Your Guide to Magnesium Products

With the exhausting nature of everyday life, parenting and work stresses, fatigue and physical exhaustion can creep up on us and start wearing us down. Keeping your body's vitamin and mineral levels at healthy amounts is essential to maintaining general health and wellbeing. Magnesium is an essential macro-mineral, needed in almost all body tissue as well as the nerves.¹ But many of us may not be getting anywhere near enough Magnesium from our diets alone.

Benefits of Magnesium

Magnesium is found in many leafy green vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds, but is not always easily or properly absorbed by the body, especially by those with a high fat diet.¹ Taken as a supplement or applied topically, Magnesium can provide a range of benefits for physical function and mental stamina. According to Amazing Oils, Magnesium can help provide a boost of energy as well as help us relax for a good night sleep. Their Magnesium Pro magnesium spray uses pharmaceutical grade Magnesium Chloride to help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines and tension headaches as well as well as mild muscle cramping where dietary magnesium is insufficient. This oil can also be applied on the back of the neck or used daily on the body. ²

Always read the label. If symptoms persist see your healthcare practitioner. Vitamin supplements should not replace a balanced diet.

Is Magnesium safe for kids?

According to Elektra Magnesium, kids can greatly benefit from Magnesium baths and topical creams. Magnesium is actually an essential element of kids' and a warm magnesium bath offers a relaxing way for kids to enjoy Magnesium. It's also very soft on sensitive skin this way. Half a cup of Magnesium Salt Flakes added to the bath can promote calm before bedtime and help your children get a good night's sleep.³
