Magnesium: The Most Important Mineral?

Without enzymes, your body could not carry out the myriad life-sustaining reactions that take place inside your cells every day.  And without magnesium, your enzymes would be incapacitated In fact, magnesium participates in over enzymatic reactions in the body more than any other mineral. These reactions regulate everything from nerve impulse transmission to muscular relaxation to bone mineralization, just to name a few.

Unfortunately, most of us aren’t getting the magnesium we need from diet alone. In fact, according to the World Health Organization, three-quarters of Americans do not meet the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) for magnesium (400 mg).

Your Amazing Skin

Taking magnesium orally is not a viable way for many people to meet their magnesium needs, because at clinically relevant dosages, magnesium supplements tend to have a laxative effect. With topical magnesium, however, the gastro-intestinal system is bypassed completely, so the magnesium is absorbed directly into the cells.

By nature, skin is semi-permeable, meaning it can absorb and excrete certain substances with remarkable efficiency. Transdermal patches are effective delivery systems for active constituents because the skin acts as a direct line to the cells. This is also the reason why topical magnesium is so efficiently absorbed.

Introducing Ancient Minerals New “Ultra” Line

Featuring MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) for enhanced magnesium delivery

Ancient Minerals “Ultra” line is designed to further facilitate magnesium absorption, by pairing magnesium chloride and other trace minerals with MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), a superior form of the mineral sulfur.

When applied topically, sulfur enhances cell membrane permeability and may facilitate more efficient uptake of magnesium ions. Yet sulfur also has health benefits of its own. This naturally occurring mineral, which is frequently found near hot springs and volcanic craters, is one of the key minerals featured in traditional transdermal mineral therapies such as balneotherapy (mineral bath therapy), thalassotherapy (seawater therapy), and pelotherapy (mud therapy).

Our new “Ultra” line is particularly well-suited for individuals with sensitive skin. A slightly lower magnesium concentration counteracts any possible skin irritation, while sulfur in the form of MSM adds skin-soothing properties. Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil Ultra utilizes premium distilled OptilMSM – the world’s purity standard for MSM.
