Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Thanks for the ace article! There is a bit of a story behind my interest in Mg Chl. A friend was prescribed it for fibro. but the company was charging her £10 for a 20g sachet that lasted a week. Thats £40 a month just for magnesium! Mg Chl is used as a de-icer on roads, so it is hardily expensive. I tracked down a brewery supplier that charges £4.95 per kilo. One kilo should last about a year! I had a long chat with the brewers' chemist, and she explained that they use the Mg Chl to increase the mineral content of beer. So I am not buying road grit, it is definatly food grade! The only catch is, they only sell it in 25 kilo sacks! That is why I posted, asking if anyone knew any reasons why we shouldn't use it. I am off to buy it tomorrow, and I didn't want 25 kilos of something that has a hidden catch! The Brewery suplier is in Nottingham, UK. http://www.murphyandson.co.uk/YeastNutrients/YeastNutrients.htm--- If anybody is interested in buying a kilo of it, I could look into how much the postage would be within the UK. But you'd better email me directily.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 You may find mgchloride from pharmacy at pharmaceutical grade.you may need to give a special order for that but I am sure they can find it as half a kg or 1kg package. bw Nil Re: Magnesium Chloride Thanks for the ace article!

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 From everything I can find, MgCl2 is the most readily bioavailable supplement with no toxicity. Because of the acid environment in the stomach (HCl) all magnesium salts are in equilibrium in the stomach as dissociated ions in balance with chloride ions. I use Mag sulphate because it is dirt cheap.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I see a lot of discussion about magnesium and there seems to be no problem with this. I am assuming because iodine and magnesium somehow work together? Anyway, does anyone know if the magnesium chloride that is used as an ice melt product would be safe to use in one's bath? If it is 100% magnesium chloride, I don't see a problem. For instance the Material Safety Data Sheet says that one particular ice melt product IS 100% magnesium chloride and it looks as safe to me as magnesium oil. http://www.labsafety.com/store/assets/support_documents/msds4033.pdf It is called " Winter Storm® Mag Chloride Ice Melter " but I know there are numerous brands out there. And this is a lot less money for anyone who is going to use it in their bath on a regular basis when compared with anything sold by the supplement or health care industry.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Better to find USP grade magnesium chloride crystals. Can be purchased at aquarium supply stores. Dr. Norm Shealy also sells USP grade Mg crystals on his website www.selfhealthsystems.com. > > I see a lot of discussion about magnesium and there seems to be no problem with this.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 If it really is 100% magnesium chloride, I can see where you might think it was OK. But for internal use, they usually recommend a pharmaceutical grade product. Something like this, that is meant to be thrown on sidewalks (?) is likely to have contaminants, I would think. I mean, I wouldn't expect them to be super careful with something that is going to be thrown on the sidewalk.There is also a problem with the labeling laws. I have read, for example, that drugstore hydrogen peroxide has unnamed chemical stabilizers in it -- even though they don't appear on the label. (Peroxide breaks down over time, & the stabilizers reduce the rate at which that happens.) That is why advocates of hydrogen peroxide tell you NEVER to ingest the drugstore brands. Apparently the laws are such that, since the product is meant to be used topically, they are not required to list the stabilizers. The labeling laws are allegedly different for products intended for ingestion.I'm a coward, but I would be very hesitant. You can buy high grade mag chloride in bulk cheaply enough that I don't think it is worth the risk.AnneOn Apr 7, 2011, at 8:10 AM, Nevada wrote: I see a lot of discussion about magnesium and there seems to be no problem with this.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Yes. The MSDS may say it's 100% mag chloride, but the standards for an ice melting product are way lower than for pharmaceutical/internal use. In other words, the phrase 100% doesn't mean the same thing for every grade of mineral use. For ice melting products, I guarantee the purity required in order to be referred to as 100% mag chloride is nowhere near the purity required for pharmaceutical use. I would NOT use it. On the other hand, feel free to purchase mag chloride from aquarium stores. Fish are so sensitive the products MUST be pure. --V At 12:08 PM 4/7/2011, you wrote: >If it really is 100% magnesium chloride, I can see where you might think >it was OK.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 This is in Central Florida,,,I purchased my Magnesium Chloride from a saltwater aquarium chemical supplier from ebay,,the items used in a salt water aquarium have to be extremely clean. You can check with your local dealer or check on ebay. I make my on mag oil with 1 cup mag crystal and 1 cup hot water. I also supplement with 1 teaspoon 2 times a day of the oil. I have been using this for a long time. > > > >> > >> > >>I see a lot of discussion about magnesium and there seems to be no > >>problem with this.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 What about using magnesium chloride from Vitacost.com? It contains deionized water and lactic acid. Where do you recommend buying mag crystals?
