Do you know that only 1% of the body’s magnesium is stored in your blood? This means that it may not show up in routine blood tests and is sometimes missed as a deficiency. Magnesium is by far the most important mineral in the body. It is essential for the electrical stability of every cell in the body and regulates the flow of calcium, potassium and sodium. Magnesium is needed in large quantities to be an effective cell controller. The recommended daily amount for persons over the age of two is 250+ mg. Transdermal (through the skin) magnesium absorption has proven to be one the most effective methods of getting enough of the mineral. A home bath of Epsom salts, topical magnesium supplements or a session of salt-water floatation therapy can be fantastic choices. What’s more, our skin has the ability to self-regulate the amount of magnesium it absorbs!
