Magnesium - Oral or Transdermal Gel?

Magnesium - Oral or Transdermal Gel?

Most people have heard of or know about the mineral Magnesium. Whether the benefits and importance of this super mineral are also known to you is quite another matter.

There are 2 ways to get magnesium into the body, orally (by mouth) and transdermally (through the skin)

Benefits of Magnesium

To mention just a few:
  • relaxes tight muscles
  • gives pain relief
  • eases headaches
  • calms restless legs
  • reduces cramps
  • improves heart health
  • promotes a vibrant love life
  • contributes to strong bones and teeth
  • improves general health

Magnesium is commonly taken orally and there are many forms. Some examples are magnesium chloride, magnesium citrate, magnesium orotate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium oxide, magnesium sulphate and magnesium lactate.

Elemental magnesium and bioavailability are key words to watch for when choosing a magnesium type and the concentration of elemental magnesium varies greatly. A 1,000mg (1 gram) tablet of Magnesium Oxide may contain 60% of elemental magnesium but the bioavailability to the body is only 4%.

On the other hand Magnesium Citrate contains Elemental Magnesium 16% and bioavailability 90% so this is a good form to consume.

Bio availability to the body varies greatly but you are unlikely to find this information on any bottle of product. Many varieties will be only about 4% bio available to the body. a secondary consideration is magnesium needs to stay in the system for 12 hours to disperse. Often a bowel movement will occur during this time, reducing the benefits of oral magnesium.

Enter Magnesium Chloride the king of Magnesium. Magnesium chloride is a unique form and is transdermal. That means magnesium enters the body via the skin. When taking magnesium orally, the digestive system can be upset if too much is taken and diarrhea can result. As magnesium needs to stay in the body for 12 hours, diarrhea would result in magnesium leaving to body too quickly for benefits to occur.

An excellent way to build up magnesium stores is to apply Magnesium in a gel or oil form daily. Magnesium Oil is simply magnesium chloride powder dissolved in purified water. Distilled drinkable water is ideal and can be purchased at a cheap price from supermarkets. The liquid has an oily feel which is where the name magnesium oil comes from. It is not an oil at all.

Magnesium Oil is usually applied or sprayed on the body and left. Some people find this a bit sticky or initally the oil can sting a little. Many doctors who specialize in Magnesium chloride maintain the stinging is a sign the body is deficient in magnesium and as the supplies in the body build the stinging will cease. Skin can also dry when using magnesium oil daily, leaving it on.

Magnesium Gel Complex is an excellent and comfortable way to use and gain the benefits of magnesium chloride. Again not all magnesium gels are equal. MISMO has made magnesium gel into a body lotion product which gives the benefits of magnesium chloride as well as moisturising the skin.

Magnesium is present is every cell of the body so please be aware of the good turn you will be doing for your body when you supplement with this magic mineral.

Benefits

  • Supports joint health and movement – Encourages flexibility and mobility for an active lifestyle.
  • Promotes strong cartilage and connective tissue – Provides essential sulfur to maintain joint integrity.
  • Boosts skin hydration and elasticity – Helps support collagen production for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
  • Encourages strong hair and nails – Contributes to hair strength and reduces brittleness.
  • Assists with post-exercise recovery – Supports muscle and tissue repair after physical activity.
  • Supports digestive function – Helps maintain overall gut health and nutrient absorption.

Why It Works

MSM is a natural source of sulfur, an essential nutrient involved in collagen formation, connective tissue maintenance, and overall recovery. Since modern food processing reduces sulfur levels in our diets, supplementing with MISMO MSM helps replenish these vital nutrients for long-term well-being.

Who is it for?

Individuals looking to support joint flexibility and movement, skin hydration, strong hair and nails, and overall wellness.

How MSM Supports an Active, Healthy Lifestyle

  • Joint & Mobility Support: Provides essential sulfur for maintaining joint comfort and flexibility.

  • Skin, Hair & Nail Nourishment: Helps protect collagen and contributes to stronger, more resilient hair and nails.

  • Post-Exercise Recovery: Assists in muscle and tissue support after workouts to help you feel refreshed.

Many people who include MSM in their daily routine report feeling more comfortable and active.

Active Ingredient

  • 100% MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) – A bioavailable, ultra-pure form of sulfur that supports joints, skin, and connective tissue.

  • Packaged in Australia from imported ingredients. Vegan, gluten-free, and free from additives or anti-caking agents.

How to Use

MSM should be taken daily, and results should not be expected immediately. The recommended daily dose is 2–6 grams.

  • Start slow: Take ¼–½ teaspoon daily (or 1–2 capsules) and allow your body to adjust.
  • Increase gradually: After a week, increase to 1 teaspoon daily (or up to 6 capsules), based on your needs.
  • Best taken in the morning: Many users find it provides a natural boost when mixed with water or juice.

Some people experience mild detox effects when starting MSM, like slight headaches. If this happens, just lower your dose and gradually increase it. This is a sign that MSM is working.

MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen

Pairing MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen can help absorption and effectiveness. Vitamin C plays a key role in collagen production, which, when combined with MSM, helps support joint health, skin elasticity, and overall well-being. Many people take these together as part of their daily routine to support healthy aging, mobility, and skin vitality.

MSM with Magnesium

MSM and Magnesium also work together to support muscle recovery, joint health, and overall well-being. MSM helps with flexibility and inflammation support, while Magnesium plays a key role in muscle relaxation and nerve function. Many people take them together to help with muscle tension, post-workout recovery, and overall mobility. Pairing MSM with Magnesium can be a great way to support an active lifestyle and daily comfort.

How to add MSM to your daily Routine

  • Morning Smoothie: Blend into your favorite smoothie with fruits and greens for a nutritional boost.
  • Refreshing Detox Drink: Stir into warm lemon water to start your morning feeling refreshed.
  • Daily Wellness Blend: Add to your collagen supplement or protein shake to support overall well-being.
  • Post-Workout Support: Mix into a recovery drink to complement your fitness routine.

  • Pre-Workout Hydration: Stir into your electrolyte drink before exercise.
  • Bone Broth Infusion: Add to bone broth for an extra source of naturally occurring sulfur.
  • DIY Face Mask: Mix with water for a topical application—always patch test and consult a dermatologist if unsure.
