Ancient Minerals Magnesium Bath Flakes - Bathing Alternative to Epsom Salt - Soak in Natural Salts - High-Absorption Efficiency for Relaxation, Wellness & Muscle Relief - 8 lbs

This is my second order of this product. I cannot take another bath WITHOUT this healing agent. I suffer from sclerosis and back pain. The bath helps with the inflammation and stiffness. I also put my mom on this product and she raves about it as well. If you are hesitant don’t be. This product is worth every penny!

These magnesium flakes are a staple in my household! I have both chronic pain and fatigue and I rely on magnesium baths to help with my symptoms. This magnesium compound is better absorbed than regular epsom salts, making them more effective. Unscented too, which is a must for my sensitive skin!

Was referred this magnesium brand from the owner of a supplement brand I love! Brian at Ancestral Supplements said this us the best brand he has found. That was enough for me. This bag is huge but it will go a long way.

Matched exactly as expected. Broken down by ounce, best deal out there.

I was an epsom salt fan until I discovered this very effective replacement. Better with pain relief and also a good night sleep. Don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed with Magnesium Flakes. Be sure to read instructions about water temperature it makes a difference ⭐️

If youre wanting to detoxify in a very soothing way, youve got to try Ancient Minerals Magnesium Bath Flakes. I bought this for my wife to help her ankles and sore feet, however this turned out to be a lot better than I thought. After she tried it for a week (every other day or at least 4 times a week), she had such great feet relief & felt so invigorated as of a sense of total body relief. She had to make me try it. To humor her, I soaked my feet in a foot bath. With warm water, I could tell after several more days of soakings that I didnt feel just comfortable but re-invigorated. What was happening to me as well as her was toxins were leaving our bodies. It really is a wonderful way to not just relax, but feel so much better after a hard days work. We love it!

Magnesium will help relax your muscles and your mind, soak your feet or bathe before bed and sleep. I wish I had learned about this stuff years ago.

I really was skeptical about this stuff since I have tried all the epsom salt bath soaks and they have never given me relief. I started an intense 12 week workout 4 weeks ago and after leg day I’m typically VERY SORE and I toss and turn for 3 nights or so. Last night I soaked in this stuff (3 large handfuls) for the recommended 20 mins and I 1) slept like a baby 2) didn’t toss and turn and 3) didn’t find it hard to get comfortable like I usually do at night because my legs are achy and uncomfortable. I figured in the AM the truth would be told and I would be stiff all over again —— but alas, I felt pretty good! I have fibromyalgia so I am used to waking with crazy stiffness and pain, but these flakes reduced it TREMENDOUSLY. I can’t attest the change to anything else. Tonight I’m taking another bath to see if it gets even better. Supposedly the toxins leave your system as long as you soak for 20 mins at around 100-103 degree temp. It is a must try if you deal with chronic pain or build up of lactic acid in your muscles after intense workouts!

Great destress support to add to the bath experience at the end of the day!

This product is essentially Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate [MgCl2(H2O)6] - the most common hydrated crystalline form of Magnesium Chloride. That makes it approximately 12% by weight magnesium. It is the magnesium in an easily absorbable form that provides the bennefit from this product. Magnesium Chloride is remarkable soluble in water. At high concentrations it feels almost oily or slippery which is why it is called Oil of Magnesium in this form though, there is nothing but water and magnesium chloride. The bag contains eight pounds of snow white flakes about the size of Kellogs Corn flakes. I cannot speak as to the purity of the product, but my impression is that since it is apparently processed by re-crystallization (sort of like table salt is processed) it is probably fairly pure. This product is not labeled for consumption or oral usage as far as I can tell. I make a strong solution of Magnesium Chloride by weighing out 700 grams (1 1/2 pounds) of the flakes in a 1 liter (1 quart US) container. This amount fills the the container by volume when dry. Then I pour in distilled water to fill the container to the 1 liter (1 US quart, 32 US fluid ounces) capacity with the water and calcium chloride flakes. Then stir and let it sit to fully disolve. This concentration happens to equal to 420 mg of magnesium (US RDA for senior men) per 5 ml (one US teaspoon). However, remember that this product is NOT labeled or certified for oral use - this is just a reference as to the strength of this particular solution. Let the solution sit about an hour to be fully dissolved. Then I strain the solution through a clean, fresh coffee filter to remove whatever hasnt dissolved. Then I heat the strained solution in a Pyrex container in the microwave until it just begins to boil. The purpose is to kill any microorganisms that might be present. I then rinse my glass or plastic bottles (and funnel) to be used for storage (after they have been thoroughly washed) in ordinary 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Drain, but do not dry the inside (the peroxide kills microorganisms that might be present in the container). Once the solution has cooled enough to safely pour into the storage bottles you are done. You now have your own mix of oil of magnesium considerably cheaper than buying it pre-mixed. If you dont feel like doing all the steps to be sure you dont have any microorganisms or contaminants in your mix, then buy the already made solution. The primary reason to use the concentrated Magnesium Chloride solution on your skin as opposed to in a bath is for economy. Assuming it takes two to four times the oral RDA equivalent applied to your skin (2 to 4 teaspoons) per day, the cost is around 8 to 16 cents per day at Amazons current price for the 8 pound bag. If you use the magnesium chloride flakes in your bath you will need to use at least 1/4 pounds at a cost of $1.35 per day. While this might feel good from time to time, using the concentrated solution is much more economical! About the product itself: The Good: Product appears to be of good and uniform purity Reasonable cost per pound for what you get. Bag is sturdy, well sealed, and recloseable with an internal zipper type seal. Area for Improvement: It would be great if the supplier provided some indication of the purity of the product.
