The Science Behind Magnesium Sprays

by Georgia Bogert on Oct 27, 2024
The Science Behind Magnesium Sprays

Magnesium is a powerful mineral, essential for our bodies to function properly, but most of us don’t get enough through diet alone. That’s where magnesium spray comes in.

Easy to use and quickly absorbed, it offers a range of health benefits, from reducing stress to improving skin health.

What is Magnesium?

Magnesium is a vital mineral that was first isolated 200 years ago, and it’s now more important than ever. M agnesium supports:

  • Nerve and muscle function
  • Bone health
  • Blood sugar levels and blood pressure
  • Immune system strength
  • Heartbeat regulation

It literally keeps our hearts beating, but our bodies can’t produce it on their own, so we have to get it in other ways.

Generally, doctors recommend that women should get 310 to 320 milligrams of magnesium per day, while men need 400 to 420. According to studies in the US, 50% of adults don’t get enough magnesium through their diets alone.

Ideally, magnesium is absorbed by our body through fruits, vegetables, and other, fiber-rich foods. The fact is, most of us won’t reach our daily recommended values without help.

Magnesium sprays and other supplements can be used to ensure that you’re giving your body sufficient amounts daily.

The Science Behind Magnesium Spray: Why & How does it Work?

Magnesium sprays, especially those made with magnesium chloride (like our Rest Easy Magnesium Spray), are easily absorbed by the skin, allowing the mineral to enter the bloodstream. This supports over 300 biochemical processes in the body, providing a wide array of health benefits.

Health Benefits of Magnesium Spray

Promotes Relaxation & Reduces Stress

Magnesium helps relax blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and reducing stress. It also regulates neurotransmitters that prepare the brain for sleep, promoting better rest.

Bonus: Magnesium helps balance hormones like cortisol (the stress hormone), potentially reducing acne flare-ups caused by stress.

Supports Muscle Recovery

Magnesium blocks pain receptors, which can reduce post-workout soreness. Spraying it on muscles after exercise may help delay or lessen the feeling of discomfort.

Prevents Migraines & Headaches

Magnesium’s ability to block pain receptors and relax blood vessels makes it effective in preventing and reducing the severity of migraines and headaches.

Improves Skin Health

Magnesium helps promote a healthy level of fatty acid on the surface of our skin, and regulates or collagen levels. If we don’t have enough magnesium in our body, our skin can end up uneven, drier, and more susceptible to wrinkles.

Magnesium supports healthy fatty acid levels on the skin’s surface, which maintains hydration and elasticity. It also promotes collagen production and cellular regeneration, helping skin recover from environmental stressors.

How to Make The Most of Magnesium Spray

It’s best to apply magnesium spray directly to the skin, especially to target specific areas of pain, soreness, or discomfort. We love to apply Rest Easy magnesium spray to our feet right after a bath or shower (usually as a part of a bedtime ritual). This is when your skin is clear of oil, sweat, or other skincare products, and primed to absorb the magnesium efficiently.

Some people experience a tingling or itching sensation after applying magnesium oil—this is a common, harmless effect and should go away after a few uses.

Pro Tip: If you have sensitive skin (or just want to feel good), try misting your bath with magnesium spray to sooth aching muscles, joint pain, or period cramps.

Magnesium in Your Wellness Routine

While a balanced diet is the best way to meet your magnesium needs, magnesium sprays provide a convenient, effective solution. They help ensure you’re getting enough of this essential mineral to support overall health and wellness.

Check it out our Rest Easy Magnesium Spray to see what the hype is all about.
