What is Ultra Muscleze Cream and who is it for?
Ultra Muscleze Cream is a topical magnesium formulation combining magnesium chloride with menthol and wintergreen oil in a paraben-free cream base. It’s designed for adults seeking localized magnesium support through skin application rather than oral supplementation, making it useful for those with digestive sensitivities or who prefer targeted application to specific areas.
This product works well for people who want magnesium support but find oral supplementation challenging, or who prefer applying magnesium directly to areas of concern. The topical delivery means you’re not dealing with digestive effects, and the addition of menthol and wintergreen oil provides complementary botanical support in a single application.
Fairfield Nutrition Thoughts
Topical magnesium addresses a real gap for people who struggle with oral magnesium forms (whether due to digestive sensitivity or simple preference for non-systemic application). Many practitioners recommend this for clients who experience GI effects from oral magnesium or who want localized support without affecting their digestive system.
The evidence for transdermal magnesium absorption is mixed in the literature, with some studies showing measurable increases in serum magnesium and others showing minimal systemic absorption. However, the mechanism is sound: magnesium can cross skin barriers, and the localized application with menthol and wintergreen oil provides a practical alternative to oral forms. We stock this because it fills a real clinical niche and many clients report positive experiences with topical application, even if systemic absorption isn’t guaranteed.
Why This Formulation / How It Works
Ultra Muscleze Cream combines three complementary components in a single topical application. The magnesium chloride provides elemental magnesium at 20 mg per gram of cream, the menthol and wintergreen oil add traditional botanical support, and the cream base allows for easy application and absorption through skin. Unlike oral magnesium, this formulation avoids digestive processing entirely, which appeals to people with sensitive guts or those simply preferring topical delivery.
The paraben-free formulation is a quality feature worth noting, as it reduces unnecessary additives while maintaining stability and efficacy. Each 5 g application delivers 100 mg of elemental magnesium, providing a meaningful dose in a practical format.
Magnesium in Muscle Tissue
Magnesium is concentrated in skeletal muscle tissue and functions in muscle contraction and relaxation cycles. Applied topically, the magnesium chloride can penetrate skin layers, with some evidence suggesting localized tissue uptake. The menthol and wintergreen oil provide traditional complementary support in the same application.
Transdermal Delivery Advantage
Topical application bypasses your digestive system entirely, which matters if you experience GI sensitivity to oral magnesium forms. The cream format allows you to apply directly to areas of concern and control exactly where the product goes, rather than systemic distribution from oral intake.
When to Consider This
This formulation provides topical magnesium support. It makes sense if you’re:
Scenario 1: Experiencing digestive sensitivity to oral magnesium supplements and prefer a non-systemic alternative.
Scenario 2: Wanting to apply magnesium support directly to specific areas rather than taking it systemically.
Scenario 3: Already using oral magnesium but seeking additional localized support through topical application.
Supplement strategy: Many people use this alongside oral magnesium for enhanced support, though it works independently. Some practitioners recommend it as a gentler entry point for clients new to magnesium supplementation, or as a complement to foundational magnesium support already in place.
⚠️ Not suitable for: Pregnancy, breastfeeding, children under 6 years, damaged or broken skin, sensitive skin (test on small area first), if likely to become pregnant.
How to Use
Adults: Massage 5 g (approximately 1 metric teaspoon) to the affected area(s) up to three times daily, or as professionally prescribed. Each 5 g application contains 100 mg of elemental magnesium. Do not apply to damaged or broken skin. If you have sensitive skin, test this product on a small area first and watch for irritation before applying to larger areas.
Application to skin may increase sensitivity to sunlight, so avoid prolonged sun exposure after application. Wash hands after application unless treating hands. BioCeuticals recommends using this as part of their Ultra Muscleze range, which includes oral magnesium formulations, though this cream can be used independently.

Common Questions
Can I use this if I’m already taking oral magnesium?
Yes. Many people use topical and oral magnesium together for complementary support. Just be mindful of total magnesium intake if you’re also taking high-dose oral forms. Check with your healthcare professional if you’re combining multiple magnesium sources.
Will this increase my serum magnesium levels?
Transdermal magnesium absorption is variable. Some research shows measurable increases in serum magnesium with topical application, while other studies show minimal systemic absorption. The localized application still provides value for many people, even if systemic effects aren’t guaranteed.
How long does it take to work?
Most people notice localized effects within minutes to hours of application. Systemic effects (if they occur) may take longer and are less predictable than oral forms.
Is this safe for sensitive skin?
The product includes a sensitivity warning. If you have sensitive skin, test on a small area first and watch for irritation before applying to larger areas. Discontinue if irritation develops. Avoid contact with eyes and damaged skin.
Warnings & Storage
Do not use if: Pregnant, breastfeeding, likely to become pregnant, or in children under 6 years of age.
Cautions: Do not apply to damaged or broken skin. If you have sensitive skin, test on a small area first. Avoid contact with eyes. Application may increase sun sensitivity; avoid prolonged sun exposure. If symptoms persist, consult your healthcare professional. If you have any pre-existing conditions or are taking medications, talk to your healthcare professional before use. Some products should be ceased at least two weeks before elective surgery; confirm with your healthcare professional.
