We all need magnesium. It is essential for over three hundred biochemical processes in the human body. It works like the spark plug in your body by moving nutrients into the cells and purging toxins out of the cells.
When you are magnesium deficient, your body lacks this essential element, and without enough magnesium, you are now more inclined to suffer from many physical and psychological ailments.
Transdermal simply means “through the skin.”
Living the Good Life Naturally Magnesium Soak is a liquid Magnesium Chloride that is intended for external use to be absorbed through the skin through soaking in a basin or through direct application to the skin.
Magnesium was never intended to be pulverized, powdered, run down a conveyor belt, and compacted into a pill. Studies have shown that the body takes up less than 1% of oral magnesium. Large doses of oral magnesium can also cause digestive problems.
Oral magnesium supplements have the added disadvantage of decreasing your body’s ability to uptake nutrients from your food. In addition, ingesting isolated magnesium separates the magnesium from its co-factors, proving to be very damaging to your digestive system.
Also, there are many oral magnesium products on the market that are made with citric acid. However, citric acid can be problematic by causing damage to the digestive lining and causing the leaking of health through your digestive system.
Traditionally, magnesium comes from our food. Dark leafy greens (kale and spinach), pumpkin seeds, almonds, mackerel fish, beans, whole grains, dried fruit, avocados, and dark chocolate have been traditionally high in magnesium.
The problem today is our modern farming practices. Through the heavy use of chemicals and over-cultivation, modern agriculture has stripped our soil of the essential biological and organic interactions that allow plants to uptake the magnesium they need.
As soil becomes more depleted of this natural interaction, our food becomes more lacking in the essential magnesium element.
Magnesium deficiency plays a role in many human diseases, including:
Magnesium deficiency plays a significant role in all of these ailments.
Lab testing for magnesium deficiency can be a tricky and misleading proposition. There is blood serum testing which is not an accurate representation. There is also a Magnesium Red Blood Cell Test. Magnesium RBC should be between 6.3 and above for optimal health.
Magnesium is so critical to your health that your cells will pull magnesium from throughout your body to maintain normal levels in your blood. Blood tests, in most cases, will not show deficiency because your body is pulling magnesium from your bones and other areas to maintain the supply of magnesium. Many factors affect what we call your Magnesium burn rate.
