Review (5/5): These flakes dissolve faster than any salt I've ever used 🦆💦
First off, this bag of Magnesium flakes from Horbäach is huge! I've pictured it next to a full sized bag of Dr. Teal's Magnesium salts, for reference. You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck here. This bag of Magnesium flakes is fragrance free, so you have more options as well. You can scent the portions individually, (if you so choose), by adding a few drops of your favorite essential oils, or you can simply use it as-is. The flakes dissolve quicker than any of the commercially prepared salts I've ever used, which make these perfect for soaking. Skin is baby soft after a 20 minute bath, and muscle fatigue is greatly reduced. Magnesium Chloride soaks have helped my husband's charlie horses become far less frequent. Unfortunately he can't absorb Magnesium from his diet, so we have to supplement. Without this and high quality vitamins, he would suffer.
There are some things I didn't realize when I ordered this product, but I found to be very interesting after researching the difference between Magnesium Chloride vs. Magnesium Sulfate:
Both compounds contain a similar level of elemental Magnesium, but the key difference between Magnesium Chloride (flakes) and Magnesium Sulphate (salts) is the purity of Magnesium Chloride and the rate of its absorption within the body. It is reported that Magnesium Chloride is more easily absorbed and utilised by the body, compared to Epsom Salts.
This seems like a much better choice for our needs. I'm so glad to have discovered that something better like this exists, to help his condition.
