Why is using magnesium topically rather than orally through a pill or tablet more effective?

Magnesium molecules are small and are absorbed into the skin very quickly and enter the bloodstream immediately which provides fast and more effective relief than orally administered magnesium which has to traverse the gastrointestinal tract and get broken down in the liver before being released into the bloodstream. Magnesium supplements taken orally or internally like pills, capsules or solutions often also cause digestive disturbances, may have a laxative effect and over half of the magnesium can be lost through body waste due to poor absorption through the digestive system. Applying magnesium chloride topically through our Magnesium Oil Spray and Pure Magnesium Bath flakes ensures none of these symptoms occur because it is bypassing the digestive tract and is absorbed straight through the skin.

Where do you source your magnesium chloride from?

We sourced the purest and highest grade magnesium chloride flakes we could find which are from the pristine Tibetan Plateau. To ensure purity, production is 100% chemical free and natural solar energy is used for drying the flakes which maximises concentrated levels of magnesium. Our chloride flakes are so pure that they are certified as premium food-grade and have no fillers, additives, added colours or added fragrance. They are not tested on animals and are allergen, nut and gluten-free plus vegan-friendly.

What are some symptoms of magnesium deficiency?

Some of the symptoms include headaches, muscle aches and pains, muscle cramps and tightness, insomnia, fatigue and stress. More than 7 out of 10 people are magnesium deficient because they do not meet the minimum magnesium requirements and these are just some of the symptoms.

How do you become magnesium deficient?

Recent statistics have shown that close to 75% of people are deficient in magnesium. There are many reasons why we become magnesium deficient but the top four reasons are stress, poor diet, poor absorption and lower concentrations of magnesium in our soil. Chronic stress depletes the body of magnesium and having lower levels of magnesium intensifies stress leaving us in a no-win situation. Eating a poor diet of processed foods and consuming excess sugar, caffeine and alcohol gives our bodies no real nutritional value and depletes our already low magnesium levels. For example, for every molecule of sugar you consume it uses 54 molecules of magnesium just to process it! Eating a poor diet also leads to poor absorption of magnesium due to inflammation, insulin resistance, low stomach acid, leaky gut, gluten and dairy sensitivities and other GI disorders.

Over the last fifty years, we saw a massive increase in the growth of our population which lead to an increase in food demand, especially in crops of wheat, corn and rice. This agricultural production surge coupled with new agricultural practices, and the use of pesticides and fertilisers high in potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus exploited our fertile soils and depleted them of nutrients such as magnesium which was not added as part of the fertilising. To sustain intensive cropping and harvesting, plants need magnesium and when a large amount of potassium fertiliser is used without added magnesium the chances of plants absorbing sufficient amounts of magnesium through their roots are further reduced resulting in a decline in magnesium not only in our soil but also in our fruits, vegetables and cereals. This coupled with the animals we consume who are also being fed these nutrient-deficient plants has contributed to a deficiency of magnesium worldwide. Unfortunately, with billions of people worldwide relying on these food sources, there is no easy solution to the soil deficiency problem but we can take action by easily increasing our magnesium levels through topical use of magnesium oil and magnesium chloride bath flakes which will help eliminate the symptoms of magnesium deficiency.

Is Magnesium Oil an actual oil?

No, there is no oil in Magnesium Oil, it is given this name because it feels quite oily but it will dry quickly on your skin and it does not stain or leave an oily residue.

I feel a tingle, itch or stinging on my skin. Why?

Usually, when you experience a tingle, itch or stinging on your skin after application of the magnesium oil it means you are deficient in magnesium. Applying it to your feet or stomach usually ensures this does not occur but if it does, apply the magnesium oil over the top of a moisturiser or apply 20 minutes before showering and then rinse off. To obtain the benefits of magnesium please persist with using the Magnesium Spray and your skin will get used to it as your levels increase alternatively use our Pure Magnesium Bath Flakes which will not irritate your skin.

Should I choose the Magnesium Spray or the Pure Magnesium Bath flakes?

The short answer is both. The Magnesium Spray is easy to apply twice daily to ensure your magnesium levels are raised and maintained whereas the Pure Magnesium Bath flakes are great to use every time you have a bath or foot bath as an extra top-up of magnesium for times when you are stressed, sick, have sore and tired muscles, can’t sleep or you just need to relax!

How long does it take for the magnesium to work?

This depends on how deficient you are, sometimes it can work straight away and sometimes it can take weeks to see results. Everyone is different but consistency is key because every day we are using magnesium so you need to replenish every single day.

Can I use your magnesium products during pregnancy?

Yes absolutely! They are both safe to use through pregnancy and breastfeeding and can help ease muscle aches and pains, assist in relieving morning sickness and help promote a better night’s sleep. Pregnant women use up more magnesium stores so it is vital to replenish!

Can children use magnesium products?

Yes, both our Magnesium Spray and Pure Magnesium Bath Flakes can be used on all children from 3 months of age and can help calm and relax them, ease growing pains and promote a good night’s sleep as well as ensure their magnesium levels are maintained for healthy growth. Apply just two sprays to their feet or stomach. If they are extra sensitive dilute the Magnesium Spray with water to a ratio of 50:50 or apply over a moisturiser.
