What is Magnesium Oil?
Magnesium Oil is a highly concentrated solution of magnesium chloride flakes dissolved in water, applied topically to deliver magnesium directly through the skin (transdermally). Despite its name, it’s not a true oil but has an oily texture due to the magnesium salt content.
It is especially useful for those who experience digestive discomfort with oral magnesium supplements, offering an alternative way to raise magnesium levels in the body.
