Can I use this product after the best by date has passed?
Yes. Asutra's team has tested & certified that it is still safe and effective to use for warming pain relief!
Is it scented?
No, our Magnesium Oil Spray is not scented.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
We recommend our Pure Magnesium Oil Spray without capsaicin for those with sensitive skin.
Where should I apply Magnesium Oil Spray?
Most people spray it on their arms, legs, feet, and/or stomach. Some people with specific issues like leg or muscle cramps will spray and massage it onto that part of their body. We recommend gently massaging it into your skin. Once absorbed through your skin, the magnesium will be carried to different parts of your body.
Is topical magnesium safe to use during pregnancy?
Absolutely! Asutra magnesium is safe to use during pregnancy. Many customers cite Melt Pain Away Magnesium Body Butter as being incredibly helpful in providing relief from sciatica and restless legs / leg cramps during pregnancy. Supplementing with magnesium during pregnancy is important as it supports building of bones, regulates insulin and blood sugar levels and the functioning of enzymes. As always, we recommend consulting your physician with any questions prior to using.
Why is using transdermal Magnesium Oil better than orally taking magnesium pills or supplements?
Transdermal magnesium is ideal because it is more rapidly absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream, elevating low or depleted levels of magnesium much more quickly into your body than pills or supplements.
Asutra Magnesium Oil stings my skin. Is this normal?
We get asked about burning and skin sensitivity with capsaicin. Some users do experience a slight burning or itching sensation when they first try the products but that subsides after a few uses. It is hard to know if it is the magnesium or the capsaicin or the combination that is yielding the sensation. Our best advice is to start small and build up your amount. But you should take care to avoid your eyes and other mucus membranes as well as any scrapes or wounds. And make sure to wash your hands carefully and thoroughly after applying (remember – it comes from the chili pepper – no one wants to rub chili pepper on their eyes!).
How often should I use magnesium oil?
To replenish your daily dose of magnesium, we recommend 15 sprays of Asutra Magnesium Oil twice a day for 30 sprays total daily. We tested this and it truly takes seconds. The easiest way we found was to start and end our days with 15 sprays in the AM before getting dressed and 15 sprays in the PM before going to sleep. Really - it takes less than 1 minute total to get your daily allowance of magnesium and all its amazing benefits!
Any more helpful tips prior to applying Magnesium Oil Spray?
Yes! To get the maximum benefits, make sure your skin is clean; this will help the magnesium absorb better and faster. Try applying the spray after a shower, when your skin is clean and warm, and your pores are more open.
Where does your magnesium come from?
Our magnesium is sourced directly from the Zechstein Sea Bed in the Netherlands, an ancient sea bed protected from modern pollution.
