FAQs

1. What is Magnesium?

Magnesium is a vital mineral that supports over 300 chemical reactions in the body. It plays a crucial role in heart health, nerve and muscle function, bone formation, energy production, and psychological well-being. It's also essential for children's growth and development.

Modern farming has led to soil depletion, reducing magnesium levels in food, making supplementation increasingly important.

2. What is Magnesium Oil?

Magnesium oil refers to magnesium chloride, a highly absorbable form of magnesium. It’s applied topically to the skin, allowing magnesium to enter the bloodstream effectively without passing through the digestive system.

3. Can You Have Too Much Magnesium?

Topical magnesium is generally safe, and the body naturally eliminates excess amounts. Overconsumption is a concern mostly with oral magnesium, which can have a laxative effect in large doses. Those with kidney issues should consult a healthcare provider before use.

4. What’s the Difference Between Topical and Oral Magnesium?

• Oral Magnesium:
  Available in tablets or liquid, but digestive issues can limit absorption.

• Topical Magnesium:
  Applied to the skin, often more bioavailable and absorbed more efficiently.

Using both together can be beneficial for boosting magnesium levels.

5. What is Magnesium Deficiency?

Magnesium deficiency can cause fatigue, muscle cramps, twitching, and even heart issues. Causes include poor diet, stress, caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods. It can also lead to low calcium and potassium levels.

6. How Do I Know If I Have a Magnesium Deficiency?

Since most magnesium is stored in tissues—not blood—it’s hard to detect via standard blood tests. Symptoms like weakness, tremors, and cramping may indicate low levels, but deficiency can exist without obvious symptoms.

7. How Can I Test My Magnesium Levels?

Ask your healthcare provider for an RBC Magnesium Test (Red Blood Cell test), which is more accurate than a standard serum test. An EXA test is another option that measures magnesium released from your cells.

8. Can I Use Magnesium With Other Supplements or Medications?

Usually yes, especially with topical magnesium which has few interactions. Still, it's best to consult your healthcare provider.
Using both oral and topical magnesium is typically fine, but loose bowel movements may indicate excess intake.

9. Who Shouldn’t Use Magnesium Products?

Those with renal impairment or severely low blood pressure should consult their healthcare provider before using magnesium.

10. Is It Safe During Pregnancy or Breastfeeding?

Yes, it's not only safe but recommended to support healthy magnesium levels.

11. My Spray or Pump Stopped Working—What Can I Do?

Sometimes natural crystallization can block the pump. Remove the pump, run it under warm water, and press the pump to clear the blockage. Always store at room temperature and use regularly to prevent clogs.

12. Can I Use Magnesium Products on Pets?

Yes, magnesium is safe for pets, especially in areas with thin fur (like the belly or inner legs). Always consult your vet first for peace of mind.

13. Can Magnesium Help With Sleep?

Yes, many customers report improved sleep.
