BetterYou Magnesium Mineral Bath Flakes Review £7.95 sample review

 

I first discovered the wonderful benefits of magnesium in my 20s when I was diagnosed with severe spondylitis/stenosis. I have always suffered with back issues due to being super hypermobile and managed the symptoms with exercise and supplements. I also suffered (pre menopause) badly with a painful condition called Endometriosis, and following at least 12 operations sadly suffered until I did pass my menopause. The one thing I always have kept in my cupboard to help alleviate my symptoms is magnesium supplements. Magnesium can help a huge array of symptoms such as :-

• Pre-menstrual Syndrome
• Restless legs
• Aching joints
• Depression/anxiety
• Headaches
• Lowering high blood pressure
• Protection against muscle damage

However, I used to only take as a supplement until I was told by an old physio how in fact the best way to take magnesium is through a bath! Magnesium is actually able to get in through the skin by way of transdermal absorption. It can also get in topically by way of massaging in cream gels/creams too. This means that when having a bath just a handful of flakes will give you instant benefits, much quicker than if you were to take orally.  Such benefits are as above but also include:-

• Good nights sleep
• Aiding prevention of muscle spasms
• Instantly relaxing tight joints and ridding of tension
• Softening the skin and improving skin hydration
• Helping soothe eczema, dermatitis and other skin conditions
• Fight infection
• Improve circulation

Having just recently broken my ankle, I've been suffering with most of the above. Muscles I didn't know existed are tired from compensating for my broken foot. I suffer and always have done with restless legs, a very distressing and irritating condition whereby I'm often flexing my legs through the night, to the point I've only gotten a few hours sleep.  So when an email pinged into my inbox offering to send me some samples I was delighted as knew I would be using them straight away. The Bath Flakes contain 100% natural magnesium chloride, are certified vegan, palm oil derivative free, dermatologically tested and eco-friendly!
