Why Zechsal magnesium?

The Best Types of Magnesium

The foundation of Zechsal is magnesium chloride from the purest source in the world, the Zechstein source. This natural magnesium is suitable for absorption through the skin and is also available in liquid form for oral intake. In addition, Zechsal offers other types of magnesium in powder form, without fillers and of the highest quality.

2. Why Is Magnesium Important?

Magnesium is the active ingredient, and it is the third most essential need for humans after oxygen and water. It supports over 350 bodily processes, making it indispensable. Many people unknowingly have a magnesium deficiency due to decreasing magnesium levels in our food, insufficiently varied diets, and various medications that deplete magnesium. Extra magnesium can be beneficial, especially for athletes, pregnant women, and women in menopause.

3. For Skin Absorption and Oral Intake

a. Skin Absorption The quickest and most effective way to replenish your magnesium levels is through the skin. The magnesium chloride in Zechsal’s bath crystals, oils, gels, and skincare products is well absorbed and goes directly to the cells where it's needed. It also purifies the skin and has a calming effect.
Tip: High concentrations, such as in magnesium oil, may cause a tingling sensation on the skin, which is normal and usually subsides. Try applying it to a different area and gradually increase the dosage.

b. Oral Intake Zechsal offers various types of magnesium for oral use, all as pure as possible. Magnesium in liquid and powder forms is pure, easy to dose, and preferable to pills, as your body doesn’t have to break down unnecessary fillers. You can easily add it to smoothies or yogurt, for instance.
Note: Oral magnesium can cause gastrointestinal issues. Generally, magnesium bisglycinate is better tolerated than magnesium citrate. Magnesium Drops have the advantage of being taken in small amounts, which doesn't overload the stomach. The risk of gastrointestinal issues is minimal with skin absorption.

4. Dosage and Usage

We provide guidelines, though dosage is highly personal and depends on body weight, lifestyle, and symptoms. You cannot take too much magnesium, as the body excretes the excess naturally.

  Each spray provides 12.5 mg of pure magnesium, with a concentration of 31%.
  15 to 20 sprays deliver half of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA).

• Magnesium Bath Crystals:
  For a foot bath, use 125 grams of crystals in about 4 liters of warm water. Twice a week is a good maintenance base. For chronic conditions, use every other day. For a full bath, you need half to 1 kg. This promotes total relaxation, good health, and helps alleviate skin conditions.
