Support hormone production, increase energy, reduce muscle soreness, lose stomach fat, and ramp up heart health with Magnesium Oil
Why take transdermal magnesium oil over oral magnesium?
One very
important unique component of magnesium oil is that it increases DHEA levels
big time and is an overall hormone optimizer. According to Dr Carolyn Dean,
author of The Magnesium Miracle “as magnesium is absorbed through
the skin and underlying fatty tissues of the body it sets off many chain
reactions, one of which ends in the production of DHEA.”
DHEA is a
critical hormone for stress management and balancing the actions of the
stress hormone cortisol. DHEA also acts as a back up reserve for
testosterone production. Depleted levels of DHEA adversely affect
testosterone levels.
Oral forms of
magnesium do not increase DHEA levels. I do not have to take Dr Dean’s
word for it as I know for a fact that magnesium oil increases DHEA levels.
Over a year ago I was telling my health practitioner friend Rosemary that my
DHEA levels were on the low end of normal. I have tried DHEA supplements in
the past and never received a significant increase in DHEA levels. Moreover,
I was always reluctant to take exogenous forms of hormones as they
inevitably shut down your own production. I rather maximize natural
production wherever possible. Rosemary recommended that I give magnesium oil
a shot as it successfully increased her DHEA level dramatically. After two
months I had my saliva checked and my DHEA measured at 618.5 pg/ml
(reference range 72-500 pg/ml)! Before the magnesium oil I was at 250 pg/ml
so that is quite an increase. The DHEA also spilled over into a nice
testosterone boost, as my free testosterone levels measured at 181.7 pg/ml
reference range is 30-142pg/ml! The increase in DHEA also resulted in an
increase in androstendione which is a hormone that helps balance the
negatives of the hormone DHT. Thus in addition to ramping up DHEA levels,
magnesium oil is an all around hormone optimizer.
The hormone optimizing benefits of magnesium oil are not the only benefits. According to Dr Dean, “when you are under serious physical and even emotional stress, your body may not be producing a sufficient stomach acid, which is required for digestion and for chemically changing magnesium into an absorbable form.” In other words, when you are stressed your ability to absorb and utilize oral forms of magnesium is compromised. Fortunately, magnesium lotion is applied topically and does not have to deal with the GI tract. The benefits of magnesium are numerous. However, you actually have to absorb the magnesium to derive maximum benefit (or for many any benefit) so why even bother chancing it with oral magnesium? Magnesium Oil is inexpensive and should be part of your health routine today.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Magnesium Oil?
Magnesium oil isn’t actually an “oil” after all, but instead was
coined as such due to the high saturation of magnesium chloride in water,
which presents itself in an “oil-like” texture.
Where Does Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil Come From?
Ancient Minerals ultra pure magnesium oil is extracted from the Ancient Zechstein Seabed in Europe, 1600 to 2000 meters deep in the interior of the Earth. Well protected for the last 250 million years, it is the most pure magnesium oil in the world and a mark of purity on every bottle of Ancient Minerals.
How much magnesium oil should I use?
Here is some info from Dr Dean author of "The Magnesium Miracle"
The rule of thumb for men and women is 6-8mg/kg (3.0 to 4.5mg/lb) of bodyweight per day. That equals around 600-900mg of magnesium per day for a 200lb man. Hard training athletes will be at the higher end of he scale (900mg for the example of a 200lb man and 400-680mg for the example of a 150lb woman).
Due to the increased absorption rate of transdermal magnesium you can cut the recommended daily dosage in half. In other words if you need 800mg orally use 400mg of the oil. 200mg first thing in the morning and 200mg at bedtime.
How do I use Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil?
Apply to clean skin first thing in the morning and before bedtime. I find the legs, arms, and lower back are the best areas to apply it. Each 11 sprays has 100mg of magnesium. Avoid using it on the face or any other sensitive area. You can wash the oil off after 30 minutes as that is all it takes for absorption.
What are the Benefits of Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil?
- Increases DHEA and helps optimize hormones
- Restores cellular magnesium levels
- Acts as a cellular protectant
- Supports detoxification
- Relieves aches and pains
- Improves mood and relieves stress
- Encourages healthy skin tissue
Why use Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil over other brands?
- #1 most recommended magnesium oil in the world
- Rapidly absorbed into the skin
- Easy application in a convenient spray
- Most efficient method at restoring cellular magnesium levels
- Ultra-pure and highly concentrated
Is the magnesium chloride in Ancient Minerals "Pharmaceutical Grade" or "USP Grade"?
While many manufacturers rely on the phrases “pharmaceutical grade” and “USP Grade” to convey a sense of quality to consumers, one must be familiar with their definition in order to have any true understanding of what this equates to. Both “pharmaceutical grade” and “USP Grade” essentially refer to the same thing – the public standards set forth by the United States Pharmacopeia. While there are several aspects of magnesium chloride that are defined by USP standards, arguably the most important and controversial standard is the maximum allowable heavy metal content (i.e. mercury, cadmium, and lead). After all, this is something that is coming into contact with our skin, and these elements are known toxins (even as low as a single part per million of mercury can have negative effects). In the case of magnesium chloride the USP standard allows for a maximum heavy metal content of 10 parts per million (ppm). What this equates to for you the consumer, is that manufacturers can casually use the phrase “pharmaceutical grade” without telling you exactly what toxic heavy metals, or at what levels they exist in the finished product – so long as it is below the USP limit. By no means do we consider this to be an acceptable practice, and certainly not a suitable method to represent the purity of Ancient Minerals. And, for that reason, we refer to the “ultra-purity” of Ancient Minerals as being far beyond any pharmaceutical standard that exists in the world, period. We are completely transparent in our efforts to redefine purity.
I experience some tingling when I apply the Ancient Minerals magnesium oil or gel. Is this normal?
Some users of the magnesium oil and magnesium gel who have sensitive skin may experience tingling and/or some slight irritation at the site of application due to the high concentration of magnesium chloride. This effect is completely harmless, and can vary based on a number of factors, including where you apply it on the body and how much you are applying. Diluting the magnesium oil 1:1 with pure spring water can reduce this effect, although it is a matter of personal preference. Additionally, those who do experience this effect report that the tingling lessens with each subsequent application. Another choice would be to opt for the Ancient Minerals magnesium bath flakes for use in foot soaks and/or full body soaks, which offers a gentler form of use for those with extremely sensitive or broken skin. More information can be found on our product usage guide
Will magnesium applied topically produce a laxative effect like oral magnesium supplements?
No, there is no potential for a laxative effect. This is a fundamental advantage of using Ancient Minerals magnesium products topically, as your skin can naturally self-regulate the absorption of minerals. The laxative effect seen by many users of various oral magnesium supplements is due to an inability of the GI tract to absorb larger quantities of elemental magnesium that are found in dietary supplements, and the consequence is your bowels attempting to flush the unabsorbed excess out. While different people have varying thresholds of sensitivity to oral magnesium supplements, there is zero potential for this to occur when Ancient Minerals is used topically.
Why are oral magnesium supplements so difficult to absorb for most people?
There are two primary reasons. The first, is that meaningful quantities of elemental magnesium from dietary supplements have a tendency to create a laxative effect in the majority of users, which reduces transit time through the bowels. There is good evidence to indicate that absorption of magnesium is impaired when the transit time through the bowels is less than 12 hours. Second, is that the percentage of magnesium absorbed is inversely proportionate to the amount of magnesium being consumed in a single dose (i.e. the more you take, the smaller percentage you actually assimilate). These two factors taken together equate to a less-than-efficient method of restoring cellular magnesium levels in the body.
Should I continue using other magnesium supplements orally if I am also using Ancient Minerals topically?
It is not necessary, but using magnesium supplements can still be helpful if used sparingly. Oral use of magnesium should be used in addition to topical use, rather than in place of.
Do I need to shower or rinse the magnesium off after using it?
Rinsing the magnesium oil or magnesium gel off after use is a matter of personal preference, and depends on how much you are applying and where. Typically, the more magnesium oil or gel one uses per application, the more likely it will be that you will want to rinse it off after the 20 minutes or so it takes for your skin to take full advantage of the magnesium. In addition, Ancient Minerals magnesium gel is designed to not be fully absorbed into the skin, so rinsing off after applying is a fairly common practice. Please see the product application and usage guide for further information.
Are there any precautions for using Ancient Minerals magnesium products?
Avoid using Ancient Minerals magnesium gel or magnesium oil near mucus membranes such as the eyes and nose, which can cause some irritation. Also, while applying the magnesium oil and/or gel to broken skin or wounds can be highly therapeutic and cleansing, the high concentration of magnesium salts can cause discomfort. If you are using Ancient Minerals on broken skin or lesions (i.e. psoriasis, eczema, acne, Morgellons, etc.) it is strongly advised to begin with magnesium baths until the skin had a chance to start healing and become less sensitive to the higher concentration of magnesium chloride in the oil and gel.
Is there a maximum daily limit for using Ancient Minerals topically?
No. As mentioned before, the skin has a unique ability to self-regulate absorption, and therefore overuse is of little concern.
Are Ancient Minerals magnesium products safe to use with children?
Most definitely! Ancient Minerals magnesium baths are the preferred application by most parents, and have been used with great success on children as young as 6 months old. They are not only safe, but highly therapeutic and can calm even the most restless young ones.
Are Ancient Minerals magnesium products safe for animals and pets?
Absolutely. Ancient Minerals topical magnesium products are just as effective on animals and pets as they are on humans. In fact, our magnesium gel and magnesium oil is used in natural and alternative veterinary clinics around the world for everything from wound care, to general health maintainance.
How does Ancient Minerals compare with other topical magnesium products on the market?
Ancient Minerals magnesium products are produced with very strict quality standards, from the purity of the raw ingredients to the production of the finished product. Other manufacturers utilize inferior forms of magnesium from impure ocean deposits and contaminated inland water sources. Ancient Minerals topical magnesium products are recommended by healthcare professionals the world over, and the only topical magnesium brand recommended by Dr. Mark Sircus, Ac., OMD, author of the book Transdermal Magnesium Therapy and director of the International Medical Veritas Association. Ancient Minerals is also the only topical magnesium brand formulated using the exclusive Genuine Zechstein Magnesium Chloride source. .
I have heard that Ancient Minerals is beneficial for skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema?
Correct. Ancient Minerals magnesium products are highly therapeutic and healing to skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, poison oak, etc. Topically applied magnesium chloride enhances skin barrier function, decreases inflammation, speeds wound healing, and augments skin cell hydration. However, if you have broken skin or have a good portion of your body is affected, it is advised to start with magnesium baths until the skin has had a chance to start healing and become less sensitive to the high concentration of magnesium salts in the magnesium gel and magnesium oil.
