3 Things I Learned About Regenerative Farming From Matilda Brown
Matilda Brown on regenerative farming and why organic doesn't mean regenerative.
There are four ways to top up your magnesium levels. Choose from flakes, creams, oils and gels, or health supplements.
Magnesium chloride flakes from seawater or salt lakes, with around 15 to 16% elemental magnesium.
How to use itAdd a handful to a warm bath or foot soak. Food-grade flakes can go in drinking water too.
Good to knowMagnesium chloride draws in water, so it can leave the skin feeling soft and smooth after a bath.
Magnesium chloride in a moisturising cream base, in a range of strengths.
How to use itMassage into the skin, like the legs, arms and shoulders. Creams are great at night.
Good to knowThe cream base is gentle on the skin, so it suits first-time users and kids.
High-strength magnesium chloride in a spray, gel or roll-on. These have a gel or oily consistency, but are not technically an oil.
How to use itSpray or roll onto the skin or chest any time of the day. They're great after exercise.
Good to knowThese deliver targeted magnesium right where it's needed. They can be a little stronger, so you may feel a little tingle.
Tablets, capsules and powders, in forms like magnesium glycinate, citrate and L-threonate.
How to use itTake as directed on the label.
Good to knowMagnesium glycinate is gentle on the stomach and supports sleep, magnesium citrate supports healthy digestion, and magnesium L-threonate may assist with concentration and mental clarity.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, talk to your health professional.
