Magnesium's Role in Sports Performance

Magnesium's Role in Sports Performance

Magnesium is one of most important minerals for sports nutrition but is often overlooked. This page looks at how magnesium can help improve your sports performance, recovery and why transdermal magnesium supplementation should be a key part of any exercise regime.

Whether you’re a professional athlete or just a casual gym goer, transdermal magnesium supplementation can help you train harder, perform better and recover faster.

Responsible for over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, magnesium plays a fundamental role in muscle contraction, skeletal strength and energy production, helping to sustain the high oxygen consumption necessary for athletic performance.

Key benefits of transdermal magnesium

The BetterYou transdermal magnesium range has been scientifically proven to replace magnesium lost through sweat and the accelerated metabolism of strenuous activity.

Magnesium chloride commences absorption immediately when massaged into the skin, providing a fast and effective method of replenishing magnesium levels.
