“The King of the Minerals” Magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2.6H20) is the most soluble and bioavailable natural form of magnesium for cells, requiring no further digestion after dilution. Dissolved magnesium chloride is already in the right form for absorption by tissue cells. It is a TRANSMEMBRANE electrolyte salt which can be absorbed via gut wall in concentration as per spring water, or in larger amounts via bathing and footsoaking. Your gut wall and skin epidermis are both membranes that work as a protective lining. Magnesium bathing offers the opportunity for the body to detox and excrete wastes via skin. You can also remineralise filtered drinking water to increase hydration capacity (tastes great too). Our magnesium chloride (food grade) has much more elemental magnesium (15-16%) than magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts – 9%). Magnesium sulphate can also be irritating to skin and gut, whereas magnesium chloride hexahydrate salt flakes, with the extra 2% sea trace minerals, is much gentler for skin and gut lining. Elektra Magnesium Chloride Flakes are sourced from a pristine lake in the Tibetan Plateau 3,000m above sea level. The salt water is naturally dehydrated in evaporation tanks. It is not extracted via drilling into the mountains as in ‘solution mining’, which introduces contaminants, resulting in industrial grade magnesium chloride. Elektra Magnesium Chloride Flakes are tested in Australia to 10ppb, with no lead nor mercury detected. They are certified FOOD GRADE for use as a food additive.

Benefits of Magnesium Flakes

Magnesium Flake soaking allows your body to absorb magnesium via skin, effectively bypassing the digestive system and gaining faster access to cells. It is wonderfully relaxing - especially after a really hard day of physical or mental exertion. Soak or bathe all your cares away, relieve tight or sore muscles and joints, relax the nervous system, promote better sleep and recover from stress.

Magnesium soaking is a superior method of absorbing magnesium to tissue cells in the case of magnesium deficiency compared to taking tablets and powders, which аrе inefficiently digested and mostly expelled into the toilet. The gut wall can only cope with dilute amounts of magnesium – otherwise the stool liquefies and you lose the magnesium too quickly. Your internal tissue cells in muscle and bone may be starving for more magnesium, but the only way to absorb very large amounts of magnesium ions naturally is to let the skin do all the work via magnesium water soaking, or to apply Magnesium Cream or Magnesium Charge Lotion.

The other great benefit of magnesium flakes foot soaking or bathing is the therapeutic effect of the heat of the water itself. Magnesium flakes soaking is very soothing and relaxing and helps to prepare for a sound sleep if done half an hour before bed time.

Soaking with magnesium chloride flakes (food grade) is very gentle and moisturising for skin compared to soaking in magnesium sulphate (epsom salts), which can leave skin feeling dry and itchy. Magnesium chloride soaking leaves your skin feel silky soft and hydrated.
