  • What is magnesium oil?
    Magnesium oil isn't actually an oil. It's a solution made from magnesium chloride flakes dissolved in water. It gets the name "oil" due to its slippery texture. Magnesium is a vital mineral necessary for the well-being of muscles, nerves, bones, and maintaining balanced blood sugar levels. A prolonged deficiency in magnesium can increase the risk of health issues, including heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and osteoporosis.
  • How does magnesium oil work?
    Magnesium oil is absorbed through the skin, allowing the magnesium to bypass the digestive system and go directly into the bloodstream, where it can replenish magnesium levels more effectively. This method of transdermal absorption can help increase magnesium levels in the body, providing various health benefits. Magnesium oil is often used to support muscle recovery, reduce cramps, alleviate headaches, improve sleep, and promote relaxation. Many people also use it to boost their magnesium levels without taking oral supplements.
  • Is it safe to use Magnesium Oil on children?
    Yes, but it's recommended to use a product specifically formulated for kids, like the Kids Magnesium Oil, which contains milder concentrations. Always start with a small amount and consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns.
  • What are the benefits of using magnesium oil?
    Magnesium oil can help with muscle relaxation, reducing muscle cramps, improving sleep quality, supporting bone health, and reducing symptoms of magnesium deficiency.
  • Can I use magnesium oil during pregnancy?
    It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before using any new product during pregnancy. However, many women find magnesium oil beneficial for pregnancy-related leg cramps and sleep issues. We suggest using it on the backs of your legs below the knee and on the sole of the feet daily.
  • How often should I use magnesium oil?
    This depends on individual needs, but it’s generally recommended to apply it 1-2 times daily, especially after exercise or before bed for relaxation. For general well-being, applying it once daily can be beneficial. For specific concerns like muscle cramps or sleep disturbances, you might want to use it more frequently.
  • Is it normal to feel tingling or itching when I apply Magnesium Oil?
    Yes, tingling or itching is common, especially if your body is low in magnesium. A small percentage of users might feel a tingling sensation upon the initial application. This reaction is often indicative of a magnesium deficiency or heightened skin sensitivity. To alleviate this, you could dilute the product during the first week by using it after showering or layering it over a light moisturizer. If the sensation continues, please reach out to us for alternative solutions.

  • Where Do You Source Your Ingredients From?
    At Magnesium Relief, we are proud to source 100% of our ingredients from Australia. Our magnesium chloride is harvested from the pristine salt lakes of Western Australia, while the bentonite clay used in our products is carefully mined in Queensland. Even our packaging is sourced locally, ensuring that every aspect of our product is truly Australian-made. This commitment to local sourcing guarantees the highest quality and supports Australian businesses every step of the way.
  • Can I Overdose on Magnesium Oil?
    It is highly unlikely to overdose on magnesium oil when applied topically. Your skin only absorbs the amount of magnesium your body needs, and excess magnesium is naturally excreted. However, if you are using other forms of magnesium, such as oral supplements, it’s important to monitor your total magnesium intake. If you have any concerns or underlying health conditions, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional to ensure you're using magnesium safely.
