Who We Are
MG12 is a family-owned, American-made wellness company founded in 2013. We create topical magnesium products designed to support pain relief, recovery, and sleep using science-informed ingredients and simple, purposeful formulations.
In an industry driven by trends and quick claims, MG12 has taken a different approach. We’ve built our products slowly and intentionally, refining our formulas over time and listening closely to the people who use them. Our longevity isn’t accidental—it’s the result of consistent quality and products that continue to earn a place in daily routines.
We believe wellness doesn’t need to be complicated. It needs to be honest, consistent, and built on trust.
The Power of Magnesium Made Simple
Our Story
MG12 began with personal experience.
Founder Tom Strader spent years working in construction, a physically demanding career that eventually led to chronic back pain and a diagnosis of degenerative disc disease. As his pain worsened, even daily work became difficult, and he began preparing for spinal surgery.
At the suggestion of a friend, Tom incorporated topical magnesium into his routine. After several weeks of consistent use, he experienced meaningful relief—enough that surgery was no longer necessary.
That experience sparked a simple question: what if others could find the same kind of support?
MG12 was created to share that solution, offering natural topical magnesium products to people navigating pain, tension, and physical stress in everyday life. Today, MG12 continues to grow as a multigenerational family business, reminding us that long-term wellness is built through consistency, care, and trust.
Our Vision
We envision a future where people rely less on harsh, short-term solutions and more on supportive, natural approaches to wellness.
MG12 is committed to being part of that shift by promoting magnesium as a foundational mineral, encouraging informed and intentional use, and supporting alternatives to the overuse of NSAIDs and prescription pain relievers.
Our focus is not on replacing medical care, but on offering additional support that people can trust.
H.O.P.E.
Helping Others Prosper Everyday
H.O.P.E. is a guiding principle at MG12. It reflects our belief that wellness should support the whole person—body, mind, and daily life. Through education, transparency, and thoughtfully made products, we aim to help people move, rest, and live with greater comfort and confidence.
Small improvements, practiced consistently, can create meaningful change.
Our Craft
All MG12 products are made in the USA with quality and consistency in mind. We prioritize naturally derived ingredients where possible, clear and transparent labeling, and simple formulations designed for long-term use.
We avoid unnecessary fillers, hidden blends, and exaggerated claims. Our approach is intentional, evolving, and grounded in trust.
