What is Magnesium?
Magnesium might be a small mineral, but it plays a BIG role in the human body. It is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of biochemical reactions, supporting everything from normal muscle and nerve function to energy production, bone health and electrolyte balance. In other words, your body needs magnesium every single day.
At MagneCo, we believe looking after your body doesn’t need to be complicated. Magnesium can become part of those small, consistent moments of self-care ...whether that’s after a big day on your feet, following exercise, during your evening wind-down or as part of your everyday routine.
SIMPLE. CONSISTENT. EVERYDAY MAGNESIUM.
Why is Magnesium So Important?
Magnesium works behind the scenes across many different systems in your body. It contributes to:
MUSCLE FUNCTION
Magnesium plays an important role in normal muscle contraction and relaxation. NERVOUS SYSTEM FUNCTION It supports normal nerve signalling and communication throughout the body.
ENERGY PRODUCTION
Magnesium is involved in processes your body uses to convert food into energy.
ELECTROLYTE BALANCE
It works alongside other electrolytes, including calcium and potassium.
BONE HEALTH
A significant amount of the magnesium in your body is stored within your bones.
NORMAL CELL FUNCTION
Magnesium is required for numerous enzymes and biochemical reactions throughout the body. It’s one of those nutrients we don’t always think about , until we begin learning just how much our bodies actually use it for.
Are You Getting Enough Magnesium?
Magnesium occurs naturally in a range of foods, and a balanced diet should always be the foundation of meeting your nutritional needs. However, individual magnesium requirements and intake can vary. Factors such as diet, age, certain medications, gastrointestinal conditions and other health factors can influence magnesium intake or status. That’s why understanding your body and knowing where magnesium comes from is so important.
What Are The Signs Of Magnesium Deficiency?
A true magnesium deficiency can present differently from person to person, and symptoms aren’t always specific to magnesium.
EARLY SIGNS MAY INCLUDE:
• Loss of appetite, nausea , fatigue and weakness .
If magnesium deficiency becomes more significant, symptoms can potentially include:
• Muscle cramps or spasms , tingling or numbness, a changes to heart rhythm , muscle contractions, in severe cases; seizures .
IMPORTANT: Experiencing one of these symptoms does not automatically mean you’re deficient in magnesium. Many of these symptoms can have other causes. If you’re experiencing persistent symptoms or are concerned about your magnesium levels, speak with your doctor or qualified healthcare professional.
Magnesium & Your Long Term Health
Magnesium isn’t only about what happens after a workout or at the end of a busy day. It’s an ESSENTIAL MINERAL your body needs throughout your lifetime. Adequate magnesium intake contributes to normal muscle and nerve function, healthy bones and normal metabolic processes. Research has also explored relationships between magnesium intake and a range of chronic health conditions — another reason why meeting your nutritional requirements through a balanced diet matters. Think of magnesium as one piece of the bigger wellbeing puzzle.
MOVEMENT. NOURISHMENT.
RECOVERY. REST. CONSISTENCY.
They all work together.
What Foods are High In Magnesium?
Before we talk topical magnesium, let’s talk FOOD.
A varied, nutrient-rich diet can provide magnesium naturally.
NUTS & SEEDS
Pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, almonds and cashews are great sources of magnesium and are easy to incorporate into meals or snacks.
DARK LEAFY GREENS
Spinach and other leafy green vegetables contain magnesium alongside a variety of other nutrients. LEGUMES Beans, lentils and other legumes can contribute to your daily magnesium intake.
WHOLE GRAINS
Wholegrain foods can also provide useful amounts of magnesium.
OTHER SOURCES
Magnesium can also be found in foods such as avocado and some dark chocolate. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s about creating a diet that gives your body a broad range of the nutrients it needs.
How Much Magnesium Do You Need Each Day?
Your magnesium requirements depend on your age, sex and life stage.
As a general guide, adult requirements are around:
MEN: approximately 400–420 mg per day .
WOMEN: approximately 310–320 mg per day
Requirements can differ during pregnancy and at different stages of life. Remember: these figures refer to your overall nutritional magnesium requirements , they aren’t instructions for how much topical magnesium to apply. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, managing a health condition or concerned about deficiency, speak with your healthcare professional about what’s appropriate for you.
What About Topical Magnesium?
This is where we LOVE making magnesium simple. Topical magnesium is magnesium applied directly to the skin rather than swallowed as an oral supplement. At MagneCo, we use magnesium chloride across our topical range, with different application options designed to make magnesium easy to incorporate into everyday routines.
You might reach for your magnesium: BEFORE MOVEMENT As part of preparing your body for the day ahead. AFTER MOVEMENT Massage it into the areas you’ve been working. AFTER A LONG DAY Make application part of your evening self-care routine. BEFORE BED Create a consistent wind-down ritual that signals it’s time to slow things down. While many people enjoy topical magnesium and make it part of their wellness routine, research into how much magnesium is absorbed through intact skin is still developing. Topical magnesium shouldn’t be considered a replacement for adequate dietary magnesium or medical treatment for a diagnosed deficiency.
