Review (5/5): Super and delivers what magnesium is designed for in the body
I've used this oil for over a year now. It truly does help me sleep better and deeper. I missed 3 nights in a row recently due to some oral surgery I had and just hurried through my shower, slathered on coconut oil, and went to bed. I slept very light and finally a few days after the pain and swelling of my surgery was tolerable, realized I had forgotten my magnesium oil. Started using again that night and slept great. Only thing i can attribute my sleep pattern to being better is the oil.Yes, it stings, until your body is getting the amount it needs. It doesn't take long for it to stop. Yes it is a bit "watery" and not a thick oil, but I apply to those areas that it is absorbed quickly ( inside thighs, under the jiggly area of arms ( whatever that is called, and of course mine don't jiggle..lol), inside wrists, and back of neck). I never have felt any sticky residue like some reviewers have. My husband had complete lumbar fusion surgery a yr ago and is full of rods, cages and screws. Though he's done great, he does have some issues with severe cramps in his legs and thighs at times, and still a lot of back pain and feet burning. He now after a ton of goading, lets me slather his back, legs, and feet with this oil, and cramps have ceased, so has his script for them...yayee, and he is not as stiff in the mornings. Magnesium truly is one of the miracle minerals. For me, though, fortunately I am very healthy and active, so the biggest thing I notice is the calm, deep, sleep, and I am sure all the other health benefits from Magnesium. As a health fanatic this is a "target" supplement I will always use and in this form. And one never has to worry about the laxative effect of mag citrate by using this form.
