Your Body Runs on Magnesium — Here's Why
Here's the deal — magnesium powers over 300 processes in your body. It keeps your heart steady, muscles loose, and nerves calm. From regulating your heartbeat to building strong bones, from producing energy in every cell to synthesizing the proteins that keep you thriving — magnesium is the unsung hero working behind the scenes.
The problem? Most folks just don't get enough from diet alone. Even if you're eating well, factors like stress, caffeine consumption, and modern agricultural practices can leave you depleted. That's where a topical magnesium spray comes in — quick, easy, and it goes right where your body needs it most.
Think of magnesium as your body's relaxation mineral. When you're running low, everything from muscle tension to racing thoughts can feel amplified. Check out Liz's Magnesium Spray to support your body's natural balance.
The Science of Calm — Made Simple
When stress hits, your body burns through magnesium faster than a campfire through kindling. Here's what's happening: Magnesium controls neurotransmitters — those little chemical signals that help your brain switch from "go mode" to "rest mode." It's like the dimmer switch for your nervous system.
Low levels mean tight muscles, racing thoughts, and restless nights. Your body wants to relax, but without enough magnesium, it's stuck in overdrive. This mineral helps regulate GABA, the neurotransmitter responsible for calming neural activity. It also blocks the binding of more stimulating molecules, creating a natural sense of tranquility.
Replenishing magnesium supports your body's natural calm so you can rest deeper and recover faster. Think of it as giving your nervous system the tools it needs to do what it does best — finding balance and peace.
Topical Magnesium: The Smarter Way to Absorb
Traditional Oral Supplements
Most oral supplements take time to digest — traveling through your stomach, into your intestines, and finally entering your bloodstream. The catch? Not all of that magnesium gets absorbed. In fact, many people experience digestive discomfort or find that much of the mineral passes right through without being utilized.
Factors like gut health, other medications, and the specific form of magnesium all affect how much your body can actually use. It's not a bad option, but it's not always the most efficient one.
Direct Topical Absorption
A topical spray skips digestion altogether, going straight through your skin to where it's needed. Your skin is surprisingly permeable to magnesium chloride, allowing it to enter your bloodstream and reach muscles and tissues directly.
It's fast, effective, and doesn't upset your stomach. You spray it where you feel tension, and within minutes, many people report feeling that tight knot begin to ease. It's targeted relief that works with your body's natural absorption pathways.

Did You Know?

Up to 70% of adults don't get enough magnesium daily
Even when they eat well, most Americans fall short of the recommended daily intake. The Standard American Diet, heavy in processed foods and light on magnesium-rich whole foods, is partly to blame.
But it's not just about what you eat — it's also about what depletes your stores. Stress hormones burn through magnesium rapidly. Caffeine increases magnesium excretion through urine. Alcohol interferes with absorption. Even intense exercise can drain your levels faster than you can replenish them through food alone.
Modern farming practices have also reduced magnesium content in soil, meaning even nutrient-dense vegetables contain less than they did decades ago. The result? A widespread deficiency that affects everything from sleep quality to muscle function.
Here's My Favorite Way to Use It
I like to spray a few spritzes across my chest and shoulders before bed — rub it in, breathe deep, and let that cool tingle melt away the day. There's something almost ritual about it now. It signals to my body that it's time to let go of whatever tension I've been carrying.
The slight tingling sensation you might feel? That's totally normal. It means the magnesium is working, and for most people, it fades within a few minutes as your skin adjusts. If it ever feels chalky or leaves a white residue, just wet your hands and rub again to reactivate it. The moisture helps it absorb even better.
Some folks add a bit of lotion on top to help it absorb even deeper and keep their skin feeling soft. Others prefer to spray it directly on sore calves, tight shoulders, or restless legs. There's no wrong way to use it — just listen to your body and apply where you need relief most.
I've found that consistency matters more than quantity. A little bit every night works better than a lot once in a while. Your body builds up its magnesium stores gradually, and that's when you really start to notice the difference in how you feel.
Got Questions About Magnesium?
Here are the questions I hear most often. If you don't see your answer here, feel free to reach out — I'm always happy to chat.
Can I use magnesium spray every day?
Yes, absolutely. It's safe for daily use and actually works best when used consistently. Most people use 3–5 sprays on areas that feel tight or sore. Some use it morning and night, others just before bed. Find what feels right for your body.
Does it help with cramps or restless legs?
Many users say yes — magnesium helps relax muscles and support circulation, which can ease those uncomfortable sensations. Try spraying directly on your calves or thighs about 20 minutes before bed. Consistency is key, so give it a few nights to see full results.
What if I have sensitive skin?
Try spraying on a less sensitive area first, like your arms or legs, to see how your skin responds. You can also dilute it with a bit of water or mix with lotion to soften the sensation. The tingling usually decreases as your body becomes accustomed to topical magnesium.
How soon will I feel results?
Some people notice relief in minutes, especially for muscle tension. Others feel best results with nightly use over a week or two as their magnesium levels build up. Sleep improvements often show up within 3–7 days of consistent use.
