Description

Product Overview

NOW Foods Magnesium Flakes are a high-quality magnesium salt in the form of crystallised flakes, packaged in a generous 1531 gram bag. NOW Foods products are well-known for their long history in the health food industry, focusing on purity, sustainability, and scientifically based formulations. The company was founded in 1968 in the USA and has since worked to offer dietary supplements and wellness products that combine natural raw materials with modern manufacturing methods. The magnesium flakes are specially designed for baths and foot baths, where they can be dissolved in warm water for a simple and relaxing magnesium supplement experience without the need to swallow tablets or capsules.

Active Ingredients 26 Science

The main active ingredient in Magnesium Flakes is magnesium chloride, a form of magnesium known for its high water solubility and good bioavailability when used in bath water. Magnesium can be absorbed gently through the pores of the skin, making the product an alternative for those who want to supplement magnesium intake without oral consumption. Magnesium is a mineral naturally found in the body and plays a role in several physiological processes.

Benefits 26 Uses

  • Relaxing Bath Experience: The magnesium flakes can be used in the bath to create a calming and pleasant moment after a long day.
  • Muscle Care: Suitable for those who want to soften and care for muscles after physical activity or sedentary work.
  • Skin Care: The product can help maintain the skin's natural balance when used in baths or foot baths.
  • Alternative Magnesium Supplement: For people who have difficulty taking magnesium via tablets or powders, this offers a simple and gentle way to provide magnesium.
  • Stress Management: A warm magnesium-rich bath can be part of a routine to create calm and well-being in daily life.

Usage 26 Dosage

To use Magnesium Flakes, it is recommended to add about 1-2 cups (150-300 grams) of flakes to a bathtub with warm water. Stir until the flakes are completely dissolved before entering the bath. A bath of 15-20 minutes is sufficient to enjoy the product. For a foot bath, a smaller amount is enough, approximately 50 grams in a basin of warm water. The product can be used daily or as needed. Since magnesium is absorbed through the skin, it is a convenient complement to other magnesium supplements and can also be combined with, for example, magnesium tablets after individual assessment.

Magnesium Flakes are manufactured under strict GMP procedures (Good Manufacturing Practice) and are free from unnecessary additives, guaranteeing a pure and safe product.
