Welcome to Primo Blog number two, here we’ll check out the unique proprietary blend of ingredients in Primo Chalk and some of the benefits for you, our athletes!
Where is it made?
Here in Texas! We blend everything ourselves while keeping a close eye on the quality and
purity of the ingredients. By manually mixing the ingredients together, we are able to perfect our trademarked chalk formula ratio everytime.
What’s in the Blend?
Magnesium Carbonate
The reliable hero of the blend, it does the heavy lifting. Mag Carb helps reduce moisture and sweat on the hands, improving friction and preventing slippage. It’s insoluble as well so your sweat doesn’t wash it off easily.
Epsom Salt
Underrated, behind the scenes skin technicians of the blend. Epsom salts are water soluble and
therefore absorbed by the skin, they can soothe muscles, alleviate stress, and promote
relaxation. Epsom salt is another compound of magnesium – the kind you add into a bath for all the therapeutic benefits.
We could write several blogs just on magnesium alone, a bit of a wonder element that up to
75% of us aren’t getting enough of naturally. To name just a few things; it plays a really
important role in energy production, mood, cardiovascular and bone health. Pretty handy if you
ask me.
We also lose Magnesium when we sweat. Count this as a two birds with one stone situation, or 2
weights with one arm, or…not sure where this is going, but you can both stop sweating and
replenish magnesium just with a quick dip in the chalk bag. Much more convenient than running
a bath in the middle of your gym session!
Organic Essential Oils
Essential oils have captivated humanity for centuries with their aromatic allure and therapeutic
potential. These concentrated plant extracts are derived from various parts of plants, including
flowers, leaves, bark, and roots. Packed with the natural essence and beneficial compounds of
their source plants, essential oils offer a wide array of applications, ranging from relaxation and
emotional well-being to supporting physical health.
Primarily, the most important aspect of essential oils in Primo Chalk is that they have antibacterial,
antiviral and antifungal properties. The idea of Primo Chalk was actually conceived when the creator
caught a staph infection in the gym, a really debilitating situation which no one should have to
endure. Gyms can be a bit gross after all and you never know who else has been using the
weights before you and who doesn’t take the time to clean up after themselves!
One of the other notable features of essential oils is their ability to influence our olfactory senses
(taste and smell). When inhaled or applied topically, these oils stimulate the limbic system, a
region of the brain involved in emotions, memory, and motivation. As a result, essential oils can
evoke profound emotional responses, promote relaxation, and enhance mental clarity.
Let's have a look at the 5 essential oils we use in Primo Chalk, as well as some unexpected benefits they bring.
Cinnamon
Super antibacterial and also energy promoting, it helps combat fatigue. Essential when you’re working hard! There’s also an added benefit of improved circulation.
Lemon
Need a mood or energy boost? Pain relief? Lemon essential oil will take care of that for you! Not only does lemon provide antibacterial and antifungal properties, it also promotes wound healing.
Eucalyptus
Derived from the famous, Koala bear loved, Australian trees. Eucalyptus, as you probably already know, is famous for its airway clearing ability. Humans have used it for thousands of years to invigorate our airways and breathe deeper.
Rosemary
Not just delicious with potatoes, it’s fantastic for sports too. Rosemary has a
stimulating scent that can improve memory, focus and cognitive performance. It also has an added benefit of being an anti-inflammatory compound, often used in massage oils for its ability to reduce muscle damage and accelerate a post workout recovery.
Clove
Scientific evidence shows that Clove essential oil can kill off the dangerous bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus and fights against candida (yeast). Clove can also treat infections, improve blood circulation, and is an immune booster. This essential oil does it all!
Obviously the main pillars of an athlete are physical training and nutrition, but you can gain an
advantage over the competition with the added benefits in Primo Chalk.
Please be aware of any personal allergies you may have with the essential oils listed above!
Isopropyl Alcohol
Last but not least, the binding agent that combines all the ingredients together for a balanced chalk formula! The ratios between alcohol, mag carb, epsom salt, and essential oils have been lab tested and perfected to the T.
