BetterYou Magnesium Flakes - 1kg

BetterYou Magnesium Flakes are pure magnesium chloride hexahydrate flakes (47 % MgCl₂) harvested from the ancient Zechstein seabed — a pristine source protected from modern pollutants. These natural mineral flakes are designed to be added to a warm bath or foot soak, allowing magnesium to be absorbed through the skin (transdermal absorption), bypassing the digestive system for more efficient uptake.

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including muscle function, nerve transmission, energy-yielding metabolism, electrolyte balance, bone health and psychological function. The bath or foot soak experience itself may support muscle relaxation, stress relief, improved sleep quality and skin hydration, making magnesium flakes a beneficial addition to self-care routines.

This 1 kg pack provides enough flakes for multiple uses and is suitable for vegan, vegetarian and sensitive-skin use (dermatologically tested on many listings).

Important Advice:

• This product is for external use only — do not ingest.

• Use as part of a balanced lifestyle and wellbeing routine.

• Consult a doctor or pharmacist if pregnant, breastfeeding or under medical supervision before regular intensive use.

Active Ingredient:

• Magnesium chloride hexahydrate flakes (≈47 % MgCl₂ concentration) — a highly absorbable form of magnesium used for transdermal supplementation via baths or soaks.

Nothing else is added — no artificial colours, fragrances or preservatives, meaning the flakes are a natural source of elemental magnesium suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

Safety Information:

• External Use Only: BetterYou Magnesium Flakes are intended for bath or foot soak use only. Do not ingest.

• Avoid Eye Contact: If flakes or bath water get into eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water.

• Skin Sensitivity: On initial use, a mild tingling sensation or temporary skin warmth may occur as magnesium begins to be absorbed through the skin — this is usually harmless but discontinue use if irritation persists.

• Avoid Broken Skin: Do not use on broken, inflamed or diseased skin.

• Children & Vulnerable Groups: Keep flakes out of reach of children; ensure baths are supervised.

• Medical Conditions: If you have eczema, dermatitis or significant skin sensitivities, or are pregnant, breastfeeding or have an underlying health condition, consult a doctor or pharmacist before prolonged or frequent use.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture to prevent clumping of flakes.
