What are the individual types of magnets used in magnet therapy products and what difference do they make?
Powerful Neodymium MagnetsNeodymium magnets are known as the ‘KING’ of magnets, and are made up of three metals: boron, ferrite and neodymium. Neodymium is a rare earth metal which is what makes it more expensive. The quantity of neodymium in the magnet directly affects the power of that magnet. Neodymium magnets are known as ‘permanent’ magnets and are far more advanced than rubber and plastic magnets. With its permanence, high energy and depth of penetration, Neodymium leads the field. Due to its power, Neodymium permits a much smaller or manageable magnet to be applied to the parts of the body requiring magnetic energy. They should be used for soft tissue damage and on deep tissue areas of the body such as backs, knees, hips, shoulders etc. Top quality neodymium’s can have a CORE rating of 12,300 gauss and a SURFACE gauss of 1,200. Norstar Neodymium Magnets have a central core value of 12,300 gauss with a surface output of between 1,200 – 1,500 gauss. Despite their cost, Neodymium m
