what's the story behind SOAKY?
there once was a mother with her head in her hands - desperate for her child to sleep well. her despair was turned into a quest to find a solution for her family's lack of sleep after what seemed like a lifetime of sleepless nights and frequent night waking.
she searched high, and she searched low and had tried almost all of the sleep suggestions out there. none of it worked, until she learned of the impact that sufficient levels of magnesium has on the quality of sleep and started adding magnesium to her child's bath.
​
lo and behold, after adding magnesium to her baby's bath for a couple of weeks, she saw a significant decrease in the nightly waking - instead of waking up 8 to 10 times each night, her baby started waking maybe once or twice.
this experience was the beginning of a new era and the development of SOAKY started. SOAKY now boasts a range of fun coloured and fragranced magnesium salt bubble bath for children of all ages and skin types.
what role does magnesium play in the human body, and how does this relate to better sleep?
just like iron, potassium, calcium, etc.; magnesium is one of the essential minerals needed by the body to stay healthy.
it affects various reactions in the body such as maintaining healthy levels of GABA (a neurotransmitter that promotes sleep); and the active transportation of calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes (a process that is important to the regulation of muscle and nerve function), amongst others.
these biochemical reactions all supports deep, restorative sleep and without sufficient magnesium you can experience trouble winding down, falling into deep sleep, and staying asleep.
