Ancient Minerals - Product Application and Usage
If you are using Ancient Minerals for the very first time, please read these
instructions in their entirety before starting your topical magnesium regimen.
Ancient Minerals ultra pure magnesium products contain a high concentration of
100% naturally occurring magnesium chloride and other trace minerals drawn from
the ancient Zechstein Sea, applied topically for rapid absorption of magnesium
into the cells.
MAGNESIUM OIL – Ancient Minerals
magnesium oil
is the gold-standard for quick and efficient restoration of intracellular
magnesium levels. For ease of use, magnesium oil should be applied to the skin
using a fine mist spray bottle. To limit overspray, dispense 1-3 sprays into a
cupped hand and rub into the skin thoroughly.
* For best results, apply liberally to arms and legs to ensure a large enough
surface area for absorption
* If you experience some slight skin irritation, dilute Ancient Minerals
magnesium oil with 1 part water to make a 50% strength solution
* 8 sprays of Ancient Minerals magnesium oil delivers approximately 100mg of
elemental magnesium on the skin
Please Note: After application you may
notice a slight salt-like mineral residue is left when it dries. This is normal,
especially in dry climates or heated indoor areas, and also varies with how much
you are applying at one time. If you do not like the mineral residue left on the
skin, it is advised to apply the magnesium oil 20 minutes prior to showering
each day. After 20 minutes, the majority of the magnesium ions have been
absorbed and you may rinse off the mineral residue. Wiping the skin off with a
damp washcloth is also an acceptable method.
MAGNESIUM BATH FLAKES –
Ancient Minerals
bath flakes offer an economical form for creating a healing magnesium
footbath or full tub bath. Temperature of the water should be warm but not hot.
Hot water causes the skin to eliminate rather than to absorb. Dissolve 1-3 cups
or more of the magnesium flakes into a warm footbath or tub bath, and soak for
30 minutes or more.
* For use in full body tub baths, one can use up to 8lbs of magnesium flakes per
bath for intense applications
* 1 cup of Ancient Minerals magnesium flakes delivers approximately 15g of
elemental magnesium into your foot soak or tub bath
MAGNESIUM GEL –
Ancient Minerals
magnesium gel is a unique formulation designed to remain hydrated on
the skin. Apply desired amount and rub into the skin thoroughly. Most users of
the gel choose to rinse or wipe off the skin with a moist towel after use.
* If the magnesium gel begins to dry up during extended use, wet your hands
slightly and rub your skin to rehydrate
* 1/4 tsp of Ancient Minerals magnesium gel delivers approximately 125mg of
elemental magnesium on the skin
Important !
It is recommended to remove any body lotions, crèmes, and moisturizers prior
using Ancient Minerals, which can hinder uptake of magnesium ions by the skin.
When using Ancient Minerals magnesium gel or magnesium oil at full strength,
avoid direct contact with eyes, mucus membranes, and other sensitive areas. If
redness or irritation occurs, rinse with cool water.
Frequency of Usage
Generally speaking, Ancient Minerals should be used with intensity during the
first 3-4 months in order to ensure proper restoration of cellular magnesium
levels. It is advisable to begin the first few days of application with modest
use, and gradually work up to larger amounts. After this initial period of
restoration, some users feel that they need to use Ancient Minerals just as much
as they were during the first 3-4 months, while others back off to using Ancient
Minerals a few times per week. It all depends on the person, as everyone
responds differently and with different needs.
Magnesium Dosage
Many prominent researchers feel that the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for
magnesium is far too low, and is set at the minimum acceptable level to stave
off deficiency symptoms, not at the optimum to ensure good health. According to
Dr. Carolyn Dean, MD, a highly respected medical authority on the subject,
research over the past 20 years has shown us that even under ideal conditions
approximately 300mg of magnesium is required merely to replace daily losses.
However, as a general rule of thumb, an appropriate daily intake of magnesium
should be approximately 3-4 mg per pound of bodyweight. For a 200lb male, this
would equate to 600mg to 800mg per day. Chronic health complications, emotional
and physical stress, physical injury, athletic exertion, and poor
lifestyle/dietary choices, all increase your daily magnesium requirements. Women
who are pregnant or lactating also have elevated magnesium requirements.
