The Kirkman product comes with a measuring spoon... 100mg of magnesium/ gram measure.

This is handy, because adults should aim for 200mg a day to start.
Adults need about 400mg of mag a day, and if you eat some mag rich foods, you don't need the full RDA from the cream. Those who avoid nuts, beans, leafy greens, should use more of the cream/lotion.

I found that this lotion lowered my high blood pressure to more normal levels. So if you take blood pressure drugs, you should test yourself often to see if your medication becomes too strong for you.

Discuss any changes with your doctor. If you skip or stop using the magnesium topical your blood pressure will go back up if you have hypertension.
