FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What is magnesium?
    Magnesium is one of 7 macrominerals that helps support nerve function, muscle function, the immune system, bone health and more. It can help ease sore muscles and cramping, reduce anxiety, alleviate migraines, and even aid in relaxation and improving sleep.
  • How do I know if I'm deficient in magnesium?
    Magnesium is a macromineral, meaning our bodies needs at least 100mg a day. The recommended daily amount for adults is 310 - 420 milligrams. According to this study, It's estimated that roughly 60% do not achieve this daily recommended amount, and that 45% of Americans are magnesium deficient. Magnesium deficiency can have a few symptoms raging from: muscle spasms and cramping, fatigue, and muscle weakness. To boost magnesium levels, you can make a few simple adjustments to your diet by including foods with high magnesium, taking a daily oral supplement, or using a topical magnesium spray or lotion. If you are interested in knowing on whether or not you are deficient in magnesium, I would recommend talking with your doctor or provider on different ways of testing!
  • Will magnesium lotion give me an upset stomach like my oral supplements?
    Magnesium can be a natural laxative. For some, when taken orally, it can cause an upset stomach or even diarrhea. A not-so-fun side effect of oral magnesium supplementation. Fortunately, by administering magnesium topically, you can rest easy knowing you should not get an upset stomach. Applying magnesium via a lotion or spray avoids the digestive system all together! It can be a great alternative for those who have this side effect when taking magnesium as an oral supplement.
  • How long will it take to feel the effects of magnesium lotion?
    Everyone is different and it depends on how your magnesium levels were to begin with. We estimate 1-3 weeks to notice results if using it consistently. Some notice a sense of relaxation or restful sleep with the first application and some notice it after a few applications. As long as you remain consistent, you should see results within a few weeks if not sooner.
  • I've heard magnesium oil can give a tingling sensation. Why is that?
    Some people do experience a tingling sensation after applying straight magnesium oil. This tingling can be do to a few reasons with the main being it's your body's way of telling you that you are quite low in magnesium. With consistent use and ss the body adjusts, the tingling sensation should go away. Our magnesium lotion contains several other natural organic ingredients that tend to help alleviate or mask the tingling sensation as you are not applying the magnesium oil directly on your skin.
  • Will this lotion be okay for my sensitive skin?
    Absolutely. Rest assured, all ingredients used in our lotions are 100% natural and organic. The moisturizing butters we use in our products are organic and unrefined meaning it contains much higher amounts of Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and fatty acids such as Omega 6 and 9 than refined butters. All ingredients known to soothe, preserve, and help heal the skin from various conditions such as: dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, and more.
  • Does your magnesium lotion expire?
    Everything natural and organic has a shelf life and were happy to say that ours does because the natural ingredients we use :) We recommend using our lotion within 6-8 months of purchase – if it lasts you that long! We also recommend storing it in a cool dry place, like your bedside table or nightstand. Our magnesium lotion is formulated using Vitamin E oil. Because of its antioxidant properties, it prevents the natural oils from becoming rancid. However, given the organic, handmade nature of this lotion, we do not use preservatives. That is why we recommend using within 6-8 months.

  • What is the difference between your Counting Sleep Lotion and your other Magnesium Lotion?
    Great question! The main difference in these lotions is the amount of magnesium per serving. Our "Counting Sleep" lotion is specially formulated with a milder scent (or no scent at all) and it contains a lower concentration of magnesium to meet the daily magnesium needs babies and young children. In contrast, our other magnesium lotion is designed for adults and has a higher concentration of magnesium per serving, aligning with the daily magnesium requirements for adults. It's got a stronger "kick" to help with sleep, pain management, restless legs, anxiety, and more. Our adult Magnesium Lotion comes in 4oz and 8oz jars whereas our Counting Sleep Lotion comes in only a 4oz jar as it generally lasts longer with little feet :) Both lotions are formulated with only high-quality ingredients and are safe for use, but they are tailored to meet the specific needs of different age groups.
  • What's the recommended daily intake for magnesium in children?
    According to the National Institute of Health's office, the recommended daily intake for magnesium depends on your child's age: Infants from birth to 6 months require at least 30 mg/day Infants from 7 to 12 months require at least 75 mg/day Children ages 1 to 3 years old require at least 80 mg/day Children ages 4 to 8 years old require at least 130 mg/day Children ages 9 to 13 years old require at least 240 mg/day For more information, visit the NIH facts sheet on Magnesium
