Many people don’t realize how important magnesium is to the proper functioning of our body. Magnesium is essential for muscle and nerve function, energy production, and sleep. Magnesium deficiency is common, and many of us don’t get enough from our diet alone.

Magnesium oil is a topical solution that may support relaxation, muscle cramps, and improved sleep by delivering magnesium through the skin. It offers a convenient alternative for those seeking targeted relief or avoiding oral supplements.

When magnesium oil is applied to the skin, it is absorbed into the body and enters the bloodstream. The skin’s natural barrier helps regulate how much magnesium is absorbed, which makes topical application a gentle and efficient way to support magnesium levels.

There are many benefits to magnesium, here is a short list. We encourage you to do your own research into the benefits of magnesium.

May help with…
Heart health
Reduce risk of developing depression
Ease anxiety symptoms
Support healthy blood sugar levels
Reduce inflammation
Reduce symptoms of PMS
Promote relaxation and sleep
Lower frequency of headaches
Support bone health
Support digestive function
Reduce bruxism
Support workouts
