Okay, we know this is a website for skincare and beauty, so why the Mineral Magnesium products?

Put simply, we are huge fans of Mineral Magnesium products and the benefits gained by administering magnesium transdermally, so that it gets into the blood system and isn’t kicked out as it passes through the kidneys. Healthy insides translate to healthy outside including your skin.

Magnesium is one of the six essential macro-minerals that comprise 99% of the body’s mineral content. Magnesium helps build bones, enables nerves to function, and is essential to the production of energy from food.

Magnesium has been shown to have therapeutic value in treating conditions such as headaches, chronic pain, asthma, and sleep disorders. And in a recent large-scale study, magnesium has been linked to a reduced incidence of conditions such as heart disease, hypertension and diabetes.

Magnesium is a nutrient that the body needs to stay healthy. Magnesium is important for many processes in the body, including regulating muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure and making protein, bone and DNA.

So, who really needs Magnesium?

Practically Everyone! Particularly those with muscle/joint pain, migraine, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, restless legs syndrome, chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, stress, heart disease, PMS, kidney stones, gout, insomnia, those who take calcium without magnesium, and those who exercise – particularly athletes.

Magnesium is the second most abundant element inside human cells and the fourth most abundant positively charged ion in the human body. Our bodies do not produce magnesium and it has all but disappeared from the soils and as such from our food chain.

Within the body’s cells, it serves literally hundreds of functions.

Magnesium Deficiency

Some common signs of magnesium deficiency are restless legs, cramps, muscle spasms, aching muscles, lack of energy, migraines, high blood pressure, arthritis, osteoporosis and anxiety, to name but a few.

But you can read a lot more on our magnesium web page.
