Product Information

The Seven Minerals magnesium cream has anti-aging benefits as well as the overall benefits of a magnesium transdermal product. Founder of the American Holistic Medical Association, Dr. Shealy, has warned that the soil in every country in the world except Egypt has been farmed to the point of magnesium depletion; mainly due to inadequate crop rotation and use of pesticides. Too Much Calcium Magnesium Lotion is applied more lightly, and both moisturises your skin and provides excellent levels of magnesium. Just 5ml delivers 150mg (43% RDA) of elemental magnesium.

Many men and women get magnesium through nourishment. Magnesium is added to foods such as bread, even though it naturally occurs in foods such as almonds, fish, poultry, meat, and avocados. You are able to get magnesium by choosing dietary supplements along with some medicines, such as antacids and laxatives. Magnesium L-threonate is a salt that you can easily absorb, and in animal studies it is best for increasing the magnesium in your brain. For that reason, it may be helpful for memory loss and depression. Magnesium sulfates are rapidly excreted through the kidneys, and so you require more magnesium sulfate than magnesium chloride to achieve the same effects. This rapid metabolization also explains why the effects of applying this lotion last much longer than those from an Epsom salt bath.Magnesium citrate is one of the most common types of this supplement. It’s also one of the most bioavailable forms, which means that your digestive system can absorb it most easily. Magnesium citrate also has a laxative effect, so sometimes it’s used to relieve constipation. This type of magnesium supplement is also often marketed as a way to help symptoms of anxiety and depression. Magnesium Body Butter is perfect when you need a more intensive moisturiser but with all the benefits of magnesium. Ingredients such as cocoa butter help to form a protective barrier on the skin. The ingredients are also helpful during the winter months, when the skin is prone to chapping. Notably, the concentrations explored in this study were only low level atmospheric concentrations, compared with the much higher concentrations typically employed in therapeutic applications of topical magnesium oil. Allow the lotion to stay on your skin for at least 20 to 30 minutes (although longer is fine) as transdermal magnesium requires this length of time for absorption.

Magnesium taurate includes an amino acid—taurine. This type of magnesium supplement seems to be especially helpful in regulating blood sugar and blood pressure. But did you know just how poor some magnesium supplements really are? Certain forms of the supplement, like magnesium oxide, have been shown to have an absorbable magnesium potency as low as 4%!Documented research on the effect topically applied magnesium chloride has on blood chemistry includes the work of Dr. Norman Shealy, M.D. Ph.D. Founder of the American Holistic Medical Association, Dr Shealy enlisted sixteen individuals with low intracellular magnesium levels. The use of a magnesium supplement, particularly when paired with B-6 may help with symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). While the skin does act as a barrier, it is not a complete barrier. Many chemicals do penetrate the skin, either intentionally or unintentionally, and cutaneous metabolism does occur. Because of its large surface area, the skin may be a major route of entry into the body in some exposure situations.”
