How To Tell if You Need More Magnesium
Some common signs of magnesium deficiency or insufficiency include:
Trouble Sleeping
Magnesium helps regulate neurotransmitters that calm the nervous system and support healthy sleep cycles.
Muscle Cramps or Tension
Magnesium helps muscles relax after contraction. Low levels may lead to cramps or tightness.
Fatigue or Low Energy
Magnesium plays a key role in converting food into cellular energy.
Increased Stress or Anxiety
Magnesium supports the nervous system and regulates stress hormones.
Frequent Headaches
Magnesium supports blood vessel function and neurological health.
If you experience one or more of these symptoms, you may benefit from increasing your magnesium intake.
Transdermal Magnesium
Transdermal magnesium is the topical application of magnesium, where magnesium is applied to the skin rather than taken orally, allowing it to be absorbed through the skin into the body. Transdermal magnesium products can be applied directly to tense or sore areas, making it perfect for anyone who wants a targeted, gentle way to support their magnesium levels.
At Buffalo Gal, our transdermal magnesium products are designed to deliver the wellness benefits of magnesium while nourishing the skin with natural ingredients. By combining magnesium chloride with botanical extracts and organic butters and oils, our formulas hydrate and replenish the skin while delivering all the therapeutic benefits of magnesium.

How to use: Massage a small amount into sore muscles. Absorbs best into clean skin.
Magnesium for Sensitive Skin
Calm Balm is a pure, fragrance-free magnesium balm that supports overall wellness as well as the skin.

Lavender and Frankincense give Chill Balm a soothing aromatherapy boost, making it the perfect addition to any night routine.

To promote better sleep, apply a small amount to the bottom of your feet right before bedtime.
