Original Zechstein Magnesium Flakes 1000 gram

Magnesium Flakes are ultra-pure, highly-concentrated crystals of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) sourced from the ancient Zechstein seabed in Europe. These magnesium flakes are extremely pure because the seabed lies 1,600 to 2,000 meters beneath the surface of the earth, where it has been protected for 250 million years.

The flakes provide high levels of magnesium (47% magnesium chloride) and trace elements from ultra-pure, unpolluted deposits found in this ancient seabed. These extremely pure magnesium flakes offer very low sodium content. Magnesium flakes are especially beneficial when used in baths or footbaths. They are a very cost-effective means to raise levels magnesium in the body via transdermal application.

Applications and Considerations:

BetterYou Magnesium Flakes are ideal for use transdermally (i.e., acting across the skin surface) enabling the body to absorb as much magnesium as it may require. Unlike oral magnesium supplementation (which is characterized by certain limits on the rate and amount of uptake and assimilation), magnesium applied directly on skin via baths or footbaths (i.e., transdermal application) can rapidly and effectively raise tissue (and cellular) levels of magnesium.

Topical application of magnesium oil simultaneously provides energy and relaxes muscles. This means users will be primed for peak performance, being relaxed and energized. Users also report deeper, more restful sleep, reduced stress, and greater well-being.

Because of its relatively lower cost and weight, and higher concentration of magnesium chloride than magnesium oils, BetterYou Magnesium Flakes are the most cost-effective means (costing about fifty percent less than ocean-water sourced magnesium oils) for elevating magnesium levels in the body.

For these reasons, many individuals prefer the flake form of magnesium chloride, especially for use in baths and footbaths. However, BetterYou Magnesium Oil remains a more effective means to use magnesium chloride transdermally when spraying directly on skin.

Directions:

For transdermal magnesium supplementation and relief of aches, pain, soreness, and stress, we recommend you put 1-2 cups (4-8 ounces) or more in the bathtub or footbath, and then soak for a minimum of 20 minutes.

We recommend soaking in your magnesium bath on a regular basis for best supplementation. While 1-2 cups is a desirable starting level, higher doses (up to 32 cups or 8 pounds) may be used in a bath to obtain medically therapeutic results.

For therapeutic application in cases where there is severe depletion of body stores of magnesium, it is recommended that an individual take 2 baths weekly for 4 weeks using 8 pounds of BetterYou Magnesium Flakes.

Note:

The temperature of the magnesium bath should be warm (101 F to 105 F) rather than hot. Hot bath water encourages excretion rather than absorption. When you add the flakes to warm (i.e., not hot) bath water, your skin will absorb the magnesium more efficiently.

Ingredients:

BetterYou Magnesium Flakes contain ultra-high purity magnesium chloride and trace minerals extracted from deposits in the Ancient Zechstein seabed in Europe. The Zechstein seabed is a pristine source of magnesium, and has been protected deep beneath the earth for 250 million years. One cup of flakes contains approximately 51 grams of magnesium chloride, and numerous trace elements from ancient seawater.

BetterYou Magnesium Flakes are an exceptionally pure source of magnesium chloride (MgCl2). Magnesium flakes not only contain high levels of magnesium, but also many trace minerals. When used transdermally (i.e., across the skin), magnesium chloride is rapidly absorbed, thereby quickly boosting magnesium levels in the body. This effect not only can restore healthy levels of magnesium to muscles (and ultimately to cells throughout the body), but also thereby can provide the body with all the benefits associated with high levels of magnesium. Benefits may include the relief of aches and pains (e.g., as in fibromyalgia), increased energy (as magnesium is involved in the production of ATP), support of cardiac tissues and the cardiovascular system (magnesium being a natural muscle nourisher and relaxant), support of processes of detoxfication, support of brain function (which depends upon ATP), improvement of mood and reduction of tension-related stress, support for healthy skin, and numerous other health benefits. Ultra Pure BetterYou Magnesium Flakes are the “Best Magnesium Flakes” for Transdermal Magnesium Therapy.

BetterYou Magnesium Flakes are ultra-pure, highly-concentrated crystals of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) sourced from the ancient Zechstein seabed in northern Europe. These magnesium flakes are extremely pure because the seabed lies 1,600 to 2,000 meters beneath the surface of the earth, where it has been protected for 250 million years. The oil thereby provides high levels of magnesium and trace elements from pure, unpolluted deposits found in this ancient sea.

These extremely pure magnesium flakes offer very low sodium content. Magnesium flakes are especially beneficial when used in baths or footbaths.

Unlike oral magnesium supplementation (which is characterized by certain limits on the rate and amount of uptake and assimilation), magnesium applied directly on skin via baths or footbaths (i.e., transdermal application) can rapidly and effectively raise tissue (and cellular) levels of magnesium. Topical application of dissolved magnesium flakes (e.g., in a bath) simultaneously provides energy and relaxes muscles. This means users will be primed for peak performance, being relaxed and energized. Users also report deeper, more restful sleep, reduced stress, and greater well being.

The use of BetterYou Magnesium Flakes:

Because of relatively low cost and weight, and a higher concentration of magnesium chloride than magnesium oils (i.e., 47% magnesium for flakes versus approx. 34% for magnesium oil), BetterYou Magnesium Flakes are a very cost-effective means (i.e., costing about fifty percent less than ocean-water-sourced magnesium oils) of rapidly elevating magnesium levels in the body. Unlike magnesium oils, the flakes do not contain significant amounts of water. The flakes consequently are a more highly-concentrated form of magnesium chloride than magnesium oil. The flakes conveniently may be added to filtered or purified water (e.g., distilled water) to produce a homemade magnesium oil. In this respect, one of the advantages of flakes is providing you with the ability to create small quanities of magnesium chloride solution as needed, and to produce a solution as concentrated as you may require. These flakes are ideal for travel because they are not in a liquid state and because of their relatively low weight. They are also useful for applications demanding portability and larger amounts of magnesium chloride (e.g., multiple uses or larger quantities per application) than might be available when using magnesium oil. In particular, these flakes are popular with health care practitioners because flakes are easy to store and to dispense to clients.

For these reasons, many individuals prefer the flake form of magnesium chloride, especially for use in baths and footbaths. In addition, many persons enjoy creating their own magnesium oil from BetterYou Magnesium Flakes to a concentration they desire. The flakes provide viable options when considering the flexibility they offer in terms of portability, concentration, and cost. Other individuals prefer to use a prepared magnesium oil that comes in a spray bottle, can be applied directly and immediately on skin, or poured into a bath or footbath. Many people use both magnesium flakes and magnesium oil depending upon their immediate requirements and desires, and what is most convenient to use at the time. Magnesium flakes are one of the most easy-to-use forms of magnesium chloride, providing a flexibility and ease of use that many users appreciate.
