Why magnesium is important for your everyday vitality

Magnesium is essential to your body, it is one of the 24 essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs. You do not produce magnesium naturally and therefore your body is reliant outside sources to replenish your magnesium stores. Magnesium deficiency is common and it can result in muscle pains and fatigue as well as contributing to higher than normal stress levels.

Why is magnesium important

Magnesium activates the ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) – the currency of cellular energy. Magnesium is a potent vasodilator meaning that it can be used as a muscle relaxant. It causes calcium to go out into the tissues and bones keeping them healthy. It does so much more than maintaining your muscles and bones it is able to relax and balance the nervous system which in turn reduces your stress levels.

It also contributes to balancing out your hormones and supports your immune system.

What are the sources of magnesium

Magnesium-rich foods include:

• Dark leafy greens
• Seeds and nuts, including sunflower and sesame seeds, cashews and almonds
• Squash, broccoli, and other vegetables
• Legumes
• Dairy products
• Meat
• Unprocessed whole grains
• Chocolate
• Coffee

Magnesium supplements for muscle pain and repair

The skin is the largest organ of the body, covering about 1.8 m² and comprising approximately 10% of the total body mass of an average person. By spraying magnesium onto your skin  the supplement is rapidly absorbed through the skin to a cellular level and delivers real magnesium supplies to where they are needed. This allows your muscles to repair and delivers calcium deposits to where they are needed without needing to go through your digestive system.

These are only a few reasons why we use our Magnesium Spray after exercise or with our OUCH! Pain Relief cream to help alleviate aches and pains.
