Magnesium Chloride Oil
What is magnesium oil?
Himalaya Magnesium oil is a saturated solution of magnesium chloride that is not ingested but rather can be applied directly to the skin, where it is reabsorbed and transported in to the cells. The solution is known as “Magnesium Oil” because it feels oily, but is not actually an oil.
Magnesium oil can be used transdermal through the skin.
The transdermal application of magnesium through the skin is a new form of magnesium substitution. As it is new, the exact route and pathway magnesium takes to get and travel through the skin is not fully understood. However, several studies in the meantime have confirmed its effectiveness.
Transdermal option- Magnesium oil through the skin
Magnesium absorption through the skin, also known as Transdermal Magnesium Application, is an easy to administer option. Its effectiveness on magnesium absorption is greater and more reliable than an oral dosage of magnesium, as the digestive system is bypassed. Problems associated with the digestive system such as diarrhoea or poor reabsorption are eliminated with the Transdermal option.
The transdermal option has become extremely popular over the past few years, and is a top secret amongst top athletes, also for the daily magnesium substitution. This form of application has also proven to be reliable, especially for people who do not tolerate the oral intake of magnesium well, or do not absorb enough, as is in the case with older people. The domain of magnesium oil is however the direct acute treatment of muscular problems such as muscular cramps, sore muscles, Restless Legs and the like. This form of application is thus highly appreciated, in particular by athletes and people who suffer from muscular cramps.
What are the transdermal transport pathways?
Until now, there are three known transport pathways for the absorption of substances through the skin:
- The volume diffusion, which is the pathway through the cell cavities (intercellular diffusion).
- The transcellular diffusion, which is the pathway right through the cells.
- The shunt diffusion, which is the pathway via the skin appendage, in other words via sweat glands and hair follicles.
The extent of the transdermal absorption depends on the following factors:
- Moisture condition of the skin.
- Size of the treated skin area.
- Magnesium concentration on the skin.
- Blood circulation through the skin- Exposure time.
Magnesium benefits
Magnesium is a 'power mineral', also known for the 'inner peace' that it brings. There is no other substance than magnesium that makes humans resistant to stress, calming the nervous system, while at the same time providing and maintaining a constant boost of energy.
Magnesium and metabolism
Every activity in the human body, such as temperature regulation to cell formation, depends on the chemical reaction of enzymes, which consequently, in turn is highly depended on the availibity of magnesium in the body.
Magnesium and energy generation
The more magnesium is available in cells of the human body, the better the functioning of the cells inner power structure known as the mitochondria, which produces energy in the form of ATP, found in human body cells.
Magnesium in our bones and teeth
The need for magnesium is just as important as the need is for calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D3 for heathy teeth and bones. Because of magnesium, bones become truly flexible and stable.
Magnesium and
realxation
While being co-dependent minerals for strong bones and teeth, magnesium and calcalium are also opposing players in terms of their effects on muscles. While calcium causes a contraction in muscle fibres, magnesium has the effect of relaxing the musculature.
