What the Evidence Says

AI-generated · Qwen 3.6 · grounded in 1 source · methodology

Magnesium is used to support muscle function and relaxation, though evidence for topical absorption via Epsom salts remains limited. Due to a lower safety score, users should be cautious of potential skin irritation or systemic magnesium levels. Consult a professional regarding specific contraindications.
