Topical magnesium products is ideal for athletes who need high levels of magnesium. ALKA12™ formulas have a unique purity and most highest concentration of magnesium reached by science. Most importantly, ALKA12™ is totally Ionized magnesium. It means it has an electric charge to it, so it would be fully assimilated by the body and it will end up in the body cells instantly and focus on the problematic area. ALKA12™ helps to increase enegy level and to recover from severe athletic injuries in record time. Athletes and Coaches can now treat injuries, prevent them, and increase athletic performance all at the same time.

Injury is an almost inevitable part of an athlete’s life. It may take the form of an acute ligament tear or be as mild as post-exercise muscle soreness. Either way, the majority of sports related injuries can be prevented or alleviated. It is not uncommon to hear of an athlete suffering a sports injury. Generally when a star athlete is injured, the injury becomes headline news. And the public waits anxiously to hear any news on the condition of the player. Every athlete gets injured from time to time; it’s part of the courage and discipline of athletes to endure and a challenge to their spirits to remain positive and optimistic about their return to full performance.  When an athlete gets injured they want top quality care that is at the leading edge of sports medicine.

TOPICAL MAGNESIUM IS THE OPTIMUM WAY

Magnesium is one of the most important mineral in sports nutrition and wellness. Active people and athletes, deplete their magnesium reserve at speed, and supplementation is inevitable because this mineral has become a hard-to-find in our diet. Topical Magnesium is the optimum way to replenish cellular levels into our bodies says Dr. Richard Danel, President of the Magnesium Health Institute.

According to scientific research, magnesium chloride is best absorbed by your skin. It is a perfect addition to your diet and to supplements. If you apply it to your skin, it will end up in your cells right away." Many professional athletes use the magnesium gel and oil to massage their muscles". "You will have double the effect: the mineral must be applied directly to where it is needed so you mat recover faster. This helps to stimulate blood circulation and to reduce muscle aches instantly.

If you are like most athletes, you want to heal naturally from your injury and do so in record time without having to resort to drugs or surgery. There is no greater way to accomplish this than by usine topical magnesium medicine , says Dr. Jeff Schutt , doctor of chiropractic who specializes in developing performance in sports and fitness.

The last thing any trainer or sports doctor wants to see are their athletes injured. hamstring injuries can be avoided through nutritional support because contraction and relaxation is dependent on adequate cellular levels of magnesium. “A shortened hamstring is a result of lack of available magnesium,” he says. Topical Magnesium can be simply applied and rubbed into a sore Achilles tendon to decrease swelling. And soaking the feet in a magnesium chloride footbath is the single best thing – apart from stretching – that you can do for yourself to protect from, or recover from hamstring and other injuries. Magnesium Gel or Magnesium oil can be applied directly to inflamed areas.

Topical Magnesium Therapy offers an exciting breakthrough in sports medicine. Athletes and Coaches can now treat injuries, prevent them, and increase athletic performance all at the same time.

Topical Magnesium Therapy enhances recovery from athletic activity or injuries. It reduces pain and inflammation while propagating quicker regeneration of tissues. Topical application of magnesium increases flexibility, which helps avoid injury. It also increases strength and endurance. Topical Magnesium Therapy is a boon for athletes, coaches and doctors who practice sports medicine.

ALKA12™ Topical Magnesium products, are applied and absorbed directly onto the skin and has an immediate effect on pain. Topical Magnesium Therapy is ideal for pain management, sports injury treatment, diabetic neuropathy and inflammation.

The combination of heat and magnesium increases circulation and waste removal. The therapeutic effect of magnesium baths is to draw inflammation out of the muscles and joints.

Dr Carolyn Dean, Medical Advisory Board member of the Nutritional Magnesium Association (USA) Magnesium is intimately involved in efficient muscle function. The mechanisms include oxygen uptake, electrolyte balance and energy production. Dean explains that magnesium relaxes muscles and balances calcium, which contracts muscles, working together to make muscles work properly. “ATP, the main source of energy in cells, must be bound to a magnesium ion in order to be biologically active. ”Athletes take note: Magnesium is lost in sweat but not replenished by the normal electrolyte replacement drinks. Ensuring your magnesium levels stay sufficient will ultimately help eliminate muscle cramps, lactic-acid buildup, and aches and pains.

Dr. Linda Rapson, who specializes in treating chronic pain, believes that about 70 per cent of her patients who complain of muscle pain, cramps and fatigue are showing signs of magnesium deficiency.

“Virtually all of them improve when I put them on magnesium,” says Rapson, who runs a busy Toronto pain clinic. “It may sound too good to be true, but it’s a fact.” Oral magnesium is not easily absorbed and at high doses creates diarrhea.  Thus oral magnesium offers little to athletes but transdermal application opens up an entirely new universe to athletes and their coaches and doctors who want to do everything to reduce injuries, treat injuries effectively when they do occur and of course want to increase performance. Topical magnesium products is ideal for athletes who need high levels of magnesium. Magnesium provides a valuable lactic acid buffer for the lactic acid produced by strenuous exercise.  Only in the past decade has the value of magnesium been realized for its buffering capacity. Accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles can impair performance, endurance, and cause athletes to “hit the wall.” Magnesium will help prevent this.

Sports massage is for a pre-event rubdown or as a post-event recovery to sooth the aches and pains caused by physical exertion. A restorative or rehabilitative sports massage during training helps you train harder or nurse a sports injury back to health. Imagine if magnesium oil is used instead of massage oils how much more dramatic the results will be. Massage has been used for thousands of years and in recent decades has re-emerged as an accepted method to enhance the physical, physiological and psychological well being of athletes.

ALKA12™ Magnesium Sports Massage Gel helps increase flexibility, increase muscle tone and therefore reduce the risk of injury.

Other benefits are breakdown of scar tissue after injury, improved blood circulation and increased oxygenation to the tissues which provides general relaxation and stress reduction and improves sports performance. Athletes recovering from injuries will find that magnesium massage speeds up their return to competition so the managers, trainers and owners of sports clubs will invest in the treatments.  A magnesium massage holds great potential to assist athletes to become better, rather than merely normal. Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, magnesium massage can break them down quickly and effectively. Magnesium sports massage can help prevent those niggling injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement, whether a person is an elite athlete or a once a week jogger.

A typical treatment of sports injuries includes massage, gentle rhythmical movements (harmonics), and stretching, articulatory and manipulative techniques. Emphasis is placed on increasing the range of movement, decreasing muscle tension, and improving circulation of the blood vessels and lymphatic system. The effect of this is to decrease swelling and pain, thereby enhancing the body’s self-healing process.

Dr. Damien Mouellic , Sports Clinic and Oestophaty (France):

I have been prescribing magnesium in different forms to my patients and for over the last 20 years. Magnesium is excellent to reduce muscular tension as well as psychological stress. It helps reduce striated muscle tension and contractions as well as smooth muscle contraction. The intima layer of the artery is a smooth muscle that is subject to contraction under psychological stress (chronic or acute) the same way your musculoskeletal system is. It is excellent to restore contractibility and elasticity of a muscle post injury or after a sustained effort. A relaxed muscle will aslo allow for more effective drainage of lactic acid which is responsible for cramps and is toxic for the myocytes (muscle cells) when not drained adequately. Another excellent use for magnesium is constipation. Magnesium citrate relaxes the bowel and can be used to increase peristalsis to offset chronic or acute constipation. At our practice, we appreciate the use of the ALKA12 Magnesium Gel which is natural and the formula contains a pure and hight concentration base of magnesium chloride. This form of magnesium is totally ionized and therefore best absorbed by the skin, feeding muscles with energy and oxygen. In case of an injury, you can apply it on the problematic area and this really helps athletes to recover much faster. Overall magnesium used orally or topically has numerous health benefits and it should be prescribed on a regular basisaccordingly by all medical practitioners”
