Magnesium sprays: What They Are & How to Use Them

In this guide

What are magnesium sprays?

The magnesium oil used in magnesium sprays is a concentration of magnesium chloride, sourced from 1,600 metres below the seabed. This provides a pure and natural solution that is free from man-made pollutants.

Magnesium sprays are a quick and effective way to replenish your magnesium levels. Designed to be taken on the move, they come in a number of varieties and can be used for relaxation and muscle relief among many other applications.

How do they work?

BetterYou’s are designed to be sprayed directly on to the skin, where the magnesium immediately begins to absorb. This is known as transdermal absorption. Our sprays are made with the purest form of magnesium, known as Zechstein magnesium, for optimal absorption.

This is incredibly effective as the magnesium goes straight through to your blood vessels and muscles rather than having to be absorbed by your digestive system.

For more information on transdermal magnesium, see our transdermal magnesium information page.

FAQs

How much magnesium spray is too much?

There isn’t an upper limit for transdermal magnesium products. The only risks come when you take magnesium in the form of tablets, as large doses can have a laxative effect. Toxic symptoms from excess magnesium are rare because the body naturally gets rid of any magnesium it doesn’t need.

Where on my body should I spray magnesium?

You can use magnesium spray all over the body. If you are using our Joint or Recovery sprays, apply them to the areas that feel sore. Avoid spraying on broken skin, near the eyes or around any sensitive areas.

Why does magnesium spray itch and sting?

A slight itching or tingling feeling is most likely an indicator that your body has a magnesium deficiency. This sensation will pass the more you use the spray, as your body increases its magnesium intake.

You can initially soothe the sensation by towelling your skin after massaging in the magnesium.
