hey everybody it's doctor Jo, and the folks at Pro mag sent me some of their
products to try for pain relieving and performance. so let's get started.
so the first product here is their pain relief
cooling gel, and then they also have a performance gel. and so I'm going to talk
a little bit more about the pain relieving gel to start off with. so
what's really cool about this is a lot of you always ask me are there some
alternatives instead of just taking pain medication and the pro mag really prides
itself on being all-natural. and one of the key things they have for the pain
relieving gel is menthol. and so menthol has a nice cooling effect and there are
some other essential oils in there but the menthol is what I really like. and
there's some other products out there that have that. and so when you put it on
your body, you get this nice kind of cooling effect that starts off slow. when
you first put it on, you don't quite feel it and then it kind of ramps up and it's
really nice and it just kind of takes away the pain, especially at a specific
area. but one of their biggest things is that they have magnesium in there. and if
you know much about magnesium, a lot of studies show that a lot of people are
deficient in magnesium, and magnesium has a lot of great things to help out with
muscle cramps, high blood pressure, even things like anxiety and depression. and
so when you're doing something topical or transdermal on the skin, the idea is
it's going right to where you want it to. so for me I've had my hip surgery not
too long ago, a couple months ago, and every once in awhile that still acts up a
little bit. if I turn it really quickly, but especially at night when I'm not
able to pay attention as much. and so when I put this on it first of all made
it feel really good because it had a nice cooling effect and when I'm
sleeping I like to be a little bit cooler, so that was pretty awesome,
but the magnesium component of it really helps too because it helps with you know
those muscle cramping, the irritation. I believe I got a little bit of tendinitis
in there and it really did feel like it helped, and I didn't have to take you
know an anti-inflammatory or some kind of pain
medication orally that sometimes that sometimes upsets your stomach. so there there is some
research out there that shows that going in through the skin, that transdermal
application, is a little bit better than oral supplementation, but it's you know as
some of its mixed out there, but my thing is if you try it and it feels good, why
not have the magnesium component as well that might help with other benefits. so
it's really neat I like it. a little bit goes a long way. so I'm gonna put it on. I
like it kind of on my legs here because when I'm running and stuff you know for
my shins or the shin splints and things like that, and then I also put it on my
hip where my surgery site was. and so like I said, you know just a little bit
goes a long way and you see it's got a cool little green color to it. and so I
just put this and then I'm just gonna rub it in. and so when you first rub it
in this it's a little cool, but again it doesn't have that quick effect until it
just kind of ramps up a little bit. so it's got that that nice menthol scent
to it. and some people aren't fans of that, I actually like it. it clears out my
sinuses it makes it you know smells and gets that clearness in there. so that's
always really nice and so you just rub it in really nice and then you're done
and you can and go with it. and so probably in about two or three minutes
I'll I'll let you know I really kind of start feeling it. and so I think it's a
really good option for getting some pain relief especially to a specific area and
not having to take actually medication that might have some side effects to it.
they also have their performance gel which is some, I think they originally
geared it towards athletes to help out you know like with muscle cramping and
fatigue and things like that, but anybody can use it especially if you want that
magnesium component. so I'm gonna put the performance on my other leg and and the
the the main difference is the performance doesn't have the menthol or
a couple other of the essential oils that are the actual pain relieving part.
so this is really just more for getting that supplement into your body, and again
you can put it on different parts of your body a couple times a day. and so
this one doesn't have much of a scent to it at all. I think I think I can smell a
little bit of the aloe in it which is really nice as well because aloe has a
great kind of healing component as well. so if you want to check out all the
minerals and things that they have their website is great it goes into detail
about what it helps for and what it is, but I really like especially the pain
relieving one because, it could be the placebo effect, but I really did feel
like it helped for me. so if you're interested in purchasing any of their
