mrsD, Do you rub the cream on areas with neuropathy pain? Why do you think this helps, because you are deficient?

Do you think the Alta brand magnesium chloride is a decent product? Do you see any reason to not use it?

Thanks a lot,

Also, I get mine at Costco. They carry it in the OTC section. And will order it for you too.

I've been using the new CVS lotion....I find it very nice.
Take a look.

It is in our local store for $10.49. A very nice base, unscented and moisturizing too.

That product does not say --delayed release. It costs more than the brand name SlowMag... so why pay more?

SlowMag is quite affordable now at WalMart.
I don't know anything about the Alta product, but it seems a bit expensive to me. Not being delayed release it may be laxative for some people. The delayed actions make for gentler effects for some.

I apply the lotion to my arms. I've been using magnesium supplements for over a decade...to lower my blood pressure, and improve the utilization of essential fatty acids. Magnesium dilates blood vessels and improves circulation too. I get leg cramps if I don't use it.

It doesn't matter where you apply the lotion...the mag goes thru the skin. If your feet have poor circulation, you might apply to the tops of them and the calves. Applied at night really helps with relaxation and sleep too.

If you prefer to order online, Amazon has Slow Mag for a very reasonable price. i order mine from Purdue Products via Amazon currently selling for $19.36 for a pack of 2 (60 tabs each). If you order 2 (240 tabs), you even get free shipping. I've ordered several times through this seller with no problems.
