When calm is restored, calcium is once again moved out of the membrane channels, allowing magnesium back in for relaxation of the muscle. As magnesium brings with it water molecules, it increases hydration inside the cell, consequently relaxing and restoring internal cell transport (nutrients in and wastes out). Magnesium also donates electrons, which assists the antioxidant system to neutralise free radicals.
I am convinced that transdermal magnesium saved me from debilitating symptoms of hypothyroidism and heart arrhythmia, and helped me breeze through menopause without the stress, hot flushes or sleeplessness commonly reported by women in menopause. It has rejuvenated my energy levels, muscles and skin complexion with amazing anti-ageing results and I now understand why many researchers have referred to magnesium as the ‘fountain of youth’.
Getting more magnesium in via skin is easier than you may realise. Try it and feel the difference.
