What are magnesium sprays?
The magnesium oil used in our magnesium sprays is a concentration of magnesium chloride, sourced from 1,600 metres below the seabed. This provides a pure and natural solution that’s 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’re available in various forms and can be used for relaxation, muscle relief, energy performance and many other benefits.

How do they work?
BetterYou magnesium sprays 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 fast and optimal absorption.
Transdermal magnesium absorption 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.

FAQs
How much magnesium spray is too much?
There isn’t an upper limit for transdermal magnesium products. However, there can be adverse side effects 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 our magnesium spray all over your body. If you’re using our magnesium joint or muscle recovery sprays, we recommend applying 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 moreyou use the spray, as your body increases its magnesium intake. You can help soothe the sensation by towelling your skin after massaging in the magnesium.
