What is magnesium?
Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the human body. It is an essential cofactor for more than 300 chemical reactions, including those relating to heart health, vascular tone, nerve function and muscle contraction and relaxation. Magnesium is also necessary for tooth and bone formation, protein synthesis and cell division. In addition magnesium contributes to normal energy metabolism, healthy psychological function, reducing tiredness and fatigue; and in children magnesium contributes to normal growth and development.
Magnesium deficiency is increasingly being implicated in a large number of health conditions with much research ongoing. One of the ways we've traditionally consumed magnesium is through our diet, however, due to soil depletion from modern farming practices, minerals have been stripped from the soil.
What is magnesium oil (topical magnesium)?
Magnesium chloride (nicknamed magnesium oil) is an easy-to-absorb form of magnesium that has the ability to raise levels of magnesium within the body when applied topically to the skin.
Can you have too much magnesium?
You do not need to worry about overdoing it when using topical magnesium. The upper limits (mg per day) are only relevant when using the product orally, as large doses can have a laxative effect due to it being a natural relaxant.
Toxic symptoms from increased magnesium intake are not common as the body eliminates excess amounts, unless there are serious problems with kidney function (see below for who should/should not use topical magnesium).
What is the difference between topical and oral methods of magnesium?
As well as a balanced diet rich in leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains, we also recommend using a magnesium supplement (as modern farming methods have reduced the level of minerals in the soil). Many forms of magnesium supplementation (both in topical and oral methods) are available and different forms may suit you more than others, you may even prefer a combination of the two.
Oral Magnesium
Magnesium in tablet or liquid form has been a common supplement for years to help improve levels and absorption. However, evolving research is showing that Magnesium delivered orally can be compromised by our digestive systems and limit the amount of active magnesium being absorbed and delivered where the body needs it most.
Topical Magnesium
Magnesium Chloride, when applied topically or transdermally via the skin, can help to improve your magnesium levels and reduce the ailments that are common with magnesium deficiencies. The absorption and bio-availability has been measured to be greater.
What is magnesium deficiency?
Over time, low magnesium can weaken your bones, give you bad headaches, make you feel nervous, and even affect your heart health. It can also lead to low levels of other important minerals like calcium and potassium. Although it's hard to measure your magnesium levels (see question below) the most commonly used method is observing common symptoms of magnesium deficiency, such as weakness/fatigue, tremors, cramping and twitching. High levels of magnesium are much less common than low levels. This happens to people who have damaged kidneys, or take certain drugs.
Some of the contributing factors present in our Western lifestyle include; increasing reliance on refined foods, as the processing removes essential minerals, consumption of processed, soft (demineralised) water and other drinks, consumption of coffee and alcohol, increased stress and production of (hormone) cortisol.
How do I know if I am magnesium deficient?
It can be difficult to tell if you are deficient in magnesium. Around 99% of your body's magnesium is stored in your bones, muscles and other soft tissues. Magnesium is tightly regulated by your body and only 1% is circulating in your intracellular fluid and blood, so blood serum tests are unlikely to provide much information about whether your body's store of magnesium is adequate.
Weakness, tremors, cramping and twitching are all signs of hypomagnesaemia (low magnesium), but these may only manifest if magnesium is becoming very low. Your magnesium stores may be sub-optimal without any of these symptoms being present.
Is it safe to use if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Not only is it safe, it is recommended to better support your magnesium levels whilst you are pregnant or breastfeeding. However, it is important that during pregnancy you avoid certain essential oils. Our Magnesium Active Range contain essential oils such as wintergreen that are not recommended during pregnancy.
All of our other Magnesium products are suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
