Magnesium & Sodium Levels
As we know from the previous Blog, Magnesium and Sodium are cousins that belong to the Electrolyte family (they get along really well too).
We have manufactured our Rem & Recovery Mineral Spray to ensure it includes a safe yet effective amount of Mg & Na that benefits you with every use; especially if you intend on using it daily.
Below is an indicator of the recommended daily dietary intake of Magnesium as per age group.
-1 to 3 years 80mg
-4 to 8 years 130mg
-9 to 13 years 240mg
-14 years and up
Males 400mg
Females 310mg
Now this is for food, drink, tablets, pills etc. so if you are already meeting your recommended dietary intake level for Magnesium in those ways you are off to a good start and using the Rem & Recovery spray will act like a booster or a 'top up'.
The recommended amount of Sodium per age group
-1 to 3 years 200-400mg
-4 to 8 years 300-600mg
-9 to 13+ years 400-800mg
-Adults aged 18+ up to 2000mg per day (equivalent to roughly 1 teaspoon)
And again this is based on oral intake and does not factor in the topical/transdermal/transcutaneous amounts we can absorb.
So ensuring the diet is broad and balanced is the best way to maintain these levels.
Nobody is saying you cannot add that extra bit of salt on your fish and chips, but what's important is you acknowledge your daily intake and make small adjustments to your diet each day to accommodate for the naughty days (such as the weekend) and always give your body some love for putting up with all those 'ah just one wont hurt' moments that turn into regretful yet totally satisfying munch sessions.

The recommended dosing limits for total dietary intake of Magnesium and Sodium apply to orally ingested versions only. However, if you experience lethargy, confusion, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps or irregular heartbeat seek medical advice immediately as these symptoms align with that of hypermagnesemia.
