Why Magnesium Spray Is the Ultimate Wind-Down Ritual

Nav Lotay |

If your brain’s buzzing at night and your body just won't get into the relaxed state allowing you to fall asleep, magnesium might be your missing supplement. But not just any kind. Magnesium supplements (Glycinate) but also magnesium spray - which is quickly becoming a go-to for better sleep, faster recovery, and deeper relaxation.

Here’s why it works, and how to use it.

Why Magnesium Matters for Sleep

Magnesium plays a role in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including regulating nervous system activity and helping produce melatonin, your natural sleep hormone. Low levels of magnesium can lead to insomnia, anxiety, and restless sleep.

Why Spray Instead of Pills?

  • Faster absorption: Spraying magnesium oil directly on your skin allows for transdermal absorption, bypassing the digestive system. This is great to quickly get to the root of the restlessness or aches (if that's why you're using it)

  • Better for sensitive stomachs: Oral magnesium (especially citrate) can sometimes cause bloating or loose stools (Citrate is great if you've been clogged FYI.. but don't overdo it). Spray avoids that.

  • Localised relief: Many users report reduced muscle soreness when spraying directly on tight areas (like calves or shoulders). I personally suffer with really tight calves irrespective of how much stretching I do. Magnesium has really helped loosen them up / relax and the tightness isn't quite as bad. 

How to Use Magnesium Spray for Sleep

  1. Spray 6–10 pumps onto clean skin (feet, calves, or stomach).

  2. Rub it in to the affected area or zone

  3. Ideally, apply 30 minutes before bed.

Pair it with glycine for a powerful evening wind-down stack.

Yes - there is a quibble 

And primarily, that's you're not getting the most amount of magnesium into your body! However, as we bypass the need for digestion, you're getting a fair amount (brand depending) and chances are your gut is probably not optimised to digest and absorb the full amount of the magnesium capsule/tablet you've been taking. 

All I can say is give it a try!
