Lifesaver!
I have tested this for about a month and I must say that it works very effectively for me!
I have extremely sensitive skin, but this does not cause me any discomfort at all.
My background:
Before using this magnesium oil, I had never taken any magnesium supplements, but I've had constant cramps and muscle aches.
Other issues I had were constant fatigue, dizziness and heart palpitations.
Visits to the doctor did not help and their checks turned out normal.
I did not have my blood tested for nutrient levels, nor was I advised to do so or to take any supplements.
After my cramps and aches reached an unbearable state (I passed out from the pain of a full body cramp), I decided to do my own research.
I chanced upon this product and decided to give it a try due to the many reviews about the great customer service.
I will be summarizing my experiences with this product below.
Notes:
I apply a pump on the sole of each foot and rub it in before going to sleep at night.
I am 85lb and react very quickly to any substances that I come into contact with.
My experiences:
1. 5 minutes after application, I feel the blood pulsing through my feet.
According to the information provided, this is an indicator of magnesium deficiency.
2. 10 minutes after application, my cramps stop entirely and I am generally pain free for the next 20 hours or more.
I re-apply whenever the cramps hit me, and they subside in about 5 minutes.
3. I am less achy generally. It could be due to less cramps, or the fact that I'm on vacation after graduation.
I have definitely noticed that my usually tight and tense muscles are more relaxed now.
4. It helps with my insomnia. I usually take about 4 hours to fall asleep, if not more..
I now take about 30 minutes to under 2 hours to fall asleep. Again, this could be due to less stress and pain.
5. It relieves muscle aches from exercise very quickly.
It reduces my recovery time from walking too much (don't judge me...) from about three to five days to an overnight recovery.
6. It has helped to balance my hormones and improve my mood.
I was in a near constant state of depression, and I as well as the people around me have noticed the changes in my mood.
7. It seems to have helped with my health in general.
I was always rather sickly, especially after the cramping in my body started.
I am now feeling much better overall and having less issues with PMS and falling sick around the time of the month.
I am also no longer dizzy, fatigued and have fewer episodes of heart palpitations.
Although # 3, 4, 6 and 7 could be due to other factors, the application of this magnesium oil directly affects the issues I mentioned in # 1 and 5.
There are only a few issues with this product, and I'm really nitpicking here:
1. The magnesium oil leaves a tacky residue so if I don't wear socks or slippers, my feet will pick up anything that is on the ground.
2. Even though my skin isn't sensitive to the product, I only apply it to my soles as there is a slight metallic smell that is not to my liking.
However, I must note here that I am extremely sensitive to scents.
Other family members who have tried it do not have an issue with the smell at all.
3. The pump is a little stiff, and it sometimes takes me a few tries to get a spray out of the bottle if I'm not holding it just right.
It could be due to the viscosity of the product, and I have really small hands so that could be the issue as well.
Overall, this is a great product, I have been recommending this to my family members who have similar problems, and it has helped them as well. :)
P.S. Seven Minerals does really have great customer service. I received an email with an information packet about the product shortly after my purchase, and a follow up email after from the customer service to make sure that everything was to my satisfaction.
Two thumbs up!
