Prof. Graham Pierce, Ph.D.The benefits of magnesium oil begin to take effect immediately when applied correctly. This concentrated solution is absorbed through the skin, allowing it to penetrate the body and deliver its beneficial minerals. Many are finding it to be more effective than oral supplementation as it bypasses the digestive effects common with many pills. Noticeable results will be experienced within days of regular application.
The unique thing about magnesium oil is that its means of absorption is transdermal, meaning it absorbs into the bloodstream through the sweat glands and hair follicles. Studies have shown that it has a 30-40% bioavailability when applied topically. This is comparable to 50-60% of the benefits from oral supplements. I have personally found that it can relieve muscle tension for me faster than any pill.

Apply magnesium oil to the areas of the body that absorb it readily and where it is most needed. The feet and torso area absorb solutions most effectively. Use 8-12 sprays to each limb or 15-20 sprays for the torso area. Massage clockwise for two to three minutes in each region. Wait one hour after spraying before showering for optimum absorption.
Start with small amounts if you have sensitive skin. Also, try a patch test on your inner arm to determine the correct dosage. If you wish, you can dilute the product 1:1 with water. Avoid the eyes and all broken skin. Most consumers will get over the idea in a week's time.
Consistency provides the maximum benefits of magnesium oil. For best results, apply the oil nightly before bed to produce cumulative effects. Make note of your progress in a journal. You may find that you feel relaxed and experience improved sleep, while also knowing that you are supporting whole-body health with this natural option.
