Magnesium Spray: Counting the Many Benefits of Magnesium

Magnesium is an essential mineral that is necessary for optimal heart health, muscle health, and even bone and nervous system health.

It is readily available through a wide range of foods, including but not limited to pumpkin seeds, brown rice, spinach, cashews, soy milk, peanut butter, and even salmon.

Despite this, many people are alarmingly magnesium deficient. According to at least one study, up to 20% of the general population consumes less than 67% of the recommended dietary allowance for magnesium. Other published figures suggest that rates of hypomagnesemia (low magnesium levels) range anywhere between 2-15% of the general population.

Compounding the issue, not absorbing enough magnesium from the diet alone can result in a wide range of adverse health effects.

That’s why we’ve formulated our unique magnesium spray, which is rich in highly bioavailable magnesium chloride and is easily absorbed through the skin for maximum macro-mineral utilization.

Here’s what you need to know about magnesium and wellness, and how this magnesium spray may be able to help.

Magnesium and Bone Health

Magnesium intake is believed to be directly related to overall bone health, and may help promote a healthier bone density, specifically in the neck, hips, and femur.

Magnesium has been demonstrated to play a crucial role as a cofactor necessary for the enzymes required to synthesize bone matrix. It also supports bone formation by stimulating the production and proliferation of osteoblasts, the cells that form new bones and help heal existing bones.

Magnesium has also been directly linked to an increase in bone density, specifically in aging adults, and as a result, magnesium therapy has been demonstrated to reduce the risk of fractures.

This critical element may also suppose other areas of the musculoskeletal system - specifically joints. Magnesium has been shown to have an inverse relationship with radiographic knee osteoarthritis and joint space narrowing - that is, a higher level of magnesium reduces the presence of these ailments.

Magnesium and Heart Health

Among the most commonly-cited benefits of magnesium therapy have to be its potential positive effects on heart health.

It is true that magnesium plays a central role in the overall health of the cardiovascular system by helping to maintain cell membrane potential, mitochondrial function, and antioxidant pathways.

But, on top of this, and more generally, higher levels of magnesium are also associated on average with lower risks of cardiovascular diseases, as well as with lower levels of precursor complications like diabetes and hypertension.

In addition to supporting overall heart health, magnesium has been demonstrated to help prevent cardiac arrhythmias, and it also shows potential in helping to regulate blood pressure.

Magnesium and Muscle Health

Magnesium is a natural calcium blocker, so it is able to help your muscles relax after contractions (both voluntary and involuntary) which in turn helps to relieve the discomfort associated with muscle spasms.

Magnesium may offer additional muscular benefits, especially to athletes. It has been shown to reduce post-performance muscle soreness, potentially speeding up recovery times after the exertion of training or competition. On the flipside, low levels of magnesium produce a higher risk of soreness and muscle injury.

Magnesium and Immune Health

Not only does magnesium support overall immune health and function while also regulating inflammation, but low levels of magnesium are also implicated in immune dysfunction.

Moreover, there are multiple ways in which magnesium benefits immune function. For one, it is a cofactor in immunoglobulin synthesis (immunoglobulins are antibodies produced by plasma cells that help destroy pathogens in the body).

Magnesium is also implicated in T-helper-B cell adherence (the process by which T-helper-B cells bind to antigens and deactivate them), as well as in healthy macrophage response, and antibody-dependent cytolysis.

In short, healthy levels of magnesium in the blood directly support a healthy immune response and overall immune function.

They say “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Perhaps we should change that to “a magnesium spray keeps the doctor away!”

Magnesium and Cellular Turnover

On top of all of the amazing benefits (and the crucial roles that magnesium plays in the body’s major systems), it also helps to promote cell turnover, which may be able to boost healing times.

Studies suggest that magnesium directly stimulates cellular proliferation (which reduces healing times) while stimulating DNA and protein synthesis which are necessary for those processes to occur.

In fact, and even more amazingly, healthy levels of magnesium intake may also help the body break down scar tissue, minimizing the appearance of scars.
