Why Your Body’s Probably Craving Magnesium
If you’ve ever caught yourself rubbing your temples, clenching your jaw, or waking up at 3 a.m. with a racing mind and twitchy leg — you might be low on magnesium. And you wouldn’t be alone.
An estimated 50–80% of people are magnesium deficient, and most don’t even know it. That’s why we created our topical magnesium spray — because sometimes your body needs a shortcut, and your skin is a great place to start.
What Is Magnesium, and Why Do We Need It?
Magnesium is a critical mineral involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It plays a major role in:
- Muscle function & relaxation
- Nerve signaling
- Sleep regulation
- Stress response (hello, cortisol)
- Heart rhythm & blood pressure
- Energy production
When your magnesium levels drop, things get tense—literally. You may feel tight, twitchy, anxious, restless, irritable, or just plain tired but wired.
According to the NIH, many adults don’t get enough magnesium — especially if you're dealing with stress, caffeine, alcohol, or processed foods.
Types of Magnesium (And What They’re Best For)
There are several forms of magnesium, and they all do different things. Here’s a handy breakdown:
- Magnesium Glycinate – Gentle and calming; great for sleep and anxiety
- Magnesium Citrate – Promotes regularity and supports digestion
- Magnesium Malate – Often used for muscle fatigue and energy production
- Magnesium Threonate – Supports memory, learning, and brain health
- Magnesium Oxide – A cheap form, often used as a laxative, but poorly absorbed
- Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt) – Great for soaking sore muscles in a bath
- Magnesium Chloride – Best absorbed through the skin — this is what we use in our magnesium mist
Why We Use It Topically
While oral magnesium supplements work for some, they can also upset the stomach or be poorly absorbed. That’s why trans-dermal (topical) magnesium has become a go-to for many people.
- When applied to the skin, magnesium:
- Absorbs directly into the bloodstream
- Bypasses the digestive tract
- Targets sore muscles and tension fast
- May improve sleep when used before bed
A clinical review even found that trans-dermal magnesium may improve magnesium levels and relieve pain. [PubMed Source]

Magnesium Spray FAQ
Can kids use it? Yes! Many parents spray it on their kids’ legs before bed to ease growing pains. For very sensitive skin, we suggest diluting with a bit of distilled water.
Does it sting? Some people may feel a slight tingling or stinging at first — especially if they’re magnesium deficient or applying to freshly shaved skin. This sensation usually fades over time.
How often can I use it? You can use magnesium spray daily — even multiple times a day if needed. Many people spray it on in the morning for energy and again before bed for sleep support.
Can I add scent to it? Absolutely. While our formula is scent-free by design, you’re welcome to add a few drops of your favorite essential oils to make it your own. Just be sure to shake before each use.
