Mg12 is one of my favorite products for recovery. I discovered the product in 2016 and have been using regularly ever since. My favorite products are their bath salts and MagneSport oil, and they always come with me when I travel for races or otherwise. What’s so great about magnesium oil? From their website:
“In our research, we have found studies showing that magnesium plays a vital role in the performance of any muscles in the body including the Heart. Magnesium plays an important role in the contraction and relaxation of muscles; it is responsible for the delivery of potassium and calcium across those cell membranes in the muscle, which are directly responsible for the conduction of nerve impulses, muscle contraction and the normal rhythm of your heart. Adequate levels of magnesium and potassium will reduce the chances of having muscle spasms or cramps.”
I use the MagneSport oil after long workouts, or any time that I think my legs need a little help with recovery. I rarely get DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) these days, and part of that is likely because I consistently use the MagneSport oil after a strenuous workout. I love their new roller version as it’s easier to transport and apply when travelling. I keep the liquid oil next to my bathroom sink and use it at home after a shower. It’s the first thing I recommend to people if they mention they’re having muscle soreness, from other athletes all the way to my stepmom who was complaining of leg cramps. I can’t remember the last time I had a foot cramp in bed, which is awesome since I hadn’t thought of that until now 🙂
The MagneSport Dead Sea Bath Salts are also a favorite of mine. I use them every time I get a chance to take a bath, and I use them the night before a race to relax and help me sleep. I tend to buy them in bulk. My last order was for 15lbs worth! It’s been suggested to add a little baking soda to the bath to help the absorption process. This isn’t something I’ve tried yet, but I’ve been meaning to!
