About Ancient Minerals Magnesium Products
Ancient Minerals products contain a high concentration of ultra-pure, 100% naturally occurring magnesium chloride and other trace minerals, drawn from the ancient Zechstein Sea. * They are absorbed through your skin and into the blood stream which rapidly transports the magnesium into your cells.
Ancient Minerals Magnesium Bath Flakes versus Epsom Salts
Magnesium occurs in the form of various salts. Ancient Minerals products are made of magnesium chloride. Epsom salts are made of magnesium sulphate. Magnesium chloride is regarded as the better choice to get magnesium into the body because of its clinical and pharmacological effects. Magnesium chloride is more easily absorbed and utilized by the body than Epson salts (magnesium sulphate). Magnesium sulfate is more likely to be rejected and excreted through the kidneys, making it less effective than magnesium chloride. The use of Epsom salts is more likely to result in toxicity. **
* The Zechstein Sea existed about 250 million years ago. What remains is an ancient seabed, rich in the purest source of naturally occurring magnesium chloride on Earth. This ultra-pure deposit is located at a depth of approximately 2000 meters, and is accessed from the Netherlands.
