Is transdermal magnesium safe to use during pregnancy?
Yes - magnesium is safe to use during pregnancy. Many customers cite topical magnesium as being incredibly helpful in providing relief from sciatica and restless legs / leg cramps during pregnancy. Supplementing with magnesium during pregnancy is important as it supports building of bones, regulates insulin and blood sugar levels and the functioning of enzymes. As always, we recommend consulting your physician with any questions prior to using.
