Far too many athletes are abusing and excessively relying on pain relieving/anti-inflammatory medications (ex. buprofen and Naproxen) before or after exercise to reduce muscle soreness, aches, pains and niggles. What's even worse is hearing the many stories of athletes using NSAID's to get through a workout or race! These drugs aren’t without serious side-effects.
Overuse can cause a delay in musculoskeletal tissue repair and bone healing. NSAIDs can also damage your digestive tract, liver and kidneys. Other adverse effects are ulcers and internal bleeding. Keeping in mind that inflammation is a normal and necessary adaptation to training (it's also your body’s protective response to injury or infection), it's to your performance and health advantage to explore a safer way to reduce pains, niggles and soreness.
Instead of popping a pill, consider the skin as an effective organ to absorb nutrients. Since the skin is being used more frequently as a means to deliver substances into the body, topical creams/lotions/sprays can serve as a safe, effective, affordable and quick method for pain relief and muscle recovery for athletes.
Magnesium is an important element found in the human body and is known to help with muscle contractions, nerve functioning, cardiac activity, bone health and muscle soreness. Although found in dietary and supplemental forms, you can take advantage of the health benefits of magnesium through transdermal application of magnesium chloride.
According to the Mg12 website:
"We produce the purest and most effective Magnesium oil on the market. The most important aspect is the source of our magnesium chloride. There are numerous salt water sources available for the magnesium chloride needed to manufacture magnesium oil, but very few are considered to be as clean and effective. Only two sources have been found to be virtually free of both; the Dead Sea and deep underground basins. We have chosen the Dead Sea as the source of our magnesium chloride because along with its unsurpassed purity, it also contains a unique combination of 20+ macro and micro minerals that have been known for providing health benefits for thousands of years. The Mg12 process involves combining dead sea magnesium chloride salts with purified water, sending it through our proprietary filtration system that produces our ultra pure, pristine clean, and crystal clear MagneSoothe Magnesium Oil™."
"Mg12 mineral supplements are 100 percent pure magnesium, plus 20 essential mineral salts straight from the Dead Sea, the most ancient health retreat on Earth. Our Dead Sea Magnesium products are formulated and distributed from Tryon, North Carolina. We also produce other magnesium oil based products such as shampoo, soap, deodorant, and body balm for transdermal magnesium therapy."
