## Questions & Answers

**Q: is there a difference between magnesium flakes and epsom salts? Which is the better route to greater mag absorbtion?**
A: Hi we were told by a physiotherapist that magnesium chloride is best absorbed by the skin. You can make your own solution up by using one cup of magnesium flakes and one cup of cooled boiled water,still hot enough to dissolve the magnesium flakes, Store the solution in a spray bottle and spray your body with about 10 ~14 short bursts after a shower or bath, it can sting just a little but that is o.k. This way is much more economical than using 250 grams in your bath, I have found that it has helped me with my insomnia. Remember that you only absorb about 4% of the magnesium in tablets and they use magnesium oxide which is cheap and not much good according to my chemist. Hope this helps.

**Q: tofu**
A: From their website:"Our Magnesium Flakes, Magnesium Oil Original spray and Magnesium Soak are all perfectly safe to ingest. The purity of our source actually makes them all pharmaceutical grade products. They are safe for human consumption and are actually used in organic baby food as an alternative to sodium chloride."

**Q: How much magnetism fakes to hot water to make the oil for spray bottle? Many thanks**
A: I use a ratio of 1 part flakes to 3 parts water.  Eg measure out 300ml of cold distilled water (distilled preferably, as lasts almost indefinitely) or filtered water.  Measure out 100g of flakes, add to water, stir for about half a minute or until flakes are completely dissolved, and bottle.  The approximate equivalent of 1 x 5ml teaspoon is about the equivalent to 200mg of magnesium, which is approximately half a daily recommended dose when taken internally, but as you could expect to absorb it better through the skin, this may be all you need.

**Q: Can you use in an ice bath**
A: They can be used in and ice bath but absorption would be slowed due to the pores of the skin closing.  The optimal absorption is achieved in a warm bath as pores will be relaxed and open.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant as part of a post workout therapy
*by M***S on 7 January 2017*

As part of our post workout therapies, as well as other needs, we like to soak our feet or bodies in dissolved magnesium flakes to aid recovery and aid replenishing stores of depleted magnesium which often isn't replaced entirely through our diets. Due to demanding lives and fitness regimes we also put ourselves under a lot of stress which using magnesium helps relax us as well as provide better nights of sleep/rest. We made the switch from Epsom salts quite sometime and have never looked back. As this is Magnesium chloride hexahydrate its the better quality magnesium which makes it very effective in spray or soaking use. We also like to make our own magnessium spray where we mix approx one cup of flakes with one cup of cooled boiled water and have this available in a spray bottle. Given the large amount required when putting it directly in to a bath this tub gives roughly 4 servings or about 6 if just soaking feet in less water. To get the most out the tub we like to make our own spray which we apply in the evening all over and our forearms during the day when possible. The spray does have a little sting but this soon wears off. In terms of effectiveness it works wonders as part of our post workout recovery therapy.
