Review: I saw some recommendations to use magnesium if you are struggling with fertility so I thought I'd try a bottle. We have been trying to conceive for over a year. We fell pregnant the first cycle after I started using this. I have particularly sensitive skin and this definitely irritated me at first but then I read to spray it on the bottom of your feet so I have been doing that and it doesnt bother me at all.

Review: After trying the Better You Sensitive Magnesium Spray I thought I'd try this one. I was still looking for it to benefit my sleep and hoped that with the increased amount of magnesium it might work out better for me. Although it is recommended to build up the amount of sprays used over time, I didn't do this as I'd previously been using the sensitive version and I started taking 6 to 8 sprays a day. With the mg per 10 sprays being 200 this meant I was getting 57% of the RDA if I used 10 sprays but most days I would just do 6 to 8 sprays as I find it quite an inconvenience to do more. With just 6 sprays I found that it took a long time to rub in and even then it left a sticky residue on the skin, this doesn't absorb fully over time either. Some mornings I would wake up and the area skin of skin sprayed would still feel tacky. For these reasons using the recommended amount of sprays according to the packaging was just too much hassle. As with the other spray, I expected a stinging sensation as others had commented on the different magnesium sprays but I did not get this which I was pleased about. Sometimes it felt warm or itchy for half an hour ish after spraying but not in an uncomfortable way and it wasn't very often. I didn't really notice this was doing much to my sleep, I had been hoping for better quality sleep and not waking up feeling tired, this was until I went on holiday. I didn't take the spray with me as I didn't want extra and potentially unnecessary things in my suitcase but after a few days of being away I started to notice how tired I was feeling in the morning. This went on for a few days when I got home also as I had got out of the habit of using the spray. When I realised and started using again I started to notice I was less tired when I woke up and throughout the day. I am glad I discovered this in that way as it shows that it was having a big effect, I just wasn't noticing it, which is the problem with some products like this, it's hard to know if they're working or if you're wasting your money! I do find that I have to use this product in the morning or at lunchtime which is why the stickiness is even more of an inconvenience than if I was using at night whilst my pyjamas are on. If I use the spray too close to bedtime it doesn't help me to sleep, it keeps me awake. I've no idea why this happens but it still benefits me at night, I just can't use it then. I've also noticed how it lessens anxiety when I use it which is beneficial. I think this is a great option for magnesium and it's an affordable product that lasts a good amount of time before it needs repurchasing, definitely worth a try to improve sleep.
