Magnesium is an essential element in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate a huge range of biochemical reactions in the body, including but not limited to: protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation. There is some suggestion that somewhere around 60 to 70 percent of people in first world countries like Australia, the US and the UK are deficient in magnesium. The reason why we are collectively so deficient is complex and multifaceted.
Taking magnesium supplements is one solution to help rebalance magnesium levels. Applying magnesium through the skin is also a very effective mechanism. When magnesium is taken orally, the mineral works its way through the stomach and intestines before being absorbed into the blood system. When magnesium is applied onto the skin in creams or oil, the mineral is absorbed into the blood system through the skin.
Kirkwood Body and Bath have three different types of Magnesium creams or oils. Here are the details.
Magnesium Balm. This is similar to other Magnesium balms on the market. The magnesium level is just over 5% or about 220 milligrams per teaspoon. The balm is soft and very moisturising on the skin. There are three varieties of this product: Nude, Lavender and Juniper & Orange.
Magnesium Body Butter. A glorious, soft and nurturing lotion made with Sweet Almond oil, this lotion comes in a 250ml pump bottle and is lightly scented with Lemon Myrtle. Magnesium level is about 10%.
Magnesium Oil. Our oil is a spray bottle of concentrated Magnesium Oil in a Witch Hazel base with a Citrus scent. Concentration of the oil is approximately 45% magnesium.
