Our need for magnesium has never been greater. Just as our diet has been formed (the ratio of calcium to magnesium in modern diets is 20:1 whereas it should be 1:1 to 2:1) and our lifestyle, we are led to a very low intake of magnesium. Magnesium activates more than 300 enzymes in the body and is involved in a range of processes, including proper utilization of calcium, smooth muscle function, recovery after exercise, promotion of bone health as well as skin health.
Transdermal Magnesium Absorption
The magnesium used in the Better You Magnesium Body Lotion is in the form of 'hexahydrate magnesium chloride', which is extremely absorbable by the skin and is the most soluble form of all magnesium compounds.
It is also fully ionized, allowing for optimal absorption through the skin. As shown in studies at the Cardiff University School of Pharmacy, its absorption is steady and actually increases over time. The amount of magnesium that can be easily used by the tissues is calculated based on how soluble the magnesium compound is as well as the amount of ionic magnesium released. The Better You Magnesium Body Lotion contains fully ionized magnesium. Every 5 ml (4 sprays) lotion gives 150 mg of directly absorbable magnesium.
Note that the Better You Transdermal Magnesium has no relation to products containing magnesium sulfate which may be absorbed by the skin but are not retained adequately by our body, failing to contribute to the essential restoration of magnesium levels.
The great benefit of using the Better You Transdermal Magnesium products is that they replenish the loss of magnesium observed during exercise and the deficiency due to modern lifestyle and diet, while also relieving sore muscles and eliminating cramps.
Products ideal for daily use.
They do not affect the functioning of the digestive system like magnesium supplements.
Avoid application to sensitive areas.
