There are MANY more benefits and many more studies which show just how important magnesium is. What is equally important is if you decide you want to supplement with magnesium that you choose the best product available. The most popular method is Ancient Minerals magnesium, this is a convenient form of transdermal magnesium, meaning 'through the skin'.

Transdermal is nothing new, as many examples can be found throughout the centuries and from different cultures. Transdermal magnesium is an easy and convenient "do it yourself" method of magnesium supplementation.

More Effective Magnesium Not all types of magnesium deliver the same benefits. In supplement form, magnesium oxide is the most common form of magnesium sold (as a tablet or capsule). This has been shown to have a low absorption rate, having to pass through the digestive tract and a tendency to create a laxative effect in the bowel.

The form of Magnesium Chloride, is viewed by many as the 'master magnesium compound' due to its high potency and efficacy. In the late 1990?s a rare and pristine source of unadulterated magnesium chloride was located in an ancient geological formation – the ancient Zechstein Seabed.

Pure Magnesium Some 250 million years ago the Zechstein Sea was a concentrated inland salt water sea, with many of the characteristics of the Dead Sea today. Magnesium chloride, a natural salt of magnesium, was plentiful in this sea and concentrated by a combination of flooding by sea waters and slow evaporation. Over time, these dense waters found their way deep into underground deposits, slowly accumulating through fissures in the earth over millions of years, trapped underground by overlying rock. Though the Zechstein Sea itself no longer exists today, the Zechstein salt beds are a perfectly preserved snapshot of pure magnesium chloride as it existed in its natural state, millions of years ago.

This is the magnesium used in Ancient Minerals.

As a reminder, these are the claims that were recently authorised and passed by the EU....2013
