It's
NOTyour fault. Every other option has the same core problem, none of
them actually feed the nerve.
❌
Oral magnesium supplements:
Research suggests only about 4% of oral magnesium actually
absorbs⁴. And what does get through goes to your heart, brain,
and organs first. Your nerves? They're last in line.
❌
Other magnesium creams:
Most contain just 1–2% magnesium, often in forms too large to
penetrate the skin. Add bases that evaporate in minutes, and the
magnesium never gets a real chance to absorb.
❌
Nerve pain pills:
Most of them don't address low magnesium levels, they just quiet
the signal. Meanwhile, side effects like brain fog, dizziness,
and fatigue can pile up. And when the pill wears off? The
discomfort is still there waiting.
❌
Compression socks:
Can actually reduce circulation if they're even slightly too
tight, potentially making things worse.
❌
TENS units, heating pads, foot massagers:
Temporary distraction. Some people find short-term comfort, but
none of these deliver the nutrients nerves may actually need.
