We Love Magnesium - But Not the Myths

Why Everyone’s Talking About Magnesium

Magnesium is having a moment and for good reason. This essential mineral powers over 300 vital biochemical processes in your body, including energy production, muscle recovery, hormonal balance, mood regulation, and quality sleep.

But as its popularity skyrockets, so does the misinformation. Between influencer wellness trends and half-baked health claims, it’s easy to get confused about what magnesium really does—and how to use it effectively.

A Month of Myth-Busting Starts Now

Welcome to Salt Lab’s Magnesium Myth-Busting Campaign. Throughout August, we’re cutting through the noise to bring you real, science-backed insights about this powerful mineral.

From social media fluff to outdated nutrition advice, we’re calling out the confusion and arming you with the facts to make smarter wellness choices.

Why We’re Doing This

We get it. The wellness world is overflowing with trendy buzzwords and conflicting advice. One minute you’re told to load up on greens; the next, it’s magnesium baths or powders or pills.

At Salt Lab, we believe wellness should feel empowering, not overwhelming. That’s why our focus is simple: education meets effectiveness.

Our mission is to help you cut through the clutter and understand how to use magnesium in a way that actually supports your body and lifestyle.

The Magnesium Myths We’re Calling Out

Let’s set the record straight. Here are some of the biggest myths about magnesium that we’re tackling this month:

 

The Diet Myth: “I Get Enough Magnesium from Food”

Think again. While magnesium is found in leafy greens, legumes, seeds, and grains, modern soil depletion has drastically reduced the mineral content in our crops.

Even if you eat a wholefoods diet, research shows it’s still difficult to meet your magnesium needs from food alone.

The Sleep-Only Myth: “Magnesium Is Just for Bedtime”

Yes, magnesium supports sleep—but that’s just one of its many benefits. Magnesium also:

  • Supports energy production

  • Aids post-exercise recovery

  • Promotes mood regulation and hormonal balance

  • Helps reduce muscle tension and headaches

The Oral Supplement Myth: “Magnesium Tablets Are the Best Option”

Not necessarily. Oral magnesium supplements can be poorly absorbed, especially if your digestion is compromised. Many also cause stomach upset or diarrhoea.

That’s why topical magnesium is gaining traction. It bypasses the digestive system, absorbs directly into the bloodstream, and delivers fast, effective results.

The Quick Fix Myth: “Magnesium Works Overnight”

Magnesium is not a magic pill, it’s a foundational nutrient. Real benefits come from consistent use over time, especially when applied correctly.

Topical application makes it easier to build into your daily routine, supporting your body as it works toward better balance, energy and calm.

Magnesium Deserves Better Than the Hype

Magnesium isn’t a fad. It’s not fluffy, trendy or just another wellness buzzword. It’s a critical mineral that plays an essential role in everything from heart health to hormone production.

And yet, most of us are deficient, often unknowingly. That’s why the how behind magnesium delivery matters.
