Magnesium Flakes

BetterYou’s magnesium flakes are crafted from 100% pure-source magnesium chloride, sourced from both subterranean and marine deposits. Naturally evaporated, purified, and condensed, they are designed for optimal absorption. Unlike traditional supplements, these magnesium flakes utilise transdermal delivery, allowing the mineral to be absorbed directly through the skin without the need for pills, ensuring faster and more efficient results. By bypassing the digestive system, where nutrients can be poorly absorbed, they provide superior bioavailability, making them an ideal choice for those looking to maximise their magnesium intake.

BetterYou empowers individuals to enhance their wellbeing through informed choices and innovative science, while also promoting sustainability to support both the environment and communities. Having won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise, the brand leads in nutritional innovation with its award-winning, pill-free supplements that overcome the limitations of traditional tablets and capsules. Scientifically formulated for maximum nutrient absorption and efficacy, these supplements are developed in collaboration with Cardiff University's Pharmacy and Pharmacology Research Team. Backed by leading scientists, they provide evidence-based solutions for optimal health.

Dosage:
1kg of Magnesium Flakes contains 120g of elemental magnesium.

Storage:
Magnesium Flakes are very hygroscopic and will quickly absorb moisture if left opened. Store in a dry place and quickly reseal opened bags.

Advisory information:
For external use only; Avoid contact with eyes; Do not use on damaged or broken skin.
Supplements should not replace a balanced diet or healthy lifestyle.

The Magnesium Tingle:
On initial application you may experience a slight tingling sensation. This may indicate low magnesium levels and is the result of the high speed absorption of magnesium through the pores. This will pass with regular use and as absorption commences immediately, skin can be towelled off after massaging in.
