Full details

The Westlab Magnesium Bath Flakes are designed for adults seeking a natural way to enhance sleep quality and reduce physical discomfort. They offer a key benefit of boosting the body's magnesium levels, which can alleviate fatigue, anxiety, and aching muscles, leading to a more restful sleep. A potential caveat is that while beneficial for many, individuals with specific medical conditions should consult a healthcare professional before use. These flakes are a pure, readily absorbed form of magnesium chloride, suitable for sensitive skin and various user groups including babies, children, and those who are pregnant.

FAQs

How often should I use Westlab Magnesium Bath Flakes?

It is recommended to use the magnesium bath flakes 2-3 times a week for optimal benefits.

Can babies use these magnesium flakes?

Yes, they are safe for infants over 3 months old. Use a heaped teaspoon in a baby bath with warm water.

Are these suitable for use during pregnancy?

Yes, Westlab Magnesium Flakes are considered safe for use during pregnancy.

What is the recommended amount for a child?

For older children, initially use approximately 100g-250g per 15cm adult bath, increasing to a maximum of 500g for under 10s. Always use warm water.

Can I use hot water with the magnesium flakes?

It is best to use warm water, around 37°C. Very hot water can sometimes reduce the effectiveness of mineral absorption and may be too intense for sensitive skin.

What makes these flakes different from regular bath salts?

Westlab Magnesium Flakes are made of pure magnesium chloride, specifically chosen for its high absorption rate. They are designed to actively replenish magnesium levels, whereas regular bath salts may primarily focus on relaxation or scent.

How long should I soak for?

A soak of approximately 20 minutes is recommended to allow sufficient time for magnesium absorption through the skin.

Troubleshooting

Flakes not dissolving quickly

Ensure the water is warm enough (around 37°C) and stir gently to help them dissolve. Complete dissolution may take a few minutes.

Skin irritation after use

Although rare and suitable for sensitive skin, discontinue use if irritation persists and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure you are using the correct dosage, especially for children.

No perceived benefits after initial use

Magnesium levels build up over time. Consistent use, 2-3 times per week, is recommended for optimal results. Allow several weeks to assess effectiveness.
