Description
Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil Ultra contains highly concentrated, completely pure magnesium chloride extracted from the fossilized seabed of Zechstein, 1,600 to 2,000 m underground in what is now the Netherlands. Well protected for the past 250 million years, it is the purest source of magnesium available.
Transdermal magnesium
Magnesium oil is a transdermal magnesium supplement, specially developed to provide the body with magnesium through the skin, thereby bypassing the digestive system.
This allows for rapid absorption into the cells without causing loose stools. Magnesium oil is not an "oil" as the name suggests, but is nevertheless called this because the high concentration of magnesium chloride in water gives it an oil-like consistency.
Nutritional information
118 ml of liquid per bottle. 1 ml (six sprays) contains 100 mg (27% RI) of elemental magnesium.
Ingredients
Water, Zechstein magnesium chloride. It is called magnesium oil, but it contains no oil, only the ingredients listed above.
This is magnesium chloride. It is not produced as a form of magnesium taken as a supplement, such as magnesium glycinate (bound to an amino acid), but is a naturally occurring form of magnesium that can be used on the skin. It is found in large quantities in seawater. Genuine Zechstein® magnesium chloride is extracted from ancient underground deposits of magnesium salts in the geological formation of the ancient Zechstein Sea, at a depth of approximately 1,600 meters.
Usage
Apply magnesium oil by spraying it directly onto the body or 1-3 times into the palm of your hand, then rub it thoroughly into the skin. Repeat and apply to your arms, legs, and any problem areas. Avoid the face, eyes, eczema, and open wounds.
Note: If you have sensitive skin, you may experience a slight tingling or stinging sensation after application; this is harmless. If you have very sensitive skin, we recommend magnesium lotion. It is significantly milder. For best absorption, vary the areas of skin where you apply it.
NoteAfter rubbing it in, you may notice a slightly salty mineral residue left behind as the solution dries on the skin. This is normal, especially in dry climates and heated indoor areas. If you want to avoid this, apply the magnesium oil 20 minutes before showering. After 20 minutes, most of the magnesium ions will have been absorbed, and you can rinse off the solution. You can also remove the mineral residue after 20 minutes by wiping the skin with a damp washcloth.
