Low Magnesium?

Hi I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and a friend suggested to me to take a magnesium supplement. So I bought a magnesium spray for me to apply to my skin.

I had my magnesium levels checked about a month before I used the spray and these are the results:

Serum magnesium: 0.89 mmol/L (0.70-1.00 mmol/L)

Yet when I used the magnesium spray I had some tingling in my arms soon after using it. The instructions on the bottle say if I experience tingling after applying the spray that meant my levels of magnesium are low! So I don't understand why my magnesium levels are supposedly normal and then I use a spray that tell me I could be deficient in it!

Anyone explain to me why this could be please?

Thanks! :)

It has to do with tissue level deficiency, which is what you should be really concerned with.
99% of your magnesium is in the tissues, so don't bother with your serum levels.
BTW  you can buy magnesium chloride flakes and mix them with water
50/50 to make your own magnesium oil.
I've been doing this for years and it really works for me.
Try every other day, avoid sensitive parts of your body and after
You dry yourself, use a long natural bristle brush and give yourself a
Lymphatic massage. You will fell like a new ..person, lol!

Cheers!
