Description
"Magnesium Flakes" are a transdermal source of magnesium, commonly used in baths and foot soaks for relaxation and muscle recovery. Dissolving in warm water, they allow magnesium to be absorbed through the skin, easing soreness and fatigue. Their role extends to promoting circulation, reducing stress, and calming the nervous system. In addition, magnesium supports skin hydration, alleviating irritation and dryness. Frequently incorporated into wellness routines, magnesium flakes provide a convenient way to support muscle function, nerve health, and relaxation.
