Magnesium deficiency:
Magnesium is one of the most overlooked nutrients, which can lead to deficiency.
Low intakes over extended periods of time can lead you to become deficient. Low levels can lead to fatigue, low mood, anxiety, eye tics, insomnia, high blood pressure and muscle cramps…. doesn’t sound fun to me! Applying a transdermal magnesium product can help provide on-the-go relief.
What is transdermal magnesium?
Transdermal means it is applied through the skin. The magnesium in BetterYou’s products travels down the hair follicles into the deeper layers of the skin, where it meets a network of blood vessels. The magnesium can then absorb into the bloodstream. Transdermal magnesium provides fast, effective method of remineralisation compared to other methods of supplementation. Pioneered by BetterYou over 12 years ago, there are a growing number of trials and studies showing the effectiveness of transdermal magnesium compared to tablet and capsule supplementation. Applied directly onto the skin, the magnesium is quickly absorbed, bypassing the digestive system where many nutrients, including magnesium, are poorly absorbed.
Review of Magnesium sleep mineral lotion:
It aims to naturally relax muscles to support a restful sleep. Magnesium chlorides helps to relax tired muscles whilst lavender and chamomile slows sensory activity and quietens the mind. Together promoting a restful night’s sleep. I found it smelt fresh with hints of linen and lemon and also very light to apply. You are guaranteed 150mg of magnesium per 5ml which is fantastic as it means you don’t need to lather it on. I’ve been using this for 4 weeks now, I apply it to my neck and arms, I am sleeping well, so no complaints! This might be because BetterYou uses a high-quality magnesium chloride from the Zechstein sea formed over 250 million years ago which is mined in Northern Holland. This pure source means it is free from man-made pollutants and heavy metals.
Review of Magnesium oil pure mineral spray:
The oil spray aims to support natural muscle recovery and relaxation. Dr Norman Shealy from Greenwich University says transdermal magnesium is the ultimate way to replenish magnesium levels as every cell in the body bathes and feeds in it. The product guarantees 200mg per 10 sprays. I found the oil light and not greasy. The oil commences absorption immediately when massaged into the skin. This essential mineral helps to promote overall wellbeing and relaxation.
Review of Magnesium body butter:
This contains 15% magnesium oil, nourishing shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil and vitamin E. It was thick, creamy and so moisturising – it was my favourite product! I have quite dry skin, and this was just a treat, this product is perfect for all skin types. The fast-absorbing formula in Magnesium Skin Body Butter has been designed to lock in moisture whilst leaving your skin feeling supple, soft and beautifully moisturised. This pioneering delivery method is easy to use for anyone of any age and perfect for someone who doesn’t like swallowing tablets.
Review of Magnesium flakes:
An aid to skin and bone health and relief from muscle stiffness and cramping. This was a super nice bath and my muscles definitely felt more relaxed afterwards. I love this gentle and effective method of supplementation. I love BetterYou’s range as they are vegan, free from parabens, synthetic fragrance and colour.
