ANCIENT MINERALS MAGNESIUM OIL Ancient Minerals (8 oz spray) $31.00 Ancient Minerals (64 oz) $119.00

ANCIENT MINERALS MAGNESIUM OIL is an exceptionally pure source of magnesium chloride (MgCl2). Magnesium oil is a concentrated, aqueous solution containing high levels of magnesium and many trace minerals. When used transdermally (i.e., across the skin), magnesium oil is rapidly absorbed, thereby quickly boosting magnesium levels in the body. This effect not only can restore healthy levels of magnesium to muscles (and ultimately to cells throughout the body), but also thereby can provide the body with all the benefits associated with high levels of magnesium. Benefits may include the relief of aches and pains (e.g., as in fibromyalgia), increased energy (as magnesium is involved in the production of ATP), support of cardiac tissues and the cardiovascular system (magnesium being a natural muscle nourisher and relaxant), support of processes of detoxfication, support of brain function (which depends upon ATP), improvement of mood and reduction of tension-related stress, support for healthy skin, and numerous other health benefits. Ultra Pure Ancient Minerals is the “Best Magnesium Oil” for Oral Applications and Transdermal Magnesium Therapy.

ANCIENT MINERALS MAGNESIUM OIL is an ultra-pure, highly-concentrated form of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) derived from the ancient Zechstein seabed in Europe. This magnesium oil is extremely pure because the seabed lies 1,600 to 2,000 meters beneath the surface of the earth, where it has been protected for 250 million years. The oil thereby provides high levels of magnesium and trace elements from pure, unpolluted deposits found in this ancient sea.

This extremely pure magnesium oil offers a very low sodium content. Note: Magnesium oil is actually not an oil, but instead is a high-density solution of concentrated magnesium chloride (33%) and trace minerals suspended in pure water. The texture of this mineral-saturated solution is slippery and often is described as “oil-like.” This health-giving solution thereby aptly is called “magnesium oil.”

Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil is ideal for use transdermally (i.e., acting across the skin surface) enabling the body to absorb as much magnesium as it may require. Unlike oral magnesium supplementation (which is characterized by certain limits on the rate and amount of uptake and assimilation), magnesium topically applied directly on skin (i.e., transdermal application) can rapidly and effectively raise tissue (and cellular) levels of magnesium. Topical application of magnesium oil simultaneously provides energy and relaxes muscles. This means you will be primed for peak performance, being relaxed and energized. You also will likely experience deeper, more restful sleep, and awaken surprisingly refreshed, ready for a new day.

Whereas there exist different types and brands of magnesium oil, Ancient Minerals is the purest among them because it is sourced from very deep within the earth. It consequently tends to be far less irritating to skin than other brands due to the purity of the minerals. This relative mildness is especially noticeable when it is used topically, whether applied full strength (i.e., undiluted) or diluted with water, but possibly also when added to lotions or baths.

While magnesium oil is ideal for transdermal application, certain sources indicate that magnesium oil can be very beneficial when taken orally in small quanities. Oral magnesium administration or supplementation is quite common (for example, in capsule form or when consuming “epsom salts”), but magnesium oil offers a safe, effective, and convenient form for oral usage. Individuals considering oral intake of natural magnesium oil may wish to choose an ultra pure, ancient source in order to ensure the highest purity and best results.

Ancient Minerals meets the need for an ultra high purity magnesium oil that may safely be taken orally (when used appropriately). While Ancient Minerals magnesium oil is highly concentrated, its mineral content retains the purity of ancient seawater (but having much lower levels of sodium). Seawater, for example, is renowned for its health-giving properties, many of which relate to its magnesium content. Magnesium oil delivers magnesium in a pure, concentrated form for maxiumum therapeutic and tonifying benefits. Small quantities can yield significant benefits.

We therefore recommend Ancient Minerals magnesium oil for applications requiring direct use on skin (e.g., transdermal magnesium therapy) or when ultra high purity is desired (e.g., for oral consumption). This is the best choice for most types applications (oral use, direct use on skin, and in lotions, baths, footbaths). It is noticeably less irritating or “stinging” to the skin than other magesium oil formulas. Many health care professionals and individuals interested in magnesium oil for health prefer Ancient Minerals to all other magnesium formulas or supplements because of its unique and exceptionally high level of purity. This is the purest magnesium oil available today.

CONSIDERATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

Magnesium oil is the preferred form of magnesium used in transdermal magnesium therapy, a widely-known yet rapidly expanding modality for the maintenance of health. New (and established) studies show that the effectiveness of magnesium oil used transdermally is the safest and most effective means for increasing magnesium levels in the body. Transdermal magnesium therapy using ANCIENT MINERALS is safe, convenient, and effective—and offers the purity and potency of magnesium sourced from an untouched, unpolluted ancient seabed lying deep below the earth’s surface for 250 million years.

MANY BENEFITS OF USING MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE

While magnesium oil used transdermally is an effective means for safely increasing magnesium levels the body, it is particularly useful for relieving sore muscles and joints, and reducing pain related to functional magnesium deficiency. It is also proven for use in helping to calm ‘nerves’ and reduce systemic bodily stress. Because the magnesium in magnesium oil targets muscle tissues (i.e., it is rapidly absorbed by muscles), it is thereby especially useful for replenishing depleted soft tissues and helping restore proper function that may be reduced by less than adequate magnesium stores.

Magnesium is necessary for the production of energy (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate) in the body. When the body receives adequate amounts of magnesium, it can produce the levels of energy required to sustain the body and enable it to thrive. It is precisely because energy (as ATP) is required for the health of human organism that the critical role magnesium plays in energy production is gaining increased recognition by individuals interested in nutrition and natural health. All organ systems depend on energy. A mineral nutrient (i.e., magnesium) that can increase cellular energy thereby has the capacity to improve the health of the entire human body (i.e., all organ systems) via providing the energy for sustaining them all.

Magnesium, therefore, provides powerful benefits to many tissues and organs, including the heart (cardiac muscle), brain, blood vessels, skin, etc. Protocols have been developed for successfully using magnesium oil to help prevent and support conditions as diverse as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, neurological diseases, and strokes. Beyond major degenerative conditions, magnesium oil is proven for use in a variety of general applications, including bruises, cramps (and muscle tension), and migraine headaches.

Magnesium is critical for cell metabolism. It helps to transport other minerals across cell membranes and affects cell mechanisms controlling muscle and nerve cell activity. Research suggests cardiac muscle is more sensitive to magnesium intake than skeletal muscle.

Magnesium is naturally present in water and foods in varying amounts. The US Daily Value for magnesium is approximately 320 mg per day for women and more than 400 mg per day for men. Yet, studies show that most people regularly take in only about half this amount, or less. And now, new research reveals that this lack of magnesium may put your heart — and your health — at significant risk.

One reason for such low magnesium intake is the mineral depletion of our soils. It may take decades (or centuries) to replenish magnesium levels in the soil. The decreased levels of magnesium found in food crops is typically then lowered further by destructive processing methods used, for example, to “refine” grains. Consuming organically-grown whole foods is part of the solution, and magnesium supplements also can play a important role. Yet, adequately replenishing magnesium levels in your body using diet and oral supplementation alone can take months or years. Magnesium oil acts far more quickly when used transdermally (i.e., across the skin) than most other methods (except perhaps direct injection into the body) to raise mangesium levels. In this way, magnesium levels in the body can be restored rapidly by using ultra-pure, ANCIENT MINERALS magnesium oil in baths, footbaths, lotions, and directly on the skin.

Research indicates that most people are lacking in magnesium and that many health issues are related to magnesium deficiency. Also, reduced levels of DHEA, known as the “youth hormone,” is also directly related to magnesium deficiency.

MAGNESIUM FOR RELIEVING PAIN

One of the most significant benefits of using magnesium oil is the relief of pain. Magnesium both works to block pain reception and also can act on the sources of pain. It thereby can positively affect the causes of pain, rather than merely relieving the symptoms of it. Such causes of pain may relate to inflammation, toxicity, cell wall rigidity, mineral deficiencies or imbalances, etc. Some specialists in chronic pain estimate, for example, that approximately 70% of cases in which individuals suffer from muscle pain, cramps, and/or fatigue that is associated with the symptoms as varied fibromyalgia, migraines, and constipation, are showing signs of magnesium deficiency. Indeed, Dr. Mildred Seelig, a pioneering magnesium researcher at the University of North Carolina, has asserted that magnesium deficiency causes much needless suffering from pain, including the pain associated with fibromyalgia, muscle cramps, and migraine headaches (Transdermal Magnesium Therapy 279).

It is relevant to note that muscle, joint, and connective tissue pain can be exacerbated by higher intakes of calcium, and especially when large amounts of additional calcium are taken for the purpose of strengthening these tissues. An overabundance of calcium flushes magnesium out of cells, reducing its availability for reducing pain. In addition, this mineral imbalance can significantly compromise the effectiveness both of calcium and magnesium (i.e., because magnesium is needed for the proper uptake and assimilation of calcium) (see more below). If there already exists a state of magnesium depletion in the body (e.g., due to endemically low levels in the diet), then magnesium levels may drop to exceedingly low levels. In such extreme states of deficiency, magnesium simply is not available to block pain effectively, or to fulfill properly its many roles in the body.

Perhaps the primary reason that magnesium is highly effective for relieving pain is that it is a non-competitive antagonist of the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor site. The NDMA receptor plays a critical role in the bodily mechanisms relating to central sensitization in the spinal cord. This sensitization is involved in the establishment of chronic neuropathic pain. It is notable that a centrally-positioned magnesium ion has the ability to block the NMDA receptor site.

It is equally notable that magnesium not only can block pain at the receptor site, but it also can function to partly or completely act against the source of pain. As Dr. Sircus notes, these sources of pain may relate to inflammation, cell wall rigidity, lack of energy (ATP), or a lack of enzymes (i.e., magnesium is needed for enzyme function thoughout the body). He finds magnesium chloride (i.e., magnesium oil) therefore to be an ideal solution for natural pain relief.

Transdermal magnesium therapy elevates the concentration gradient of magnesium between cell membranes and the extracellular fluid to levels necessary both to block pain reception and to affect positively calcium-magnesium ratios in cells. Dr. Sircus notes that only transdermal (or intravenous) magnesium administration can rapidly elevate magnesium levels in the body in quanities large enough to relieve pain. Given the safety and effectiveness of transdermal application of magnesium chloride, and the ability of individuals to administer magnesium transdermally at home, and in a cost effective way, Dr. Sircus hardly stands alone in his firm belief in the powers of magnesium chloride for pain relief and healing.

MAGNESIUM IMPROVES CALCIUM ASSIMILATION

Ever more scientific evidence points to the importance of magnesium for the uptake and assimilation of calcium. That is, whereas the proper ratio of calcium to magnesium intake once was believed to be 4:1 or 2:1, new evidence suggests that this ratio may be 1:1 or even 1:2 in order to facilitate higher assimilation of calcium. The bottom line is that magnesium is a rate-limiting factor for the uptake of calcium. A higher intake of magnesium therefore likely would increase your absorption of calcium, and thereby allow this calcium to be used, for example, to build stronger bones in your body. Magnesium oil applied transdermally is more rapidly and effectively assimilated than oral forms of magnesium. The application of magnesium oil transdermally, therefore, is an ideal method for improving the health of connective tissues and the skeletal system through greater assimilation of nutrients (e.g., calcium) needed for the maintenance of their structural integrity. ANCIENT MINERALS magnesium oil thereby can help to build, support, and maintain stronger, healthier bones and to increase bone density -- at any age!

One of the reasons for the powerful effect of magnesium on calcium is that magnesium balances calcium in the body. So not only will proper levels of magnesium assist the body in assimilating calcium, but magnesium is needed to balance the effects of calcium throughout the body. In relation to the commonly-observed phenonmenon of osteoporosis in modern, western society, Dr. Mark Sircus notes that it is magnesium, not calcium that is the key to preventing and reversing this problem of epidemic proportions among women, and especially older women. For without adequate magnesium levels, the body cannot properly process calcium, and therefore calcium may be sequestered in the body as calcifications or calcium deposits (i.e., rather than helping bones to become stronger or more dense). These calcifications potentially can be dangerous, and represent an inadvertent consequence of an overabundance of calcium in the diet (through milk or other dairy products, calcium supplements, etc.) relative to the intake of magnesium.

It is well known that the tendency of the mineral calcium in the body is to rigidify or to make muscles and cellular structures more rigid, whereas the tendency of the mineral magnesium is to relax muscles or cause cellular structures to become more flexible. Too much calcium rigidifies the body, and without the moderating and balancing effects of magnesium, may lead to a loss of proper cell function, or certainly to a less than optimal balance of calcium to magnesium (and subsequently to diminished cellular viability). In addition, a high-blood level of calcium (hypercalcemia) is closely associated with various disease states, and its primary origin most likely is a deficiency in magnesium (Transdermal 56).

It is also generally known that mineral imbalances can have significant consequences for health and well-being. While calcium is a mineral very important for health, the public (and doctors, nutritionists, and health care professionals) have not adequately been made aware of the roles magnesium plays, and especially its complex interrelationships with calcium. This lack of awareness is tantamount to a disservice to public health when it leads to ever more calls for increased calcium intake (without comparable recommendations for increasing intake of magnesium) because the evidence shows that increasing calcium by itself is not the solution to osteoporosis.

If increased calcium intake were the only solution, then osteoporosis would not continue to remain such a widespread problem, particularly for women. Magnesium, including magnesium chloride in the form of magnesium oil, can play a significant role in helping health-conscious individuals to improve their bone density and to prevent or mitigate the processes leading to osteoporosis and less than optimal skeletal health.

According to one study, higher magnesium intakes through diet and supplementation was positively associated with higher total body bone mineral density (BMD) both in men and women. It was shown that every 100 mg per day increase in magnesium results in approximately a 2% increase in whole body bone mineral density (Transdermal 57). These results are not surprising given the fact that magnesium in known to strengthen bones and teeth.

Human bones and teeth contain about 1% phosphate of magnesium. Elephant tusks contain 2% phosphate of magnesium, and the teeth of carnivores (that require exceptional hardness for crushing the bones of their prey) average nearly 5% phosphate of magnesium. It may therefore be seen that the hardness not only of bones but also of teeth depends critically upon an adequate supply of magnesium, and upon an appropriate balance between magnesium and calcium.

Magnesium also is needed for the activation of alkaline phosphatase, which is an enzyme involved in the formation of calcium crystals within bone, as well as for converting Vitamin D into its biologically-active form (Transdermal 60). It therefore may be seen that the mechanisms by which magnesium strengthens bones and teeth, connective tissues, and joints, as well as improves the health of skin, are complex and relate both to its unique relationship to calcium, and also to its relationships with many other minerals, including potassium, selenium, and zinc.

MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE FOR HEALTHIER HEARTS

Beyond the roles played by magnesium in helping to prevent osteoporosis and to increase bone density, Dr. Mark Sircus notes that cultures in which the ratio of calcium to magnesium intake is low (e.g., Japan) enjoy superior cardiovascular health and a relatively low rates of cardiac death. Conversely, cultures consuming the highest ratios of calcium to magnesium (e.g., Australia, USA, and Scandinavian countries) exhibit among the highest rates of cardiovascular diseases in the world. It is clear to Dr. Sircus that cultures (and individuals) maintaining high magnesium intakes generally do not suffer from heart-related diseases to anywhere near the same degree in comparison to cultures (and individuals) not maintaining high intakes (i.e., those consuming relatively lower intakes of magnesium). He notes that the Japanese, for example, derive most of their magnesium from consuming sea vegetables and single-cell algae (e.g., chlorella and spirulina), and a wide variety ocean-related food sources. The daily intake of magnesium in Japan may be as high as 560 milligrams. It is also worth noting that the Japanese have among the lowest intakes of calcium from dairy products and exhibit one of the lowest mortality rates in the world.

Moreover, it is notable that the Japanese consume magnesium chloride in the form of nigari, a white powder that is created from seawater after the sodium chloride has been removed, and the seawater is evaporated. The Chinese consume a similar culinary item known as lushui. Nigari and lushui consist primarly of magnesium chloride and include some trace minerals. Nigari and lushui are added to drinking water, miso soups, steamed vegetables, etc. These ocean-derived mineral condiments are also used as coagulants in the production of tofu. It may be seen that traditional cultures whose diets include an abundance of magnesium chloride do not appear to suffer from the high incidences of diseases of the heart that are witnessed in cultures or among peoples where modern western diets are predominant, or in places where the consumption of overprocessed, nutritionally-depleted (and magnesium-depleted) food sources has become prevalent, that is, throughout much of the civilized world.

It is also notable that in North America, for example, tofu commonly is coagulated with calcium chloride (not magnesium chloride). Manufacturers typically tout the nutritional benefits of the calcium contained in tofu. The historical and overarching emphasis (by many industries and organizations) on a single mineral (i.e., calcium) not only reflects a long-term failure to consider the wider, yet well-known interrelationships among minerals, but consequently also contributes to perpetuating the types of conditions (e.g., osteoporosis) it claims to address or mitigate. In this regard, consuming magnesium chloride would be desirable, whether in the form of a powder (such as nigari) or in the form of pure magnesium oil, as a means to balance calcium intake with adequate magnesium. Transdermal application of magnesium chloride (as magnesium oil), however, may present the simplest and most highly effective means for most people to quickly and easily obtain optimal amounts of magnesium they require for abundant health.

MORE BENEFITS OF MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE

Additional benefits of magnesium oil include greater energy, more relaxed muscles (and stronger connective tissues), better sleep, improved mental function, headaches reduced (or eliminated), better reproductive function, better hormonal balance for men and women (and reduced PMS). Magnesium oil also acts as an effective full body tonic. Dr. Sircus asserts that transdermal magnesium therapy is among the very best ways to improve human health. Given the powerful evidence of the benefits of magnesium oil, it is no wonder that transdermal magnesium therapy is one of the fastest growing modalities for the maintenance of health.

TRANSDERMAL MAGNESIUM THERAPY IS
SAFE, PRACTICAL, AND COST EFFECTIVE

Magnesium (chloride and sulfate forms) has been used in the US for more than a century by the medical establishment in a wide variety of applications (e.g., intravenous magnesium sulfate solutions for heart conditions), in sports medicine, e.g., epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) soaks, by alternative practitioners (e.g., transdermal magnesium and various seawater therapies), and by many individuals interested in greater health. Transdermal magnesium therapy is experiencing a revival as a natural, practical, simple, and safe magnesium therapy due to its effectivness in enabling the body rapidly and safely to absorb the amount of magnesium it may require, especially under increasingly common states of magnesium depletion.

Transdermal magnesium therapy allows the body to absorb only as much as it requires. When magnesium levels in tissues reach a sufficient level, the body simply stops absorbing it (and thereby avoiding any problem of overabsorption). In the regard, the body knows best how much to absorb, largely because your cells know the amount they require. Magnesium oil offers an easily applied and assimilated form of pure magnesium. It may be just what you need to restore your magnesium levels. Doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, body workers, natural healers, athletes, and weekend warriors love ANCIENT MINERALS magnesium oil because almost everyone gains benefits from using it. There is simply nothing else that so quickly, easily, and safely raises magnesium levels in the body.

COMPOSITION: Pure water, high-purity magnesium chloride and trace minerals extracted from deposits in the ancient Zechstein seabed in Europe. The Zechstein seabed is a pristine source of magnesium, and has been protected deep beneath the earth for 250 million years. One (1) fluid ounce contains approximately 21 grams of magnesium chloride and numerous trace elements from ancient seawater.

DIRECTIONS: For transdermal magnesium supplementation and relief of aches, pain, soreness and stress, we recommend you put 4-8 tablespoons (2-4 ounces) or more in the bathtub or foot bath, and then soak for a minimum of 20 minutes. We recommend soaking in your magnesium bath on a regular basis for best supplementation. While 2 ounces is a desirable starting level, higher doses (4-16 ounces) used in a bath may produce better results. While you may use the spray pump (16 pumps equals approx. 1,000 mg of magnesium), for baths and footbaths it may be easier to uncap the bottle and pour the magnesium oil either into a measuring cup or directly into bath water.

You can also rub magnesium oil directly onto your skin and into sore muscles. Start with palm-sized amount (1 oz) per day (in a single application or divided applications) and then adjust your dosage as needed. Again, for transdermal magnesium supplementation, we recommend daily usage (or at least until the magnesium levels in the body fully are restored). If using the spray pump, try using 8 pumps for your upper body and 8 pumps for your lower body. Eight pumps (1/4 teaspoon) provide about 500 mg of magnesium.

Individuals vary in their requirements for supplemental magnesium due to biochemical individuality. Therefore, we suggest starting with up to 1 oz per day (for full-strength topical application) and increasing the amount applied until you discover the dosage that best suits your body’s needs. After 30 to 45 days of daily usage, or after cellular magnesium levels are restored or attain a high level, you may find that you can apply it less frequently, perhaps 2-4 times per week (or whenever necessary).

Try adding magnesium oil to your favorite skin lotion. Some individuals report favorable results (and less skin irritation) when using magnesium oil in a lotion. An excellent body lotion may be made using 1/3 magnesium oil, 1/3 organic coconut oil, and 1/3 organic aloe vera gel (whole leaf). Mix these in equal parts into a shaker bottle. Shake well. Apply liberally to skin whenever desired.

MAGNESIUM OIL MORE EFFECTIVE WITH CORE SUPPLEMENTS

ANCIENT MINERALS MAGNESIUM OIL will be most effective when used as part of a complete nutritional supplement protocol that includes core supplement formulas, superfoods, and specific-condition formulas that meet your individual needs. Core nutritional supplement formulas include a multivitamin (such as Multi Two), a Vitamin C formula (such as PRO-C™), and a balanced essential fats formula (such as Omega Plus). Core formulas set a foundation that provides nutrients needed for assimilating and using magnesium oil to its fullest extent. Having a full complement of essential nutrients enables the body to maximize its use of all nutrients, including magnesium.

Dr. Mark Sircus highly recommends Nascent Iodine, which works together with magnesium oil in creating health, supporting detoxification, boosting energy levels, and providing essential nutrients that redress deficiencies pervasive in modern diets. Nascent iodine can increase energy, block uptake of toxic halides (chlorine, fluoride, bromine) (and hasten detoxification of these poisons from the body), support thyroid function, improve immune function, and offer greater protection against numerous conditions relating to iodine deficiency. Nascent iodine works well with magnesium oil because they both are involved in energy (ATP) production, are potent detoxifiers, and are required for good health (yet most Americans are deficient in both nutrients). Nascent iodine therefore acts synergistically with magnesium chloride, powerfully supporting the natural processes leading to optimal health and well-being.

ANCIENT MINERALS — FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

Q: What Is Magnesium Oil?

Magnesium oil isn’t actually an “oil” after all, but instead was coined as such due to the high saturation of magnesium chloride in water, which presents itself in an “oil-like” texture.

Q: Where Does Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil Come From?

Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil is an ultra pure magnesium oil extracted from the ancient Zechstein seabed in Europe, lying 1600 to 2000 meters deep in the interior of the earth. Well protected for the last 250 million years in deposits beneath the surface of the planet, Zechstein is the purest magnesium oil in the world. Indeed, Zechstein is a mark of purity on every bottle of Ancient Minerals.

Q: How do I use Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil?

Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil can be used in several ways:

1. DIRECTLY ON THE SKIN. Rubbing Ancient Minerals directly into the skin in concentrated form is the most economical method of application and offers the most benefits. It is also effective as a massage oil. You can use 1 oz per day (or more) directly on the skin, depending on your needs. This is the fastest, most effective method of using magnesium oil.

Try adding Ancient Minerals magnesium oil into your favorite skin lotion. We also recommend making your own skin lotion. You can mix 1/3 magnesium oil, 1/3 organic sweet almond oil (or organic coconut oil), and 1/3 organic aloe vera gel in a small bottle or dispenser. Shake frequently for best results. This makes an excellent massage lotion and is very convenient for use anytime. Also excellent for travelers or individuals ‘on-the-go.’

2. WARM BATH. Added to a relaxing warm bath, the addition of Ancient Minerals provides a relaxing and health enhancing “magnesium soak.” Add 2 to 4 oz (or more) to a bath. Larger amounts (4-16 oz) typically produce better results, especially when there is great deficiency or a state of depletion in the body. One advantage to a warm bath is that the warm water relaxes muscles and opens pores. This method of administration works particularly well for sore, aching muscles, for example, after strenuous physical exercise. When taking a bath, add some magnesium oil to gain some significant benefits. You will feel the difference.

3. FOOT SOAK. As a foot soak, Ancient Minerals provides many of the same benefits as a full tub bath. Add 2 to 4 ounces (or more) to a footbath of warm-to-hot water. This method of use may take longer to raise magnesium levels than directly spraying or rubbing onto the skin, but can raise magnesium levels faster than a full bath if there is a high concentration of magnesium oil in the water. Soak feet for 30 minutes or longer. Using greater amounts (or taking more frequent foot baths) typically produces better reslts. If taking multiple footbaths per day, you can save and re-use the water, and/or re-charge the footbath by adding more magnesium oil.

3. ORAL CONSUMPTION. Magnesium oil is a very concentrated form of magnesium, and is approximately twice as concentrated as our Trace Mineral Drops. You can take a small quantity daily, e.g., 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (20-40 drops), or more if desired. If the taste is too strong for you, try diluting the magnesium oil in water, or adding it to juices, blender drinks, smoothies, or your favorite beverages. The spray pump is ideal for oral administration.

Tip: Experiment with oral dosages until you find what works best for you. Start with drops, not ounces, then gradually increase your intake. You may notice greater benefits at higher dosage levels. A tincture or dropper bottle works nicely when you're are traveling or on-the-go. Or just use the convenient 8-ounce spray bottle. (Many customers initially purchase the 8-oz spray bottle and then refill it using the large 64-ounce jug.) Start gaining benefits from internal use of magnesium oil today!

Here are Just a Few of the Benefits of Using Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil:

• Restores cellular magnesium levels
• Acts as a cellular protectant
• Supports detoxification
• Relieves aches and pains
• Improves mood and relieves stress
• Encourages healthy skin tissue

• ANCIENT MINERALS Magnesium Oil...For Your Best Health! •

April 29, 2008

Thank you for recommending the Ancient Minerals magnesium oil. It really worked like you said it would! It got rid of the deep, persistent pain in my legs that would not go away. I was taking pain pills before I put the magnesium oil on my legs. After I put in on there, I didn’t have to take the pain pills anymore. Thank you!

— Robert J. Costanza, Green Valley, AZ

May 20, 2008

I have been soaking my feet in a footbath with Ancient Minerals. It has been impossible for me to walk without pain since I had five foot surgeries and four knee sugeries, including an ACL reconstruction and a knee replacement. The Ancient Minerals magnesium oil brings immediate relief. I also suffer from osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. Rubbing the magnesium oil directly into my upper chest, shoulders, arms, and muscle attachments near my collarbone greatly helps to ease my pain in these areas. I am so grateful my doctor recommended I try magnesium oil.
