Magnesium Body Butter (Made to Order) (Please provide 5-7 business days)
WHY DO WE NEED MAGNESIUM?
But really, 200 million Americans are deficient in magnesium. And it really can cause some annoying problems and possible health risks. I’m not all drama over here; I have some facts, too 😉
Many factors in our culture today contribute to low magnesium levels, such as mineral-depleted soils, poor diet, perpetual exposure to synthetic chemicals, and chronic stress levels.
Even fluoride in our water can bind with magnesium, creating an almost indissolvable mineral compound that deposits in our bones, making them more brittle and easy to fracture.
Every cell in our body needs a proper amount of magnesium, or they will die. We must have healthy teeth and bones for our heart and brain (the two organs that are especially vulnerable to magnesium deficiency). Adequate magnesium levels create balanced hormones and a healthy cardiovascular and nervous system.
Proper magnesium levels are also important for our cells to use calcium correctly. A deficiency can lead to dangerous calcium imbalances that can cause heart problems, migraines, muscle cramps, and even kidney stones. Magnesium can bind to calcium and help it flush out of your body instead of allowing it to build up and create kidney stones. It can reverse kidney stone formation, treat asthma, help your body absorb vitamin D, protect you from radiation, and do many other amazing things!!
It’s just so interesting to me to learn how different minerals affect each other and your body!
WHY A BODY BUTTER?
You probably know that there are many different capsules and powdered magnesium products out there. So why would I make this into a lotion? Isn’t that just extra work?
No! Magnesium can have a laxative effect when taken orally, making an oral supplement unpleasant and ineffective. Dr. Norm Shealy, MD, says, “Magnesium needs to travel through the intestinal system slowly, so if the gut transit time is less than twelve hours, one is not likely to absorb the magnesium well.” In fact, oral magnesium has been shown to be only 35-40% effective! Which is why it is actually best to use a transdermal magnesium supplement.
Magnesium oil is readily absorbed through the skin because it is a super-concentrated form of magnesium chloride. When magnesium chloride is applied topically, the body self-regulates, absorbing only what it needs, counteracting the risks of excess supplementation, mineral imbalance, and GI upset.
**Many of the allergic responses to magnesium seem to be a result of simply getting too much magnesium at once. In essence, it’s your body’s way of saying, “Whoa, slow down!”. I would liken it to feeding someone suffering from starvation – despite the fact that the body needs food to survive, pushing too much and/or the wrong types of food onto a sensitive digestive system can be extremely harmful and even fatal. The same consideration should be made when dealing with a sensitivity to magnesium.
If you are experiencing a mild allergic reaction to magnesium, consider using smaller, milder dosages, trying different types of compounds, and slowly building up your internal magnesium stores. I recommend you go with Magnesium butter, as it is less concentrated than magnesium spray.
**IF YOU LIVE IN A HOT AND HUMID CLIMATE OR KEEP YOUR HOME ABOVE 75 DEGREES, KEEP THIS REFRIGERATED BECAUSE IT WILL MELT
