SeaMAG FAQ
Below are some common questions about SeaMAG.
While magnesium chloride is shown to help reduce pain and inflammation, topical magnesium chloride is still in the beginning stages of research. But there is promise: One study, examining the effects of bathing salts rich in magnesium chloride, concluded that it may be an effective remedy for lower back pain, as well as knee and hand osteoarthritis. Another notable study found that topical magnesium application may reduce pain and improve the quality of life for those with fibromyalgia.
Studies have long supported magnesium as an anti-inflammatory. Preliminary studies have shown that topical magnesium chloride may have an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. One study of note found that magnesium chloride application not only reduces skin inflammation, but also significantly improves skin barrier function and skin hydration. Further research has found that ointments containing magnesium chloride can accelerate the healing process of skin conditions such as diaper rash.
We do not put expiration dates on the SeaMAG Spray and Gel, as they are not ingested. These products are extracts from seawater, and magnesium chloride is a highly stable compound that remains intact for years.
That said, while magnesium chloride spray and gel do not have a strict expiration date, they can degrade over time if exposed to air, moisture, or contaminants. Here are a few key storage tips:
- Storage: Keep the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
- Longevity: When properly sealed and uncontaminated, the spray and gel should remain effective for several years.
- Signs of Degradation: If you notice changes in texture, colour, or an unusual odour, the product may no longer be as effective.
