Magnesium Chloride (1 lb), Eco-Friendly Packaging, Crystal Powder, Magnesium Supplement

I was tired of paying $19.99+ for 8oz bottles of liquid magnesium over and over and over. I'm sure it costs pennies to produce, people ain't rich manufacturers! I liked the magnesium chloride flakes for making my own magnesium oil but wasn't sure I should make an oral supplement out of that so I found this pharmaceutical grade magnesium chloride powder (haha, for all I know they're exactly the same!). The recipe says to use 5t. in 20oz of water (or so) but I use 5t in my 8oz bottle of empty liquid mag from another seller, add filtered water to top it off. Doesn't taste as bad as some of the more concentrated versions. I CAN decide to concentrate it more if I want to take a smaller dose. I usually just pour a half-shot or so of my own particular recipe into my mouth straight from the bottle, not touching it to my lips, my own convenient method, then chase it w/gulps of water. Doesn't burn a hole in my tongue like the more concentrated mag liquids. Doesn't give me any extra trips to the bathroom despite it being more concentrated than suggested. You can also add 1/4t. to your large bottle of water. Will make your water taste more like hard water but I've gotten used to it & actually prefer it now. Can make mag oil out of this powder as well, spraying this on your skin will get mag immediately into your body, useful for sore muscles from unusual physical activity. My mom sprays mag oil on her arthritic wrist and it feels better all day. She has to spray it every day to have this effect. I think this form of magnesium is better than pills, I used to take pills of various kinds: Mag citrate, taurate, glycinate (never oxide, cannot assimilate but 4% of it) but feel the liquid is more easily absorbed/bioavailable for the body. Magnesium has helped me be done with recurring tendonitis and bursitis from calcification in joints. Dr.'s could not help me with that problem that kept coming around every few years, they scratched their heads and said they did not know what causes calcification in joints. :0/ Well, after doing my own research I discovered that calcium runs rampant all over your body when not combined with companion supplements that assist in getting the calcium into your bones. (ob/gyn says take 2400mg of calcium--4 GIANT horse pills of calcium, but doesn't say ANYTHING about balancing it properly w/equal amounts of magnesium. I only took 1200 of the calcium horse pills and it caused the calcification in my joints.) The calcium alone has no way to get into your bones, is essentially homeless so it sets up its little homeless tent in your joints until you aggravate it with a lot of physical activity then it gets psst off and inflames your joints until you're a blubbering crying idiot walking around your house in extreme pain if you even THINK about moving that joint. Then your dr. says take 800mg of ibuprofen around the clock to reduce inflammation (which you HAVE to do or die in pain w/useless dangling arm from shoulder tendinitis) until you get GERD from the ibuprofen. At least you're semi-fixed in few months or so because the ibuprofen calmed the inflammation in your joints. But then you have GERD and a whole 'nother health issue to deal with. Long story long, make sure you take magnesium!!!!!, if you're taking calcium. And even if you're not. And if you REALLY want to do your bones a favor, take vitamin D and vitamin K2 with your mag/calcium. That will get the calcium into your bones. Boron doesn't hurt either. Magnesium is deficient in nearly every American diet. Cannot get it from stripped soils and weird growing mediums that beautiful (but nutrition-less?) produce is grown in. Even the organic veggies I wonder about, they're grown in strange little containers of whatever growing medium, not good old dirty-dirt enriched m/manure from animals that ate grass. Magnesium addresses anxiety (feel tense? is that your normal state? you need magnesium), diabetes, thyroid (both rampant these days), heart problems (fixed my heart palpitations) and atherosclerosis, high blood pressure and more. A lifetime of not having enough magnesium (and other minerals like potassium) takes its toll. Dr's will say its "because you're getting older" because they don't know why you have aches & pains & new illness. Mostly its a lifetime of a mineral-deficient diet & too much sugar. Our bodies truly are magnificent and take so much crap from the SAD (standard American diet) before health problems start to shut it down. I recommend this product

Used this in some detox baths - felt great!

I'm making 32 oz (1-quart) of Magnesium "water," with magnesium chloride. Not Epsom salts (magnesium bicarbonate). This is from an older (original) recipe that makes 1 liter. In the US, 32-oz bottles are easy to find, and an empty Gatorade bottle is fine. The problem is finding magnesium *chloride." Especially laboratory grade, fit for internal consumption. I learned that when a product says "flakes," it's Epsom salts, meant to be in a bath and absorbed by the skin. That's why it seems so cheap compared to real, "Food Grade" magnesium chloride. The Pure Original company explicitly states that this product is safe for internal use. I bought it and made the "water." The dose is about 1 oz thereabouts, one time a day. It tastes Awful!! :-) But it's absolutely helping, by preventing excess calcium floating all over the bloodstream. That's how people end up with calcified arteries -- not enough magnesium. On a trial, thinking I might save some money, I bought a different company's magnesium chloride. It didn't taste the same -- awful as it may be, I was used to it. That led to a great deal of research. With analysis, I realized I would be using twice as much of the new product, which costs half as much. So the two products were going to cost the same. However, I really didn't like the taste of the new powder at all! Why? It turns out that magnesium chloride comes in two forms: Magnesium Chloride (hexahydrate), or Anhydrous Magnesium Chloride. Looking at the front label from the Pure Original Company, it says right there that this is the hexahydrate form. The other company, on the ingredients list stated that it was magnesium chloride from Anhydrous magnesium. The dose requirement is twice as much as the hexahydrate form. Plus, with that amount of powder (like 65 grams!) it's why the water tasted a lot more awful. Okay so I learned, and switched back to Pure Original company. And threw out the bigger jar of the other stuff. I made the water again, and now it tastes right. And not so bad, after all. :-) Still pretty awful, though. Like swamp water! There are all sorts of recipes out there on the Web nowadays. Many of them propose using Epsom salts (bicarbonate), which is pretty unhealthy actually. The long-ago original recipe was 33 grams (3 level Tablespoons) of Magnesium Chloride (hexahydrate) in 1 liter of (distilled) water. I don't see the need for distilled, as the well-water here is very good. In a glass bottle, because over many years, magnesium degrades plastic. I drink 32oz in about 1 month, so there's no chance the magnesium will degrade. Quality plastic bottles are fine. Magnesium is extremely friendly with moisture! It will easily turn to rock just from humidity, even with those little drying packets. Pure Original packs this in a foil-lined sealed paper envelope. But I've learned to dump it into a ZipLoc (brand) 1-quart Freezer bag, and store it in the fridge. Those are heavier, food-grade plastic bags, and airtight. Even there it slowly hardens, but like sugar, if it's in a plastic bag you can use a rolling pin to break it up again. One package lasts months and months, and I'm sticking with the hexahydrate form! Even though it tastes pretty awful. Just shoot down that 1-oz shot, and take some plain water as a chaser. You'll be fine. :-)

I use this on my Lion’s Diet. It’s easy to seal and use.
