, it will take ALL the magnesium in deeper.

I usually take magnesium at night to help me fall asleep. I thought I would give this a try after reading about it. It does help relieve pain, and it also --for me---provides a nice, drowsy-relaxed feeling. I like taking magnesium so there is no hangover effect the next morning so I can still wake up for work with no problems. Initially, I was having what I guess was restless-leg issues. Just an uncomfortable feeling in my legs/ calves where they sort of twitch and just won't relax to let you sleep. One pump of this spread on both calves solved that problem COMPLETELY. I put it on other areas like if my hip or lower back is aching, and it helps me fall asleep by relieving the pain in that area. Also, works great if you over-did it from exercise so have achy muscles. I have used it on my neck, shoulders, upper arms, trigger thumb joint pain, low back, hip, legs and feet. No problems whatsoever----besides the drowsiness effect on me. (I would say you could probably gauge if you will feel drowsy/sleepy vs. just relaxed and pain-free based on the effect any other magnesium supplement you have tried has affected you. I just happen to be super-sensitive to it.) I recently bought this product that also contains MSM after reading about the pain relieving effects of MSM on joints. My foot had started hurting mainly under the big toe after wearing some new shoes and doing a lot of walking that day. Anyway, using the cream has also been helpful in that regard, putting it on at night (again because it happens to cause me drowsiness). This does have a rust smell because it is a mineral. I typically wear vinyl or nitrile latex-free examination-type gloves to apply the cream since I do not want that smell on my hands. The smell does go away after a while if you do not want to use gloves. ( Also, I re-use the gloves.) Also, I have learned that this product with just the magnesium lotion is a bit stickier and smellier than the one which contains MSM, but that is because the one with MSM has 25mg magnesium per pump whereas this product contains only magnesium at 40mg per pump. Both lotions do absorb, but this one, at first, will have a bit of a sticky feel. The stickiness and odor both go away after maybe 10 minutes. Additionally, it is true this lotion does not have any effect on your bowel movements. Some can take magnesium during the day with no problems, but this magnesium though a lotion, affects me just like a pill supplement in that it causes me to feel drowsy. (Again, I only add this because I am super-sensitive and want to make sure anybody who is sensitive is aware you might not want to use this for the first time right before going to work. Also, even if you are sensitive to a magnesium-drowsy effect, it may not create that feeling for you with only one pump. ) Bottom line: I think this is a great alternative to taking NSAIDs on a consistent basis which I have read is not good for the liver or stomach lining over time.

I’ve been a fan of Ancient Minerals for a while and already loved their natural deodorant, so I was excited to try this magnesium lotion. What stood out to me right away is how clean and simple the formula is. There are no harsh chemicals, and it feels gentle on my skin. The texture is smooth and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy or sticky feeling. I usually apply it in the evening on my shoulders, legs and feet, and it’s become a relaxing part of my nighttime routine. My skin feels soft and hydrated, and the lotion itself feels lightweight and comfortable. I also appreciate the quality of the ingredients and that it comes from a trusted source. This is a well-made magnesium lotion that fits easily into daily self-care. I’m happy with it and would recommend it to anyone.
