How Much Magnesium Do You Really Need?

And Why Your Body Burns Through It Faster Than You Think

Magnesium is one of the most essential minerals in the body. It supports bone strength, muscle recovery, nervous system balance, and hormone health helping you stay calm, energized, and in rhythm.

Yet most people don’t realize how much magnesium they actually need, or how quickly daily life can deplete it.

How Much Magnesium You Need Daily

Your body uses magnesium for hundreds of cellular functions energy production, muscle repair, and nervous system regulation every single day.
The amount you need depends on your age, gender, and life stage:

Even with a nutrient-rich diet, up to 80% of adults don’t meet these daily needs due to modern stress, caffeine, and soil nutrient loss.

When Your Body Burns Through Magnesium Faster

Certain stages and habits cause your body to use magnesium more quickly, leaving you depleted:

• Stress & poor sleep – Elevated cortisol drains magnesium stores.
  
  

• Exercise & sweating – Muscles and energy production depend on magnesium, which you lose through sweat.
  
  

• Caffeine & alcohol – Both flush magnesium from your system.
  
  

• PMS, pregnancy, or perimenopause – Hormonal fluctuations raise your body’s mineral demands.
  
  

• Breastfeeding – Magnesium supports both milk production and postpartum recovery.
  
  

During these times, your body may require 20–30% more magnesium than usual to feel balanced.

Replenish Magnesium the Easy Way

Getting enough magnesium from food alone can be challenging. That’s why topical magnesium is one of the easiest and most effective ways to restore your levels.

Applied directly to the skin, it absorbs through the surface and goes straight into the bloodstream bypassing digestion for faster results.

 At Behrhaus, one full dropper of our Magnesium Oil delivers approximately 100 mg of pure, bioavailable magnesium.

Use 3–4 droppers daily to help meet your body’s needs especially during busy, stressful, or hormonal phases.

Consistent magnesium replenishment supports better sleep, balanced hormones, faster recovery, and a calmer, more grounded body.
Give your body the minerals it depends on and feel the difference in your energy, mood, and overall balance.
