Trust & Pharmacist Advice
A warm bath can be an enjoyable way to relax after physical activity or a busy day. BetterYou Magnesium Flakes provide naturally sourced Zechstein magnesium chloride in a convenient format for baths and foot soaks.
Although magnesium is an essential dietary mineral, there is currently insufficient evidence to support authorised health claims that topical magnesium products increase magnesium levels or provide physiological benefits through skin absorption. For this reason, these flakes should be viewed as a premium bath product designed to enhance your bathing routine rather than as a substitute for dietary magnesium supplementation.
If you have eczema, sensitive skin or broken skin, seek advice from your pharmacist or healthcare professional before use.
