Magnesium offers the body a number of benefits from improving sleep quality to balancing blood sugar levels.
A simple way to get more magnesium in your diet is through supplementation if you're not getting enough in your daily diet.
All you need to do is dissolve some of our pharmaceutical grade Magnesium Chloride USP in water and drink!
Learn how to make your own magnesium chloride solution in this quick tutorial below.

 

Note: If you have severe Magnesium deficiency we strongly recommend consulting your Doctor regarding the application rate.

Every person needs different amounts of Magnesium daily.

This depends on many different factors such age, gender, weight, height, current magnesium levels in your body, etc.

For this reason, we recommend consulting your doctor before taking Magnesium.

 

However, if you are taking our Magnesium Chloride USP as a magnesium supplement below are the instructions on how much to drink:

 How to Make Magnesium Chloride for Oral Consumption (Part 1)

How to Make Magnesium Chloride for Oral Consumption (Part 2)

 

Ingredients:

- 33 grams Greenway Biotech Magnesium Chloride USP

- 1 liter of filtered water or juice (personal preference to improve the taste)

 

Instructions:

Mix 33 grams of Greenway Biotech Magnesium Chloride USP with 1 liter of filtered water or juice.

Every shot (about 45 milliliters or 1.5 ounces) of this solution makes one dosage of Magnesium supplement.

Note: This solution makes about 20 shots.

Note: Do NOT use a metal spoon to mix magnesium chloride because it reacts with metals. It's also best to store it in a glass container.

 

 

How Many Shots of Greenway Biotech Magnesium Chloride USP Do I Take Daily?

Note: These numbers are based on a 5'10" and 175 Pounds Male

Age 10-50 Years Old: Take half a shot a day

Age 51-70 Years Old: Take one shot a day

Age 71 Years Old and Up: Take two shots a day (preferably one in the morning and one in the afternoon)

    Rebecca: Thank you for your comment! This recipe is not Ionic Magnesium. Our magnesium chloride powder is pharmaceutical grade and sourced from the Dead Sea. When making our powder into a liquid, the most basic recipe to do so is with filtered water and our magnesium chloride powder. We hope this answers your question!

    Steve: Hello, each “shot” of this solution contains about 1/4 teaspoon of magnesium chloride so you can try adding 1/4 teaspoon to 45 ml or 1.5 oz of water for a single serving. Please feel free to reach out to our customer support team if you need additional help!

    Instead of mixing with water, will it work the same if I mix it with orange juice?

    Cookee: Hi there, thank you for your question! At this time, we do not have research that either confirms or denies whether magnesium is safe for dental amalgams. The good news is we haven’t had any customer complaints regarding this, but we highly recommend speaking to your dentist or personal doctor just to be safe. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

    Hi there! Just wondering if it is still OK to take this magnesium solution if you have dental amalgams? Thanks kindly!

    Andrea: You can absolutely sip your magnesium solution throughout the day. Just be sure to not use a metal water bottle since the magnesium reacts with metal. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out!

    Hi there, I was just wondering if I could pour the MG shot into my water jug (24oz) and sip on it during the day instead of a single shot. Thanks

    Nathalie: Hello, thank you for reaching out! We’re happy you are experiencing success in treating your magnesium deficiency, however, please be aware that while our Magnesium Chloride Flakes are pure and do not contain heavy metals, as our product description states, they are not pharmaceutical grade and should not be consumed orally. If you would like to continue drinking the magnesium solution, we strongly advise using our Magnesium Chloride USP instead. As for the chlorine taste you describe, there may be something in your water pipes or things of that nature causing the water to taste like chlorine. It might be helpful to contact your local water department to notify them of this. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact. We’re always happy to help!

    I’ve using magnesium chloride in my drinking water using a half teaspoon of magnesium flakes to half of gallon of purified water. This is has been serving me well for over a year now. Lately, my water has been tasting like chlorine bleach and I can’t drink it. Can you tell me what’s going on here? Thanks!

    Hi there! Thank you for reaching out. We noticed you mention that you use magnesium chloride flakes to make your magnesium solution, however, since our magnesium flakes are tech grade and not pharmaceutical grade like our Magnesium Chloride USP, we strongly urge you to not consume the flakes. Instead, you can make a magnesium oil solution and apply this to your skin so you would get your magnesium topically rather than orally. You can use a coffee filter to strain the flakes of any dirty parts. We hope this helps!

    Hello, I have been preparing magnesium chloride for over a year and recently, only after a 3 or 4 days, the solution presented yellow flakes in it. Is this normal? I prepare in a glass bottle, use no metal, clean, boiled water and add the mag. at room temperature. After it happened again I threw the bottle out and got a jar but same thing happen. Any idea why this could be happening and what I can do? I also thought maybe the magnesium flakes got contaminated before I prepared the solution but it happened again with a new batch. Might this be a normal reaction/possibly still safe to consume?
    Thank you very much for your advice.

    Alexander: Hi there to answer your first question, we actually suggest taking the magnesium on a full stomach to prevent nausea or upset stomach. Secondly, while we advise our customers to follow our dosage recommendations, they are flexible in the sense that if a half shot in your case for example, makes you feel better than a full shot, it might be best to stick to your current routine. But as always, it may be helpful as well to check with your doctor. We hope this helps!
