Written by Vesna Manasieva, BSc Alternative Medicine; MSc Pharmacology

Incredible Benefits of Magnesium Chloride
WHAT IS MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE AND HOW IT IS MADE
According to Wikipedia, “Magnesium chloride is the name for the chemical compound with the formula MgCl2 and its various hydrates MgCl2(H2O)x. These salts are typical ionic halides, being highly soluble in water. The hydrated magnesium chloride can be extracted from brine or sea water. In North America, magnesium chloride is produced primarily from Great Salt Lake brine. It is extracted in a similar process from the Dead Sea in the Jordan Valley. Magnesium chloride, as the natural mineral bischofite, is also extracted (by solution mining) out of ancient seabeds, for example, the Zechstein seabed in northwest Europe. Some magnesium chloride is made from solar evaporation of seawater… Hydrated magnesium chloride is the form most readily available.” (source)
Micronutrient (Vitamins & Minerals) Interactions
Interactions between individual vitamins, minerals & trace elements can have a significant effect on their absorption and bioavailability and in some cases they may lead to dangerous deficiencies and health problems. For instance, regular intake of supplemental vitamin D will gradually lead to magnesium deficiency with its consequences that initially manifest themselves in the form of sleep problems. For this reason all vitamin D users should be encouraged to take also supplemental magnesium (200mg twice daily) to prevent its deficiency and ensure proper conversion of vitamin D into its active form in kidneys. Below there are many similar examples of various interactions that can be easily solved.

“KRILL OIL, AND WHY AVOID IT” by Dr. Lawrence Wilson: “It is too expensive, and krill unfortunately contains a toxic form of potassium. This is not a healthful substance at all. It is possible that it could be filtered out of the oil, but it is not filtered today. As a result, anyone who uses krill oil or eats krill, as is done in Japan, may accumulate a lot of this toxic form of potassium.” >
