Magnesium is key to our wellness this amazing mineral plays a crucial role in optimizing your body's functions. So lets uncover a few truths about it.
Why is magnesium important?
Magnesium is essential for life. It plays a role in more than 300 of our body processes and is required by almost every cell in the body. It helps to maintain normal nerve and muscle function, supports a healthy immune system, keeps the heartbeat steady, and helps bones remain strong. It also helps adjust blood glucose levels.
Many people today suffer from magnesium deficiency, primarily due to modern agricultural practices that have depleted magnesium levels in the soil. As a result, food sources no longer provide the same levels of magnesium they once did. Because the human body cannot produce magnesium on its own nor store it, magnesium must be consumed daily in sufficient amounts to maintain optimal health.
Is all magnesium the same?
There are many magnesium brands and products on the market – but be careful as not all are of high quality. Some magnesium sources may contain heavy metals and impurities due to environmental contamination, while others rely on synthetic, lab-made alternatives. A large portion of the world’s magnesium supply is sourced from China, where environmental pollution and lax regulations can lead to lower-quality magnesium products containing potential industrial contaminants.
To ensure you are getting the best possible, highest quality, natural magnesium, always check the product label. For magnesium oil spray the ingredients should only list water (aqua) and magnesium chloride. If a product does not clearly state where its magnesium is sourced, it is likely from an inferior source (and it also shows that the brand is not proud of where it comes from!).
Why choose the purest and most natural?
At The Salt Box, we use only genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride, recognised worldwide for its unparalleled purity and quality. Sourced from the ancient Zechstein Sea, this magnesium is extracted from 1,600 metres beneath the seabed, where it has remained untouched for over 250 million years. This deep, protected source ensures that Zechstein magnesium is free from modern pollutants, heavy metals, and contaminants, providing your body with the purest and most natural form of magnesium chloride available. Additionally, it is ethically and sustainably sourced, making it the ideal choice for conscientious consumers.
Zechstein magnesium comes in the following forms: brine/oil, flakes, gel and scrub-gel.
If you're looking for a quick and effective way to replenish your magnesium levels, then magnesium oil sprays are the answer. Unlike oral magnesium supplements, which must pass through the digestive system (potentially causing discomfort or reduced absorption), magnesium oil is absorbed directly through the skin, allowing it to enter the bloodstream and reach the cells that need it most. Zechstein magnesium oil spray is convenient and simple to use on the go, making it easy for you to reap the benefits of magnesium chloride.
