With the recent release of our new pure Magnesium Oil product we want to share why we love this powerful nutrient.
Magnesium – It the most powerful relaxation nutrient available as it is a both a muscle and Central Nervous System relaxant.

Many people are magnesium deficient without realising this one nutrient can have significant effect on the way you feel.

So, how do you know if you are Magnesium deficient?

If you have one or more of the following symptoms it is highly likely you are Magnesium deficient, and you may benefit from supplementing.
– Muscle spasms or cramps
– Tight upper traps/neck
– Teeth clenching
– Headaches
– Eye twitches
– Menstrual pain
– Anxiety, irritability or depression
– Palpitations
– Dark chocolate cravings
– Suffer from conditions like Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue or hypertension

Can you get Magnesium from food?

Yes, but it’s complicated.. Magnesium is found in a variety of foods such as;
– Sea vegetables/seaweed
– Nuts
– Greens (spinach, chards)
– Beans
– Dark chocolate
– Avocado
– Buckwheat, rye & millet

However, it is often poorly absorbed in the body. Firstly, Soil from conventional farms today are often depleted in Magnesium and processing methods often strip foods of magnesium.  

There are also many factors that decrease the absorption of magnesium from foods, such as;
– Excess alcohol, salt and coffee consumption
– Profuse sweating
– Chronic stress
– ‘Leaky gut’

Why we recommend topical/transdermal magnesium:

The A Life Magnesium Oil is pure in quality. Packaged in Melbourne in quality UV protected Glass, which keeps the product safe, long lasting and reusable. It’s also a great pocket size – that ensures you can take it with you wherever you go!

The biggest benefit of transdermal magnesium chloride (AKA rubbing mag oil on the skin) is that your digestive system is not impacted by the dose of Magnesium. This provides several important advantages over the traditional oral delivery, such as bypassing the liver, putting no additional pressure on the digestive system, and it allows the body to self regulate the dosage and absorb just as much as needed.
