Transdermal Magnesium
Transdermal Magnesium
Our need for magnesium has never been so great, as a magnesium-rich body will be stronger, more flexible and better able to resist both physical and emotional stress.
Modern diet and pressured lifestyles have made magnesium a drastically less abundant mineral in our bodies, with levels significantly lower than anything experienced before.
Magnesium is an important nutrient that works to support:
- Relaxation and sleep quality
- Relief from muscle tension and muscle spasms
- General wellness
- Reduction in tiredness and fatigue
- Exercise and sports performance
Boosting magnesium levels with supplements ensures you maintain a healthy, balanced body—however, traditional forms of magnesium supplementation can prove inconsistent in delivering active levels of magnesium into the body.
Our need for magnesium has never been so great...
80% of older people (65+) are deficient in magnesium
53% of our teenage girls have daily levels that indicate gross deficiency
Levels of magnesium within our diet have declined by 21% since 1940
70% of all UK adults may be magnesium deficient and the majority of children fail to get the basic RNI

No-pill formulation
BetterYou’s magnesium products provide a fast, effective method of supplementing magnesium levels compared to other methods (such as pill formulations).
Transdermal magnesium (also called topical magnesium) has—through a growing number of trials and studies—proven to be more effective than oral supplements such as tablets and capsules in delivering magnesium to the body.
- Fast and effective supplementation
- Pioneering transdermal delivery method
- Backed by science
- Uses a pure source of magnesium chloride
- Free from man-made pollutants and heavy metals
Applied directly to the skin, the magnesium enters the body quickly, bypassing the digestive system where many nutrients, including magnesium, are poorly absorbed.
How does transdermal magnesium work?
Pioneered by BetterYou over 12 years ago, transdermal application (application through the skin) provides an effective method of increasing magnesium levels.
Apply directly to the skin and massage in well to stimulate absorption.
Magnesium is quickly absorbed into the epidermis.
The body uses magnesium to support over 300 enzymatic actions.
