Magnesium Chloride Flakes

Magnesium Chloride Flakes made from evaporating the Magnesium Brine which naturally concentrates it to 47%, mix 500g of the flakes with water to make 1L. 

The only claims we are allowed to make are:-

• May assist with magnesium deficiency.
• Magnesium is an essential element that assists in muscular relaxation.
• May assist in the relief of muscular cramps and spasms.
• Magnesium is essential for many cellular functions, particularly those involved in energy production, and for the normal functioning of muscle and nerve tissue.

Can also be used to add to your sprouts to increase the bio availability of magnesium.

The Flakes are a lot cheaper than purchasing the liquid; it dissolves in water in approximately 3 minutes when gently stirred.

Note:-  Because it actually absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, we suggest you store it in a liquid form i.e. mix approximately 0.4-0.5kg with filtered water to make 1 L brine/oil.

Best natural sources of magnesium are:- Fresh grass juice, vegetable juices, seaweed, seawater, green leaves, soaked nuts and oily seeds, sprouted seeds. Magnesium is the central mineral in chlorophyll, which has a similar protein structure as haemoglobin.

Quality of this product.

This is the most pure source of transdermal Magnesium Chloride in the world. This important mineral is sourced from the Ancient Zechstein Seabed in Europe. Over 250 million years old, the reserve is carefully extracted from 2000 meters deep in the earth and is of a very high natural energetic state.

So how do I know if I am getting the best Quality Product? If the Web Site has the worldwide trademarked logo, Zechstein Inside ®, exactly as represented on the left, then they have received permission from the one company that is licensed to supply this high grade magnesium chloride, remember it must be exactly the same not look similar. 

The principal difference between this product and others is that natural processes are used to separate the magnesium chloride from sodium chloride and other impurities; this is not the same case with the other 2 main methods used to extract magnesium chloride.

The 2 other processes used are:-

1. Where it is dug up with bulldozersthis is also the way it is done in lake beds like the Dead Sea (there are not many lakes left in the world that aren’t polluted in some way or another see this link http://www.abc.net.au/news/2010-05-03/jordan-river-could-die-by-next-year/418980 ), it then has to go through chemical processes to separate the salts and concentrate the magnesium chloride parts, this process was developed where it is used for various industrial purposes e.g. spreading on roads to get rid of the ice, this is also why it is so cheap.
2. The other process is where it is extracted from seawater, again it has to go through high heating processes and then mixed with various chemicals to separate the different types of salts. These are generally the ones that are certified food-grade as they are used in the production of tofu etc a bit of a worry but there you go.

Our Magnesium, mines the Carnallite and Bischofite salt from the Zechstein Sea with a unique mining method. From two nearby Mining Sites, a total of 12 wells are being drilled at depths between 1400 and 1800 metres.

The mining method applies two unique features of the magnesium salt: its tendency to creep (deform under small loads) and it’s tendency to dissolve preferentially over sodium chloride.

Injection of water in the cavern mixes up the low density (1 kg/l) with the high density brine (1.3 – 1.37 kg/l) to cause high mixing by turbulent buoyancy effects. The mixed flow does not (or almost not) dissolve sodium chloride, by which the natural sodium chloride (halite) layers force the dissolution to proceed in a sideward direction along the bedded magnesium salts.

The unique creep properties and the relatively low cavern pressures (of an average of 10 MPa (100 bars) makes the salt flow towards the well, hence allowing them to be dissolved once more for production purposes. Since the magnesium salts are squeezed into the caverns like a tooth paste, this method is called “squeeze mining”. The brine from this salt is very pure (less than 1% by weight of impurities like sulphates, sodium or potassium), as a result of the extreme predominant solubility of Bischofite. The brine comes to a density at room temperature of some 1.33 kg/l. Four wells presently produce brine saturated salt Bischofite, rendering very high quality brine, with less than 1% by weight of non- Magnesium chloride salts. These brines are presently used for the production of our Magnesium Liquids with 31% MgCl₂ and Magnesium Flakes with 47% MgCl₂. To turn it into flakes it is heated until maximum concentration is achieved via evaporation and then placed onto cooled rollers which turn it into the flakes.

Bottom Line:- this is the most pure and natural form of Magnesium Chloride available.

The bottom sequence of pictures shows a suggestion for a foot bath I have taken a 36 L storage bin which has wheels and a lid, purchased from Officeworks. I have added 2 tablespoons of Azomite and dolomite each and 250g of magnesium chloride flakes.

The beauty of the system is that the lid minimises evaporation and keeps out the dust, the aquarium heater keeps the water warm and ready to put your feet in when you want, the large size allows you to have enough liquid to cover your ankles, which is also a very good place to absorb the magnesium into your bloodstream as the blood vessels are very close to the skin. It is on wheels so you can just place opposite where you want to use it e.g. I place it next to the TV and then just pull it over to the lounge and put my feet in when I’m watching the TV.

Note:- 1  I have added a couple of dessert spoons of Azomite and Dolomite. Dolomite is also rich in magnesium and the 2 of them contain a wide spread of trace elements and minerals, so just mix it up with your feet when you put them in and your body will absorb the trace elements it needs along with the magnesium. I have also added about 500 mL of colloidal silver to further increase the anti-bacterial nature of the solution.

Note:- 2  you will see that the aquarium heater that I’ve used has a protective guard on it which stops your feet coming into contact with any hot surfaces, if you cannot get an aquarium heater with a protective guard on it or if you just like to be safer, than take the aquarium heater out and turn it off before you put your feet in, and then just put it back in when you’ve finished and turn it back on again.

In my experience if you set it up like this then it is a very easy method, something that you will want to do rather than you have to do, a big difference in how often you will do it.

After a couple of months you might want to clean the liquid you do this simply by putting through a strainer covered in a couple of details and then reuse the liquid. This will get rid of any bits of skin that are floating around in the liquid. When you need to add more liquid just tasted if it feels less salty than at another hundred grams of magnesium chloride. This is a very economical way of using the substance.

Orally

Firstly the magnesium flakes that we sell are only certified for transdermal use.

The products on the market that are certified for internal use are generally the ones that have been extracted from seawater and have been used for a long time to make tofu, this is why they have that certification. They generally come from Japan. If you do the research you will find that the principal difference between this product (Zechstein Inside ®) and others is that natural processes are used to separate the magnesium chloride from sodium chloride and other impurities; this is not the same case with the other 2 main methods used to extract magnesium chloride, which use much higher temperatures & chemical additives to separate the different types of salt & other impurities.

MgCl is best absorbed through the skin however if you wish to take it orally then here is a suggested dosage Take 600mg of magnesium orally per day i.e. 200mg 3 times a day this would equate to 2 mills of the magnesium brine three times a day, or add a dessert spoon of Magnesium Brine to 300mls of water or juice, and drink 100mls with each meal.

ZechsteinInside Magnesium contains:- 110mg of magnesium / ml (Oil/Brine); 165mg of magnesium / gm (Flakes). 1 heaped teaspoon = 8gm >  8x 165mg of magnesium = 1320mg of magnesium.
