Transdermal Magnesium

BetterYou Transdermal Magnesium offers you the fastest way of elevating cellular magnesium outside of a hospital environment.

Over 20 years ago, our founder Andrew Thomas discovered one of nutrition’s best-kept secrets: 100% pure, pollutant-free ancient Magnesium Chloride. After experiencing the benefits firsthand, he partnered with Dr Charles Heard at Cardiff University to test its efficacy and ability to raise magnesium levels. The clinical trial was a success, showing that BetterYou Magnesium Body Spray is highly effective at increasing cellular magnesium, with absorption beginning immediately.

Since then, we have championed magnesium supplementation, becoming recognised as The Magnesium Experts and one of the UK’s leading supplement brands.

Did you know?

1. Processed foods affect absorption.

Eating more processed foods can make it harder for our bodies to absorb the nutrients we need. Even a nutrient-rich diet may not fully support your health if your body struggles to take it in.

2. Farming reduces nutrient density

Modern intensive farming has lowered the nutrient content of many crops over the past century. For example, carrots now have around 21% less nutrients than they did 100 years ago meaning even fresh food may be less nourishing than expected.

How it works!

How does transdermal magnesium work?

Magnesium is essential for surviving and thriving in modern life. We use it in every cell, every second, of every day. Yet our dietary intake has been dramatically declining as our diet becomes more processed, and our farming becomes more industrialised. It works at a cellular level, but the benefits are very tangible helping you feel stronger, more flexible, and better able to withstand physical and mental stress.

What are the benefits of magnesium supplementation?

Boosts Energy
Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and supports energy production. This means it plays a key role in the production of ATP (which is the body’s primary energy molecule) helping you feel more energised, alert, and ready for the day, while also supporting deep and restorative sleep.
Support Muscle Function & Recovery
Magnesium enables muscles to contract and relax properly, reducing cramps and tension. It also supports oxygen delivery and circulation, helping muscles recover faster and perform better during exercise.
Strengthen Bones
Calcium is insoluble unless in the presence of magnesium. It's vital to prepare calcium for absorption, supporting stronger bones which is important for long-term mobility and strength.
Calm Nervous System & Support Mental Wellbeing
Magnesium contributes to normal nervous system function and healthy psychological processes. Regular intake helps you feel more relaxed, focused, and resilient to stress.
Easy to Miss - Magnesium deficiency is common and often overlooked because symptoms like fatigue, poor sleep, muscle tension/cramping or low mood overlap with many other health concerns.

Hard to measure accurately - Only 1% of magnesium is stored in the blood, so blood tests offer only a rough indication and can be innacurate. Precise testing requires fat or muscle tissue analysis, which is quite invasive.

A simple at-home indicator - Applying BetterYou transdermal magnesium can reveal low levels: a sting, itch, or intense tingling may indicate deficiency as your body greedily absorbs the magnesium.

Listen to your body - The lower your magnesium, the stronger the sensation. As your levels rise, the feeling reduces to a mild tingle, and when you're levels are right for your body, the sensation disappears.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Expert Customer Service

Our 100% natural mineral sources alternate between the area of Northern Europe, the Dead Sea area and most recently deposits from The Irish Sea. The monitoring technology we continue to use guarantees the finest natural marine-sourced magnesium chloride available and we closely monitor our sources to ensure we use only the most superior form available in your product.

Our magnesium products are designed to elevate and maintain magnesium levels. They are specifically formulated for topical application, allowing quick absorption into the skin. When magnesium levels are low, the magnesium is absorbed through the skin more quickly than when levels are higher, which can cause sensitivity - we call this the 'magnesium tingle.' This is a good indicator that an individual needs to increase their cellular magnesium levels. As levels rise, the tingle will reduce and, in most cases, stop altogether.

We recommend 375mg of magnesium daily for adults. With transdermal magnesium, there’s no need to worry about overdosing, as upper limits only apply when taken orally, where large doses can have a laxative effect due to its natural relaxing properties.

Toxicity from magnesium is uncommon, as the body eliminates excess amounts, unless there are issues with kidney function.

However, we always advise consulting your GP before starting any new supplements, especially if you're on medication or have any medical conditions.
