Ancient MineralsMagnesium Lotion – Zechstein Magnesium Chloride Cream with Shea Butter, Organic Oils & Hyaluronic Acid for Skin Hydration, Non-Greasy Body Lotion, 5oz

This is a wonderful product! I apply it to the bottom of my feet before I go to bed and sleep wonderfully! I find this product works great on occasional leg cramps also! I just rub Magnesium Lotion to my cramp and the cramp goes away almost instantly! I always keep it on hand!

I usually take magnesium at night to help me fall asleep. I thought I would give this a try after reading about it. It does help relieve pain, and it also --for me---provides a nice, drowsy-relaxed feeling. I like taking magnesium so there is no hangover effect the next morning so I can still wake up for work with no problems. Initially, I was having what I guess was restless-leg issues. Just an uncomfortable feeling in my legs/ calves where they sort of twitch and just won't relax to let you sleep. One pump of this spread on both calves solved that problem COMPLETELY. I put it on other areas like if my hip or lower back is aching, and it helps me fall asleep by relieving the pain in that area. Also, works great if you over-did it from exercise so have achy muscles. I have used it on my neck, shoulders, upper arms, trigger thumb joint pain, low back, hip, legs and feet. No problems whatsoever----besides the drowsiness effect on me. (I would say you could probably gauge if you will feel drowsy/sleepy vs. just relaxed and pain-free based on the effect any other magnesium supplement you have tried has affected you. I just happen to be super-sensitive to it.)I recently bought this product that also contains MSM after reading about the pain relieving effects of MSM on joints. My foot had started hurting mainly under the big toe after wearing some new shoes and doing a lot of walking that day. Anyway, using the cream has also been helpful in that regard, putting it on at night (again because it happens to cause me drowsiness).This does have a rust smell because it is a mineral. I typically wear vinyl or nitrile latex-free examination-type gloves to apply the cream since I do not want that smell on my hands. The smell does go away after a while if you do not want to use gloves. ( Also, I re-use the gloves.)Also, I have learned that this product with just the magnesium lotion is a bit stickier and smellier than the one which contains MSM, but that is because the one with MSM has 25mg magnesium per pump whereas this product contains only magnesium at 40mg per pump. Both lotions do absorb, but this one, at first, will have a bit of a sticky feel. The stickiness and odor both go away after maybe 10 minutes.Additionally, it is true this lotion does not have any effect on your bowel movements. Some can take magnesium during the day with no problems, but this magnesium though a lotion, affects me just like a pill supplement in that it causes me to feel drowsy. (Again, I only add this because I am super-sensitive and want to make sure anybody who is sensitive is aware you might not want to use this for the first time right before going to work. Also, even if you are sensitive to a magnesium-drowsy effect, it may not create that feeling for you with only one pump. )Bottom line: I think this is a great alternative to taking NSAIDs on a consistent basis which I have read is not good for the liver or stomach lining over time.

This is a great product. It works for me and I use it on my legs, ankles and toes every night to keep from getting cramps while I sleep. The only negative and it is a BIG negative is the packaging is terrible. I have this on auto-ship and in the last 3 orders, 2 of the pumps did not work AT ALL. The lotion can't be opened....the pump is built into the packaging so it is just useless. I hope the company finds a better source for packaging or I will have to find a different Magnesium lotion.

This is my third time reordering this product. I’ve been using Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion for a while now, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best magnesium products I’ve tried. The texture is smooth and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, making it perfect for daily use.What truly sets this lotion apart is its effectiveness. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in relief of joint pain. It also helps with sleep—just a small amount before bed on the bottom of my feet or where I have any aches and/or pains, and I wake up feeling more rested. Plus, the added skin-nourishing ingredients leave my skin feeling soft and hydrated.I have had no problems with the pump or the design. Each bottle lasts me at least a couple of months or more since only one dollop will do the trick.

This is the only cream that I have ever used for muscle pain that I would give 5 stars. It works immediately. I don't use it every day, far from it. My first container took me over a year to get through, but whenever I have any muscle pain this cream makes it disappear. At times I have had to reapply it within a couple hours, but usually after 2 applications the pain does not reappear.

After hearing how great this product is, I purchased in hopes of pain relief. However I tried pumping for about 10 minutes with no sign of anything coming out. I then looked at reviews and noticed this seems to be a common issue and like other reviewers have said, it cannot be returned. You would think this company would try a new pump method and give a refund/exchange for a defective pump but apparently not, even after so many complaints and being a known issue. Makes me question their product and customer service. I won’t be purchasing another in hopes that the pump will work. I don’t have the money to be throwing around on bad products. Super disappointed but more so disappointed with the company’s return policy. 0/10 recommend.UPDATE: after taking apart the bottle and messing around with it, I got it to work -for now. If you take off the bottom cap off and find something to shove up there it seems to release like an air bubble and actually pumps out. pictures included to understand what I am referring too. 0/10 rate stills stands and the packaging is garbage. Will update again after using for a few weeks to see if the actual product is worth the hassle and headache.

Easy to use and it helps with neurological symptoms
