Winter sports can be tough on the body!!!! And the cold seems to accentuate the aches and pains!!!!
It’s thought that athletes can lose up to 20% of magnesium during a single session. It’s thought that more than 300 functions of the body cannot work effectively without magnesium.
Magnesium activates vitamin D, which is needed for muscle recovery and regeneration. It improves circulation, stamina, and bone density and strength. Magnesium optimises performance and recovery and is key for maintaining healthy muscle and nerve function. It is an integral factor in cellular energy production pathways.
The active ingredient in wintergreen oil, methyl salicylate, is closely related to aspirin and has analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions to quickly cool and ease aches, swelling, strains and sports injuries. It aids circulation and recovery, and can provide quick temporary relief for back, joint and muscle discomfort including sciatica, and arthritic or rheumatic conditions. It activates oxygenation of ligaments, bones and muscles, and relieves tension.
Lemon Eucalyptus is a powerful anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and analgesic. It is ideal to relieve joint and/or muscle trauma such as tendonitis, elongation, contracture, lumbago, torticollis etc, and nerve inflammation such as neuralgia, neuritis, sciatica etc. It is thought to activate Wintergreen when used in conjunction with it.
Peppermint contains menthol, which has a cooling effect on sore, achy muscles. It also has analgesic, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Peppermint contains an oxygen molecule, so, improves oxygen saturation into the cells, for improved energy and stamina.
