Magnesium is one of those minerals that really deserves your attention. It’s essential for more than 300 reactions in your body, helping with everything from muscle relaxation and nerve function to heart health and energy. It helps your muscles relax, supports better sleep, and can make a real difference to how you feel day-to-day.

The problem is, most of us don't get enough magnesium through diet alone. Modern farming has depleted minerals from the soil, so it's harder to get what we need from food. You can read more about it here.

"Magnesium oil" is really just magnesium chloride dissolved in water, but it feels slightly oily (even though it's not an oil!). It's a way to get magnesium into your body by applying it directly to your skin, which bypasses the digestive system.

This is a great question! When you take oral magnesium (like a pill), large doses can have a laxative effect because it's a natural relaxant.

That's the main benefit of topical magnesium. Your body just absorbs what it needs through the skin, so you don't have to worry about overdoing it or upsetting your stomach. We bust a few other myths here.

Here’s the thing: pills and topical sprays both do the same job (boost your levels), but they take very different routes.

Oral Magnesium
When you swallow magnesium, it has to go on a long journey through your whole digestive system. This works, but it can be slow and for many people, it causes digestive discomfort.

Topical Magnesium
Topical magnesium skips the digestive system. You apply it to your skin, it absorbs directly into your muscles right where you need it, and you often feel the effect much faster. We wrote a whole blog about it.

Over time, low magnesium can affect your bones, sleep, and energy levels. It can make you feel nervous, and even affect your heart health. It can also lead to low levels of other important minerals.

Some contributing factors include our modern diet (refined foods), stress, and even drinking alcohol or coffee, all of which can deplete your body's magnesium stores.

It's tricky, because 99% of your body's magnesium is stored in your bones and muscles, not your blood. That means a blood test is unlikely to give you the full picture.

It's often easier to look for the common signs: tired muscles, restless nights, that 'foggy' feeling, or annoying cramps and twitches. Here are 12 signs you might need more magnesium.

Yes, our simple magnesium sprays (like the Sensitive Spray) are safe to use on pets. We recommend applying it to an area where the fur is thin, like the inside of their legs or on their stomach. As always, if you're not sure, it's best to have a quick chat with your vet.

Many of our customers find it really helps them wind down. If you've been tossing and turning, you're not alone. Insomnia can have many causes, but magnesium helps relax muscles and calm the nervous system. We'd recommend our Magnesium Sleep Lotion or Magnesium Sleep Flakes if you prefer a bath. Here's how it helps your body switch off.

If you have sensitive skin or if you're trying magnesium oil for the first time, we would recommend our Magnesium Sensitive Spray. It's gentler while your skin adjusts.

Nope! Our magnesium products are designed to absorb quickly without leaving a sticky or salty residue. You can just apply them and get on with your day (or night).

That tingling sensation catches a lot of people off guard, but don't worry, it's completely normal.

When your magnesium levels are low, your skin can be more sensitive to topical magnesium. The tingling usually means your body is absorbing it quickly because it really needs it.

The good news? Most people find it lessens within a week or two. In the meantime, try these tricks: apply it to damp skin right after a shower, or smooth on a light moisturiser first. We explain the tingle in detail here.

If you have kidney impairment or have been diagnosed with very low blood pressure, it's always best to check with your health professional before using any new magnesium product.

Our products are generally very well tolerated, but if you're ever unsure, a quick chat with your doctor is the best way to go.

We completely understand wanting to be extra careful right now.

Topical magnesium is generally considered safe during pregnancy (many midwives recommend it for leg cramps!).

However, everyone's pregnancy is different, and we're not medical professionals. We'd always recommend having a quick chat with your GP or midwife first, just to make sure it's right for you. (And congratulations!)

We're so sorry about that! Because our products are made with highly concentrated natural minerals, crystallisation can sometimes happen in the pump, especially if it hasn't been used in a while.

There's usually an easy fix: remove the pump from the bottle, run it under a warm tap for a few minutes, and press down on the pump head several times to flush it out.

If that doesn’t work, please contact hello@amazingyou.com for further assistance.
