I am skeptical about this. While in theory it sounds great, not sure I'd be willing to try it. I have a 12hr job that can be very labor intensive and deals with the public all shift long, and Having BO is just not an option.0 -

A better option to get magnesium is to eat magnesium rich foods (dark chocolate is one!) or soak in Epsom salts bath...or you could eat chocolate while taking a bath.

I've tried a bunch of natural alternatives, but the normal antiperspirants you buy at the store just can't be beat if you can't afford to have BO. I wear natural stuff in the winter and if I'm not exercising, but it would be cruel to those around me to not put on the artificial antiperspirants when I go to the gym or in the summer.1 -
Never tried it. If it's healthier for you than antiperspirant/deodorant and it works, go for it.
I've used "the rock" and it works pretty damned well.0 -
Why not just use Crystal deodorant? It's all natural...no chemicals. Can't you get magnesium from food?
Lmao @ no chemicals.

Some vegans don't wear deodorant.

I use Jāsön Soothing Aloe Vera deodorant stick. The scent is pretty neutral and it works well.

Indeed. I eat 90% dark chocolate almost every day but I'm not a fan of baths, although Epsom salts are one of the best ways to absorb magnesium as well.cerise_noir wrote: »TheDevastator wrote: »It says on the bottle it can be used as a deodorant.

Do you drink coffee and eat vegetables? If so, why the concern over magnesium intake? Do you have a deficiency? A balanced diet should have you covered well enough that you don't need to depend on deodorant for magnesium.0

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals just as important as calcium. If you think coffee is high in magnesium you might be low as well.Carlos_421 wrote: »Do you drink coffee and eat vegetables? If so, why the concern over magnesium intake? Do you have a deficiency?

I like to top off my magnesium citrate levels before a long road trip. Don't want to be magnesium deficient!2 -

Are you looking for a magnesium supplement or a natural deoderant? Because if you want a magnesium supplement, just take Natural Calm. It's magnesium citrate, which is one of the more absorbable forms, and it won't burn your skin.EvgeniZyntx wrote: »You can also drink magnesium citrate.
I might have to try Natural Calm one of these days.0 -

I understand it's important but it's also in practically everything.
Not a lot in coffee but it's in there.0 -

No issues except smelling like a hippy?
(That's been my experience trying Tom's a few times before in my life.)0 -

Believe it or not we use unflavored milk of magnesia as our deodorant and it's fantastic. No BS. We've tried them all. And mt wide read about it somewhere and IT'S FANTASTIC. Let me know what y'all try and think.0

I have used milk of magnesia as a supplement to deoderant. I sweat a lot also and, to date, no bad smell!0

Works like a charm.2 -

It seems to neutralize the odor and even though I sweat I don't stink.0 -
