An essential mineral and cofactor in over 300 biochemical processes, magnesium supports the health of nearly every system in the human body. Magnesium helps maintain heart rhythm and blood pressure balance, builds strong bones, promotes nervous system and muscle health, and is essential to energy production. Every cell in your body needs magnesium to thrive, and without enough, your health will inevitably suffer. Yet because its symptoms are often attributed to other causes, magnesium deficiency often goes unrecognized. 

Magnesium is found in unprocessed foods like leafy greens, whole grains, nuts and seeds, as well as in mineral-rich water. But it’s increasingly difficult to get enough magnesium from dietary sources—even if you eat a primarily whole foods diet—due to mineral depletion in our soils and drinking water. On top of this, our lifestyles abundant in stress, sugar, caffeine and excess calcium all work to deplete magnesium at a rapid pace, leaving many of us in a state of deficiency and less-than-optimal health.

Replenishing depleted magnesium levels is not as simple as taking a supplement, because magnesium can be difficult to absorb through the digestive tract. The solution? Topical magnesium, which restores magnesium at the cellular level by utilizing your body's largest, most efficient organ of absorption—your skin. Ancient Minerals® offers a wide range of ultra-pure topical magnesium solutions, including lotions, highly-concentrated magnesium oils, bath salts and gels.
