A surprising number of people don’t get enough magnesium, even with a healthy diet. Symptoms of low magnesium can include:

• Poor sleep
• Muscle cramps
• Anxiety
• Low mood
• Low energy
• Irregular heartbeat

Certain groups are at higher risk, such as people with gastrointestinal issues, kidney conditions, or those taking diuretics. If you’re struggling with sleep problems, stress or muscle tension, adding a high-quality magnesium spray can help restore your bodies levels of magnesium to relieve symptoms.

Magnesium is often called the “mineral of calm” because it supports over 300 essential processes in the body. It helps regulate muscle and nerve function, supports energy production, and contributes to bone health. Many people use magnesium to improve sleep quality, reduce stress and anxiety, and ease muscle cramps. Some studies also suggest magnesium may lower blood pressure, support heart health, and even help with migraines.

The US National Institutes of Health recommended daily intake (RDI) of magnesium depends on age and sex:

• Women (19–30 years): 310 mg/day
• Women (31+ years): 320 mg/day
• Men (19–30 years): 400 mg/day
• Men (31+ years): 420 mg/day

Pregnant and breastfeeding women require slightly higher amounts. 

Many people choose to use a magnesium spray to ensure they meet their daily needs.

If you are new to magnesium and have never taken magnesium supplements or spray before, we recommend starting with our Gentle Formula. This is also the better option if you have sensitive skin or skin that is particulary prone to dryness.

If neither of the above apply to you, then we recommend our Everyday magnesium spray.

While we recommend applying Calmist magnesium spray before bedtime, you can apply magnesium multiple times throughout the day.

A good time to use Calmist magnesium spray during the day would be after exercise. You can spray it directly onto tired or sore muscles to help with recovery.

Your skin will only absorb what your body needs, so if you find you are getting a sticky residue after multiple uses in one day - your body is probably well topped up with magnesium.
