Magnesium requirements can vary depending on age, sex, and individual health conditions. It is obtained through a balanced diet that includes magnesium-rich foods such as leafy green vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes.
Magnesium is necessary for the synthesis of proteins, which are crucial for the growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues, including muscles. It also helps to regulate the function of nerves and neuro-muscular signals, supporting the transmission of electrical impulses between nerve cells. Magnesium is also required for proper muscle function as it helps regulate the balance of calcium and potassium ions, which are essential for muscle contractions. As such magnesium can help to speed up the muscle recovery process after a workout.
If you feel you’re not getting enough magnesium, H2k’s OMG magnesium spray for sensitive skin, can help, as not only is it rich in magnesium, but the formulation also includes calming lavender, anti-inflammatory rosehip, melon seed oil and pain soothing arnica oil. When combined, these nutritious ingredients, help to reduce aches, pains, cramps and restless legs, not to mention creating a better night’s sleep.
“Why create a new magnesium formula” …by H2k’s founder Hazel Barry
“When lockdown came, I wasn’t able to go swimming and as such, was unable to keep fit as much as I wanted to. As I’m hypermobile and have hip dysplasia, not being able to keep supple, affected my ability to stand and walk. Worse, the pain of lack of movement was stopping me sleeping. Managing this without support was very isolating and as such, the only thing I could think to do to help myself, was research pain relieving products. Within a few months, I came across magnesium and kept trying different varieties, desperate for some pain relief. However, the more I tried, the more I spent showering, as magnesium by nature, makes the skin tingle. In my case “itch”. After lots of showers and restless nights, I just thought.. “This is ridiculous, I’ll make my own”.
It then took me 4 months to develop a formula that would work for sensitive skin, pain relief and sleep. I think my family were fed up of me saying “ smell that” or “do you like this” or simply just spraying them saying “is this ok?”
After much frustration, finally I had it sussed and it was then a case of being in the lab, making it stabilise, then putting it through testing, then producing on a large scale. I then began sourcing “aluminium” bottles, so we could offer not only refillable bottles but “for life” bottles, thus you can either refill the aluminium bottle, or turn it into something else. Either way, you’ve no need to throw it away.
We finally launched our OMG sensitive magnesium spray in “May 2023” (“Oh My “Great night’s sleep”) and we sold out in 3 weeks. OMG I thought. It’s literally gone off the shelves and we had to rush to make the next batch. It was so exciting and we’ve no end of customers telling us how much it’s relieved pain in their muscles and restless legs or/and enhanced their sleep patterns.
Here’s one of the comments from our customers:-
“My daughter has EDS Hypermobility and H2k’s OMG magnesium has changed her life”. She can now sleep and has less pain. Thank you H2k.”
