Ageing and Disability Care With Magnesium Comfort

“Several changes of magnesium (Mg) metabolism have been reported with ageing, including diminished Mg intake, impaired intestinal Mg absorption and renal Mg wasting. Mild Mg deficits are generally asymptomatic and clinical signs are usually non-specific or absent. Asthenia, sleep disorders, hyperemotionality, and cognitive disorders are common in the elderly with mild Mg deficit, and may be often confused with age-related symptoms. Chronic Mg deficits increase the production of free radicals which have been implicated in the development of several chronic age-related disorders. Numerous human diseases have been associated with Mg deficits, including cardiovascular diseases, hypertension and stroke, cardio-metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus, airways constrictive syndromes and asthma, depression, stress-related conditions and psychiatric disorders, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementia syndromes, muscular diseases (muscle pain, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia), bone fragility, and cancer. ” STUDY REVIEW from the journal Nutrients (2021): https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7912123/

BETTER HYDRATION WHEN DRINKING MAGNESIUM MINERAL CHARGED WATER
Elektra Magnesium® Mineral Drops for Drinking Water

Elektra Magnesium® Mineral Drops can be added to filtered water to recharge it with mineral electrolytes and improve the hydration capacity of the water. This not only makes the water taste better with a velvet smooth texture like spring water from the mountains, but magnesium water also transits more slowly and thoroughly throughout the body, thereby lessening urinary frequency (compared to drinking demineralised water). Magnesium chloride is adaptogenic regarding blood pressure and is known for supporting normalisation – compared to sodium chloride which is known to increase blood pressure. It is therefore a very safe mineral electrolyte for drinking water. At high concentrations it can be made to work as a laxative.

STUDY REVIEW from the journal Nutrients (2021): “Dietary magnesium, and/or magnesium consumed in drinking water (generally more bioavailable than Mg contained in food or in alternative Mg supplements), should be taken into consideration in the correction of Mg deficits. Maintaining an optimal Mg balance all through life may help in the prevention of oxidative stress and chronic conditions associated with ageing.” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7912123/

TRANSDERMAL MAGNESIUM SUPPORT

Elektra Magnesium® offers a proven range of natural magnesium skin and muscle care products, developed and manufactured in Australia since 2009. These products are used and recommended by private health clinics in Australia, USA and UK, and support the various therapies offered in those clinics, including nutritional, chiropractic, physiotherapy and massage.

Transdermal Magnesium delivery using topical products is an important adjunct nutritional protocol supplying people who have compromised digestion or magnesium deficiency, with essential magnesium via skin, which avoids the digestive system. This is especially helpful in ageing and disability care because of common digestion issues and resulting magnesium deficiency. The body can potentially take up more magnesium transdermally compared to uptake via stomach digestion and gut absorption. This process is self-regulating because the skin reservoir is able to store magnesium together with lipids, where the nutrients are available as needed. Because the body can self-regulate the absorption of magnesium from the epidermis, there is no risk of getting too much. You can use as much as you like until it feels better. More study references about transdermal absorption are on our Magnesium Science page.

ELEKTRA MAGNESIUM® CREAMS, CHARGE LOTION AND OIL SPRITZ

Elektra Magnesium® products support the skin barrier and are ideal for use in muscle massage to promote relaxation of muscles and joints, which also supports sleep and overall relaxation. The rich plant oils and butters facilitate the absorption of magnesium ions into the skin. With dry skin conditions, which are common as a part of ageing, it is recommended to lubricate skin fist with Elektra Magnesium® Cream. In more acute tension conditions, extra sprays of Elektra Magnesium® Oil Spritz can be applied and massaged into the area to help relieve the stress. Elektra Magnesium® Charge Lotion combines the moisturising benefits of plant oils with extra strength magnesium. See below for magnesium content of the products. Foot soaks or bathing with Elektra Magnesium® Flakes can provide comfort, relaxation and detox support for those with oedema, or aches and pains associated with muscle and joint stress. It also helps to promote better sleep.

SOAK AWAY THOSE ACHES AND PAINS WITH PURE FOOD GRADE MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE

For thousands of years pilgrims have indulged in ‘Balneotherapy’ by travelling to various mineral rich hot springs so they can soak away their aches and pains, relieve arthritis stiffness and regain a spring in their step. These springs contain a high concentration of magnesium and other trace minerals that help the body replenish vital electrolytes. The body is able to absorb mineral ions via the skin, our largest organ. The hot water soaking also helps to open pores and allow excretion of lymphatic wastes, which lifts the load on the liver to neutralise and eliminate metabolic wastes.

The reason magnesium chloride, once dissolved, can enter cells without digestion required, is because it is 100% water soluble, and is already in the right form for cellular uptake. The most abundant mineral electrolytes inside cells are potassium, magnesium and chloride. Elektra Magnesium® supply food grade certified magnesium chloride, which is also lab tested in Australia to 10ppb with no lead nor mercury detected.

If you can’t make it to mineral rich hot springs, then enjoy a luxurious magnesium bath or footsoak at home to slow down the pace of ageing. Human beings, regardless of age, need to replenish magnesium daily, like water.
