About Us

The story of how Elektra Magnesium® started, 
born out of Sandy's health crisis of 2007-2008.
An Australian family's success in getting magnesium in via skin - pleasantly!

 


I was told by my cardiologist years ago to, "Put up with it like everyone else. We have no treatment for you because your blood pressure is too low, and if we give you heart slowing drugs they could give you a heart attack. Your heart structure is normal and vascular system is clear." He added, "You would be surprised how many other people have this problem. It's just a twitch in the left ventricle of your heart, like a twitch in the eye."

My chronic fatigue and heart arrhythmias, associated with Hashimotos hypothyroidism, were unbearable. 2007 and 2008 were also my menopause years. I was not willing to 'just put up with it'. There had to be a better way to manage these symptoms I thought. I scoured the internet and found books about magnesium citing research that spanned decades. It showed that magnesium is essential for the electrical nervous system, and that we lose it excessively under stress conditions. Magnesium is fundamental to mitochondrial metabolism, which is why so much can go wrong without it. It's like having power outages and brownouts to any body organ system. Under stress we pee out excessive amounts and if we are not putting it back to replenish stores we start to get magnesium deficiency symptoms. Well, I thought, that sounds like me. My previous job as a magazine editor involved too many deadlines and overnight vigils to get to print on time. I had truly worn myself out and felt constantly exhausted.

The biggest stumbling block for me however was getting enough magnesium supplementation to fill my tank. I couldn't digest food very well due to stress and vagus nerve dysfunction, and I certainly wasn't getting anything out of my handful of multi vitamin and mineral tablet supplements. I was already eating a fresh food balanced diet and avoiding the sugar and chemicals. Difficulty with digestion is one of the hallmarks of Hypothyroidism. It seemed like a Catch-22 dilemma: To recover the thyroid issue required more nutrition, but the thyroid problem caused digestive issues.

Then, after reading Marc Sircus's book Transdermal Magnesium, I ordered in an expensive product from Europe (as Australia didn't have any magnesium chloride for sale in any shop at that time) and discovered the benefits of magnesium chloride salt bathing, which bypasses the digestive system. It helped me recover my energy and resilience so that my coping capacity with stress improved greatly. I started to sleep better and feel stronger and stronger from the inside out, with my heart arrhythmias dissipating in increments over a six month period. I recovered without medications, but I had to get a lot of magnesium into me (which is impossible with oral supplements because the body poops most of it out before it can pass across the gut wall).

Eventually I found pure natural (food grade certified) magnesium chloride salt from the Tibetan plateau after a series of 'happenstances', but it was not available in any less than a container load amount. I checked and found that the harvested Australian magnesium chloride salt was made mainly from desalination wastes, so it was industrial grade (okay for pool salt and fertilizer etc), and not suitable for the high standard that I was aiming at. That's when I realised that we needed to bring this life saving mineral to Australia and make transdermal magnesium available for others. I kept hearing the voice of my cardiologist in my head saying that many others had this problem. So we had a sample of the food grade flakes lab-tested and subsequently imported our first container load, had it packaged and started selling magnesium flakes in late 2008.

One day, as I was applying my daily moisturiser, I looked at my hands and in a lightbulb moment wondered, what if we could put magnesium into a body cream for convenient daily use. I found it hard in my busy life to keep up with daily magnesium soaks, but my body needed magnesium top-up every day. After extensive Google searches in 2009 we found that there were no dermal magnesium products using magnesium chloride. None anywhere in the world.

Thanks to my talented hubby Peter Sanderson, who happened to be a trained food technology chemist, we achieved what many had thought was not possible. We were pioneers in 2009, and committed to developing potent magnesium products without synthetic chemical additives (ie. no dimethicone, no phenoxyethanol, no oxybenzoates, no pthalates, no GMO ingredients etc). It all had to be plant food providing nutrition to feed the body transdermally. Consulting chemists had told us that we couldn't bypass the use of chemicals in order to emulsify the cream with such a high salt content, and that at best all we would get is a liquid, but not cream viscosity. However, I had faith that we were being guided spiritually to develop solutions for many others. A high-fat buttery cream was also important for my dry skin condition (connected to low thyroid). I kept visualising a magical magnesium cream to use all over the body, and after a series of unusual events (and a few mistakes), we stumbled across the right set of processes, a non-standard protocol, to bring it all together without the petrochemicals. Herbal Magnesium Cream was our first magnesium moisturiser, and it took off.

Within a few months we were getting reports from customers that it was helping to normalise their skin after years of rashes, eczema or psoriasis. We had no idea that it could do this at the outset. What a blessing it turned out to be. Naturopaths were also sending in case studies. All were amazed. It is still our number one selling product referred by clinicians. Even the leading heart surgeon at St Vincent's hospital called me personally to thank me for producing Herbal Magnesium Cream because it resolved her dermatitis that had persisted for years. She said it was the only cream that had worked for her and she was recommending it to all the other doctors and nurses plagued with dermatitis from constant scrubbing and hand sanitizers.

Elektra Magnesium® was the first brand in the world to develop a Magnesium Cream Moisturizer with a potent strength that could be absorbed well without an icky sticky irritating residue. The skin just loves to suck it up. From there we developed different varieties of Magnesium Cream, as well as Magnesium Oil Spritz and Magnesium Charge Lotion with different strengths for various needs and skin types - and all without chemicals.

Whilst the main benefit of magnesium skincare use is the ease and convenience of getting a significant amount of magnesium supplementation without digestion, the bonus is exquisite antiaging skin care benefits (and only five minutes to rub in your moisturizer all over your body). The brilliance of using the skin layer to hold magnesium in reserve (using the good fats), is that it not only plumps up the skin so that it looks younger, but the body can draw from this reservoir at its own pace the exact amount required. You can never overdose this way because the body is in control of uptake, and the magnesium isn't wasted either. Try Elektra Magnesium®: I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised with the results.


THE TRANSDERMAL MAGNESIUM REVOLUTION IS HERE

Magnesium is the number one mineral electrolyte with the biggest impact on energy and metabolism, as mitochondria must have it to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate) - our electrical energy currency.
RELAX ~ RECHARGE ~ RECOVER

Exquisite Quality of Ingredients - all Natural and Organic (chem-free)


There is a growing awareness sweeping the planet about the benefits of transdermal magnesium via natural magnesium chloride salt products. Magnesium is used by the body every second and with every breath and beat of your heart. We need it to drive our electrical system and so many other biological processes. It is as important as water is to life. If you want your cells to plug into energy, you need magnesium for that.
We are proud to have been part of this massive wave as the pioneer company to promote and supply food grade magnesium chloride products to Australia since 2008. Elektra Magnesium® brand was the first to introduce transdermal magnesium products to Australia. Our range is made with natural and organic plant oils, butters and extracts (chem-free and no petroleum based ingredients), which are infused with quality food grade magnesium chloride salts. Our magnesium chloride flakes are tested in Australia, and at parts per billion show no mercury nor lead content. That's a really 'clean' top quality salt! There is only about 15% of the planets' harvested magnesium chloride which is certified food grade. The rest is industrial grade, and a lot cheaper. However, we believe it's well worthwhile to only use the best for healthy lifestyle. Your cells after all, are a product of what goes in.
From these prized magnesium chloride flakes we make the most luxurious magnesium skin care products, including four kinds of Magnesium Cream. This nutritious moisturiser is a skin conditioner, deodorant, massage cream and magnesium supplement all rolled into one. It's gentle enough for babies and children too! Magnesium Charge Lotion was formulated for massage of tense muscles and joints, or for exercise recovery. Our skin-friendly Magnesium Oil Spritz delivers the strongest dose of magnesium with a velvet feel and aroma of fresh mandarins. Any of the products can be combined in any amount, depending on individual needs.
Elektra Magnesium® products are designed to be a beautiful natural skin care support, relaxing muscle care, and a superior magnesium delivery system as well. We need magnesium daily and foods are not delivering enough magnesium these days to help us replenish as needed - especially under conditions of high stress. If we like how a product feels and smells, as well as how well it absorbs from the surface of the skin, then we are more likely to use it daily as a body care product and a rich source of vital natural magnesium. It's nutritious, easy and convenient to use Elektra Magnesium® products every day. They work fast and they work well to support your healthy lifestyle, and they offer the best value-for-money magnesium products because, "We give you more..."

The Meaning Behind the Elektra Magnesium® Brand and the Elektra Mythos Connection with the Greek Goddess Elektra (read more)

Integration of the circular element is symbolic of the earth and its sentient life force. Magnesium is a natural earth element and we are connected to the earth’s elements through Elektra Magnesium® products. The earth symbolism is reflected further through the visualisation of the water element being held by the circle. We are reminded of our greater sense of belonging, ‘completeness’ and integration of the elements of the earth.
The essence of water mirrors the symbolism of the circle. The circle expresses exhalation of the godhead. It has no beginning, no end. It is the alpha and the omega, the omnipotent and omnipresent. The conventional sign for the sun and gold is the circle. The human head of Elektra, also reflective of the roundness of the Universe, symbolises the striving for self knowledge and spiritual attainment (gnosis), which is, “the Light that shines without shadow, and indescribable joy, and unutterable jubilation.”
Elektra was the ancient Greek goddess of lightening and thunder. She represents the electrical energy that fuels all life. Emerging from the earth’s centre, Elektra’s connectivity, calming clarity and ability to ‘rise up above’ symbolises power from the wellspring of Nature herself. Elektra’s presence exudes humility and gratitude, a quiet strength that restores order and balance in the web of life. In this elevated position, she represents the overriding life force - the spark and breath of life pervading planet earth.
Brand colours sustain a deep teal and revive a new, golden hue; reminiscent of the sands. Sand as a polarity, yet complimentary to water. In polarity, we are reminded that there is balance and harmony amongst hot and cold, left and right, yin and yang. The cool and warm colour palette seen to work with each other, embodies the theme of harmony amongst polarity,
Elektra Magnesium® products deliver vital magnesium which is essential for production of our electrical energy life force. Magnesium in ancient China was called ‘the beautiful mineral’ as it burns white and bright. It enables the electrical spark of life which is symbolised
by Elektra. Elektra Magnesium® products nurture, protect, cleanse, calm, regenerate and restore electrical balance and order for all living things. and grace amongst power. Elektra Magnesium® is thus in natural harmony with earth, its awareness and energy. Its natural elements transmit and conduct life force. Circular energy is continuous and flowing. It is smooth and comforting. As a result, it has a relaxing and calming effect on observers. It is symbolic of perfection, completeness, freedom, balance and connectivity.

MISSION STATEMENT:

"Every beneficial contribution from every person comes together for the benefit of the whole community - and for humanity as a whole. The internet is like a big piece of knitting... Once we each knit a bit more and a bit more into the greater fabric, the fibres get momentum and start to join up with increasing effect, weaving back and forth. In this way the whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts. Everything we do to help our customers solve their problems not only benefits us, but also others within the 'knitting': Our re-sellers, their customers and their extended families too. Beautiful synergy!

We are helping to build a global magnesium awareness about how to use magnesium to maintain optimal health and wellbeing. It all starts with helping people develop better self-care strategies, which are usually about the benefits of magnesium because magnesium deficiency is such a big problem in modern societies due to excessive stresses and soil depletion. Elektra Magnesium® natural skin and muscle care products not only offer great anti-ageing benefits, but they are tools we created to make it easier, more convenient and pleasant to use magnesium transdermally every day and ensure adequate magnesium levels for optimum health.

When people are in pain, or their movements have become restricted or involuntary, they get grumpy. When they are low in energy and fatigued they lose the joy of life because it takes energy to feel happiness and enthusiasm. Low magnesium causes emotional dysregulation and stress hypersensitivity. When optimum magnesium levels are restored and our cell environment is cleaned up, these symptoms are alleviated. And we can do it for ourselves. That is freedom. There is no need to be imprisoned by your body's tightness or fatigue, shakes or twitches, or lack of sleep. You can just make a decision today to be free and follow a better nutritional pathway. Life was of course meant to be more loose and flexible!"
Sandy Sanderson, CEO.

Massage into muscle areas to relax and improve muscle and joint flexibility, enhance muscle performance (use before and after training), recover from stress with a relaxing magnesium massage, and enjoy better sleep. Made with natural and organic (chem-free) ingredients, Charge Lotion’s moisturising plant oils and certified food grade magnesium chloride salts make this a potent magnesium supplement.

Use daily to optimise magnesium supply.

High in Vitamin C and Magnesium Charge 

Each teaspoon delivers approx 300mg elemental magnesium!

How Much do I Need? See Magnesium Dose Guide on FAQ page

Very active people, pregnant women, sleep deprived and shift workers, those dealing with injury, drug or alcohol addictions, taking certain medications, those with heart rhythm disturbances or metablic syndrome and diabetes, or excessive stress, can need 1,000mg or more per day. For high level needs, in addition to eating more magnesium-containing organic foods, it helps to combine various magnesium topical applications, such as magnesium soaking, adding magnesium drops to drinking water, magnesium moisturising using Elektra Magnesium Cream, and magnesium muscle massage using Elektra Magnesium Charge Lotion and/or Elektra Magnesium Oil Spritz.

Elektra Magnesium Charge Lotion is absorbed and incorporated beautifully into the epidermis, plumping it up with hydration, and leaving no sticky residue. Powerful antioxidant Australian botanical extracts of Kakadu Plum, Davidson Plum, Quandong are naturally high in vitamin C, adding extra cleansing benefits and collagen support. Lemon-scented tea tree provides anti-microbial benefits and gives the lotion a fresh lemon-scented aroma - ideal for use also as a deodorant too. Many users comment that they are surprised at how effective it is as a natural deodorant. It is suitable for skin that needs less fattiness for skin barrier protection, but more magnesium for muscle recovery, such as sweaty oily teenagers, athletes, those doing heavy physical work or with repetitive stress injuries. Its texture is silky smooth, light and moisture-attractive thanks to hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid).
Do not apply lotion directly to broken or abraided skin. Best to massage in around any damaged skin area. For sensitive skin the lotion can be diluted by adding extra vegetable oil during the massage, as fats have a numbing effect. The products can be combined to suit individual skin and body care needs. Magnesium Creams have a lower magnesium concentration, but a higher fat content for more sensitive skin conditions.

Not recommended for sensitive skin types. If you have sensitive skin conditions please refer to the milder Magnesium Creams

→ Magnesium is Essential for Bone Health

Scientific studies show, “Positive associations between greater intakes of dietary magnesium and grip strength, indices of skeletal muscle mass, and BMD in men and women in middle and older age groups.” These studies suggest that magnesium supplementation may help with strategies to prevent sarcopenia, frailty, falls, and fractures.

Magnesium for Injury Recovery Brings Comfort, Calming and Pain Relief 

Elektra Magnesium recommends transdermal absorption of magnesium for injury recovery. When magnesium tablets pass through our digestive system, our bodies only manage to absorb a small amount of magnesium. Magnesium infused creams make it is easier for your body to absorb the necessary amount of magnesium through your skin.

Magnesium Deficiency Problems Can be Solved With Gentle Muscle Massage Using Elektra Magnesium 

The health benefits we find from adding magnesium to our daily diet are almost endless. It has incredible healing powers and aids significantly in achieving optimal health.

  • Magnesium is a valuable product to help ease the symptoms of restless legs. Our Magnesium Oil Spritz or Magnesium Charge Lotion glide on well and absorb beautifully into skin without leaving behind a sticky residue. Use in muscle massage to relax restless legs, cramps, tightness and spasms. Massage increases blood circulation to deliver nutrients to muscle cells. You can also use heat, such as infrared, heat wheat or hot water bottle. 
  • Cramps are often the result of mineral deficiencies in the body. When you have experienced excessive magnesium loss due to various factors such as stress or perspiration, cell membranes become compromised, leading to the loss of even more minerals. Mineral deficiency in tissue cells is the leading cause of cramping due to loss of hydration from lack of electrolytes, so replacing minerals in your system brings the relief you need. When you experience these cramps, they are extremely painful, but you can get relief from cramps with magnesium and drinking more water. Our range offers magnesium creams and sprays or for health and wellbeing, and long term preventative measures using nutrition. You can add magnesium flakes to your daily drinking water too. 
  • Endometriosis can be the result of hormonal imbalances caused by magnesium deficiency. It can be painful due to the amount of inflammation. You can alleviate the discomfort via gentle relaxing massage of the sore areas using Magnesium Lotion, Spritz and/or Creams to relax tension and help circulation. Magnesium is a natural anti-inflammatory that helps to calm stress, irritation, and tight or swollen muscles.

For as long as humanity has existed, nature has provided all we need to experience optimal health. At Elektra Magnesium, we are passionate about uniting you with nature to enjoy the numerous health resources it brings.

Magnesium is one of nature’s wonders to alleviate the discomfort of inflammation, but the benefits of adding magnesium to your daily routines go much further:

  • We have formulated our magnesium oil spritz with coa high concentration of magnesium chloride hexahydrate (60%) for use in massage to relieve muscle spasms, tension and cramps. It is the reason why so many massage clinics prefer to use it with their clients. Elektra Magnesium oil also contains other botanical ingredients that bring added nutritional support for skin absorption and comfort, with a refreshing mandarin fragrance.
  • We easily miss magnesium deficiencies in our pets. A lack of magnesium can result in excessive nervous and irritating scratching where the fur is worn away, but our magnesium cream for pets can help to calm their stress, soothe the skin and relieve their distress.
  • Horses with healthy magnesium balance are calmer in their demeanour, and tend to have healthier bones and hooves. Our range also includes solutions to address this shortage of magnesium in the equestrian world.

Fast Facts About Endometriosis Pain Relief

  • Inflammation and swelling of the endometrium is the main reason for pain during the menstrual cycle. Magnesium deficiency worsens this pain. Studies show that low magnesium itself increases the risk and intensity of inflammation.
  • Nature’s natural remedies for inflammation include magnesium. 
    Magnesium is an essential aid to relieve bloating, sensitivity and pain in general.

You can drink magnesium chloride too... Adding Elektra Magnesium Flakes (food grade) - or Magnesium Supplement for Drinking Water - to your filtered drinking water for alkalising and mineralisation helps the water to work better (ie. more hydrating), however it's best not to rely on it alone to restore magnesium reserves because it's usually not enough magnesium to supply all of people's needs. The skin can cope with much higher concentrations of magnesium absorption because the epidermis is the largest organ of the body. The greater benefit of magnesium drinking water is the enhanced cell hydration it brings, which helps metabolism and electrical conductivity via the electrolyte charge.

Magnesium for muscle recovery, strength and endurance

What causes muscle cramps? Could it be all those protein drinks? Excessive exercise? Dehydration?

Mini FAQ

Does it sting?

We formulate all our skincare products with beautiful natural fatty ingredients that help to prime the skin so that it can absorb the magnesium without feeling stingy, itchy or uncomfortable. The Charge Lotion is a higher strength of magnesium so recommend not using on the face (as it may tingle), for kids under 14 or those with extra sensitive skin.

If you have hypersensitivity, we recommend starting with the flakes for foot soaks and baths, plus the mineral drops for your drinking water. Then once you have started to rebuild your magnesium stores, trial out our most gentle cream, the Baby Calm Balm.

Can I overdose or take too much?

The simple answer is no you can't!

The skin is the largest organ in the body and will not overdose itself on magnesium, it will sit in the epidermis of the skin like a dinnerplate and allow the body to take what magnesium it needs throughout the day without causing diarrhea like what happens with tablets and powders.

When using the mineral drops in your drinking water (6-12 drops per litre), you are creating your own natural spring water and at this concentration you can't overdose.

Can I use this on my kids and pets?
What products for my skin type?

Normal skin types can use everything

Combination/Oily skin types normally prefer the Flakes, Mineral Drops, Cleanser, Lotion and Magnesium Creams (Island Spice, Zest-Citrus, Baby Calm)

Dry/sensitive skin types normally prefer the Flakes, Mineral Drops, Cleanser and Magnesium Creams (Herbal, Sensory Gold, Baby Calm) (The magnesium lotion may be too strong for dry skin types however try it because it usually is ok)

Hypersensitivity - normally prefer the flakes for foot soaks and baths, mineral drops for drinking water, then trial the baby calm balm. Hypersensitivity can be caused by magnesium deficiency, by restoring magnesium back into the body, over time this can help lessen the severity of the hypersensitivity.

What are your free shipping starter bundles?
How long before I feel a difference

If you're magnesium deficiency symptoms result around muscle cramps, restless legs, sleep etc, you can start feeling a difference from the first day!

For those with more severe symptoms can take a bit longer as the body will be slowly refilling your reserve tank of magnesium. Day by day, week by week, month by month, things will improve.

We need magnesium every day to function properly, with over 300 jobs to do in the body and over 1000 sub jobs, magnesium is as essential as oxygen and water to the body. If you have been burning through your reserves and not replacing it, the symptoms are your body's cry for help.

If after a week you're not feeling the symptoms ease, increase your daily dose, you can't go wrong except not using enough!

How do I know if I need magnesium and how much do I use?

Short answer: everyone needs magnesium, like we need water everyday, our body also needs magnesium, it just comes down to how much. Use the user guide to find your starting point.

How is this better than tablets and powders?

1. You need sufficient stomach acid to be able to digest lab-made tablet compounds and extract the magnesium ions. Tablets contain various fillers, binders, colourings and preservatives which can inhibit digestion.

2.  High concentrations of magnesium do not easily cross the gut wall. Optimal gut absorption is at lower concentrations such as what would be in natural mineral water and foods.

3.  Magnesium at higher concentrations in the gut attracts water, leading to loose stool and fast excretion of magnesium. When magnesium is combined with amino acids (chelated), it may be easier on the bowel due to slower transit, but it doesn't necessarily mean that all the magnesium fully transits across the gut wall to the interior so it can be taken up by tissue cells. Even the best digestive systems can't get more than 50% uptake of the magnesium in the best forms of chelated magnesium compound. At the lowest end of the spectrum is magnesium oxide, with only 4% bioavailability because it is so insoluble in water and unable to transit into cells.

4. The best use of oral magnesium tablets and powders is to treat constipation (not cramps, muscle or inflammation issues). However, that means only a very small amount makes it through to the muscles and bones of the body.

5. Magnesium chloride salt, once dissolved, is already in the right form for cellular uptake without further digestion. That’s why you can soak it up in a magnesium bath or rub it into skin via Magnesium Cream,Lotion or Oil Spritz. The skin acts as a massive reservoir able to store magnesium ions for later use by the body. This way nothing is wasted by the digestive system. It’s also an anti-ageing mineral for the skin.

The story behind Elektra Magnesium

Surprised how many people have these issues? Heart racing for no reason? Skipping a few beats? Involuntary muscle twitches? Sleep problems? Losing focus; brain fog? Can’t handle
stress? Fatigue? Wired but tired all the time? Stiff and achy? It doesn’t need to be this way.

I was told by my cardiologist years ago to, “Put up with it like everyone else. We have no treatment for you because your blood pressure is too low, and if we give you heart slowing drugs they could give you a heart attack. Your heart structure is normal and vascular system is clear.” He added, “You would be surprised how many other people have this problem. It’s just a twitch in the left ventricle of your heart, like a twitch in the eye.”
