Magnesium Chloride Gel is a form of transdermal magnesium chloride that is absorbed quickly through the skin, delivering magnesium directly to cells.
Provides measurable relief from muscle tension, spasms, cramps, aches and pains - and it softens skin!
Use Magnesium Chloride Gel at your massage therapy session, after a workout, a long day hunched over a desk - or anytime you experience symptoms of magnesium deficiency.
Formulated with plant-based Amigel for easy application, Magnesium Chloride Gel is equivalent in strength to our Magnesium Chloride Spray and is half the potency of our Magnesium Chloride Liquid.
Ingredients & Suggested Use
Ingredients: Each 1ml of gel contains 225mg of magnesium chloride, equivalent to 60mg of elemental magnesium.
Non-medicinal ingredients: AmigelTM, a 100% natural gelling and stabilizing polysaccharide agent (no petroleum).
Contains no fragrance.
Suggested Use: Apply directly to the skin and rub into muscles. Shower or wipe away excess after 20 - 30 minutes, to allow time for the magnesium to fully absorb.
Cautions and Warnings: For external use only. Keep away from the eyes.
Research
Clinical Studies
Can you really absorb magnesium through the skin?
Consider the evidence from clinical studies:
- A transdermal magnesium oil with a 31% magnesium concentration applied to the skin and via a foot bath was found to increase cellular magnesium concentration by 59.7% in 89% of study participants, measured through hair analysis1
- In a two-week pilot study, blood serum and urinary magnesium concentration significantly increased in a subgroup of non-athletes following the low-dose application of 56 mg of transdermal magnesium cream per day2
- Intracellular magnesium concentration significantly increased following the application of a transdermal magnesium chlorate spray to the skin for 4 months, measured by epithelial cell and blood serum analysis3
