Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I would benefit from Happy Horizons Magnesium Cream?
Many common symptoms are known to be related to magnesium deficiency, so if you suffer from any of the symptoms listed below, you will probably benefit from using Happy Horizons Magnesium Cream.
It is difficult to diagnose magnesium deficiency clinically, because a blood test will not reveal a deficiency in the tissues. The body manages to keep blood levels of magnesium within quite narrow limits and it does this as a priority; this does not reflect the status of magnesium in the tissues, and tissue biopsies are generally considered too invasive to perform routinely.
How much Happy Horizons Magnesium Cream should I use?
We are all different so we encourage you to experiment to find the optimum amount and frequency depending on the severity of your symptoms. We recommend applying before going to bed and as required during the day.
Unlike other types of magnesium there are no known contraindications to topical application of Happy Horizons Magnesium Cream, so there is no danger you can overdose.
Is Happy Horizons Magnesium Cream safe to use during pregnancy?
Yes, Happy Horizons Magnesium Cream is safe to use during pregnancy. Many midwives specifically recommend our cream for help with cramps, which are common particularly during the second and third trimesters.
The magnesium salts that Happy Horizons uses are naturally occurring in the Earth and have been lab tested, so we know it is the purest available. Some magnesium salts are made with ‘agricultural grade’ magnesium sulphate, which permits much higher levels of contaminants (heavy metals and the like).
There are no known contraindications for the type of magnesium (MgSO4) we use at Happy Horizons when applied topically. There are potential complications with all other forms of magnesium, and with oral magnesium too.
Can I use Happy Horizons Magnesium Cream for menstrual cramps?
The short answer is Yes!
Your uterus is a muscle and relaxes and contracts like all muscles. Generously apply Happy Horizons magnesium Cream to your abdomen when you experience menstrual cramps and continue to apply daily.
Is Happy Horizons Magnesium Cream safe for children and babies?
Yes, Happy Horizons magnesium cream is safe to use for children and babies, and many parents finds it helps their little ones settle better and everybody’s sleep improves.
The magnesium salts that Happy Horizons uses are naturally occurring in the Earth and have been lab tested, so we know it is the purest available.

Why should I use Happy Horizons Magnesium Cream?
This is the original magnesium cream, and we think it is still the best and most effective cream you can buy. Developed and made here in New Zealand, in small batches using the highest quality ingredients. There are no fillers, stabilisers, preservatives etc. Our beautiful cold-pressed oils are all sourced from organically certified producers whom we trust.
My Magnesium Cream has gone slightly grainy. Does this matter?
At Happy Horizons we don’t use synthetic stabilisers in our products. This is one of the things that makes Happy Horizons Magnesium Cream stand out from the rest. There is a trade off: if the cream is stored in a too cold room, it can sometimes get a bit grainy. This is cosmetic only and doesn’t affect the efficacy. However, if you store you cream above 15 degrees, you can avoid the issue.
Will Happy Horizons Magnesium Cream help to improve my sleep patterns?
There are many factors which may contribute to poor sleep. There is a large body of research showing magnesium improves sleep quality across a range of circumstances. We believe that topical application of Happy Horizons Magnesium Cream just before sleep is the most effective way, and we have a growing body of customer feedback confirming the effectiveness of this cream as a sleep support.
Can people who are gluten intolerant use Happy Horizons Magnesium Cream?
Happy Horizons Magnesium Cream and all Happy Horizons products are gluten-free.

I also find having magnesium rubbed on my skin helps me relax therefore sleep better.
