If you’re taking magnesium tablets or powders, it can honestly take weeks or even months for your levels to budge enough for you to feel a difference. Our gel is a bit of a shortcut. Most people in our community feel that "sigh of relief" on night one, though for some, it might take a few nights to really kick in. If you're worried about whether it's right for you, rest assured we provide a 30-night satisfaction guarantee so you can give it a proper go.

If you're new to using magnesium on your skin, you might notice a little tingle when you first rub it in. Don't worry, it's a completely normal part of the process and usually fades after a few days once your body starts to top up its levels. If it feels a bit much at first, you can always try applying it to damp skin to make it a little more gentle.

Actually, why not both? We love pairing the gel with our Magnesium Glycinate nightly drink. It’s the ultimate way to cover all the senses (touch, taste, and smell). As you're sipping your way to sweet dreams and breathing in that beautiful ylang-ylang and lemon balm, try putting your phone away and dimming the lights. We also recommend dropping the AC down a little (sorry about the power bills!) to help your body temperature fall. It’s all about creating your own perfect sleep routine.

Focus on your calves, the tops of your feet, and your lower back. Rubbing it into your lower back is a clever move because it targets the sciatic nerve, which is the longest nerve in your body. It helps your whole system settle down. Whatever you do, skip the bottoms of your feet. It’s a bit of a myth that it’s the best spot for absorption, and honestly, it just ruins my good sheets when I try. Stick to the tops of your feet and your legs for the best results.

Speaking of sheets, we're sticklers for good bedding too. We made sure this isn't a heavy, sticky oil. It's a lightweight lotion that sinks in quickly. The secret is that a little really does go a long way, so you don't need to lather it on like a thick body butter. Just a small amount rubbed in well will do the trick. Give it a minute or two to dry while you finish your bedtime routine and you'll be safe to hop straight into bed.

This is one of the best things about topical magnesium. Because it doesn't have to be processed by your stomach, it shouldn't cause any of those "bathroom emergencies" or "gut drama" that pills often do. It's a much kinder way to get your daily magnesium fix without the digestive upset. It's a total win for anyone with a sensitive gut.

It's safe for all ages, from the tiny humans to the grandparents. We actually started out making these for our own families on the Sunshine Coast, so we kept the ingredients very gentle. For the little ones, we always recommend doing a pea-sized small patch test first on their leg, especially if they're too young to tell you how it feels. Since every pregnancy is unique, it's always a smart move for mums-to-be to have a quick chat with their midwife or GP before starting a new routine.

You sure can. Many people in our community use both. Think of your oral supplement (like our nightly glycinate drink) as your "baseline" and the gel as your targeted "rescue" for when you need extra help with sleep or tight muscles. Your body is pretty smart at only taking what it needs when you apply it to your skin, so it’s a great way to top up those levels on the days you need it most.
