| Magnesium Citrate | Oral supplements, occasional laxative | Commonly well tolerated | Often used for digestive support; can loosen stools |
| Magnesium Glycinate | Capsules for relaxation & sleep support | Generally gentle | Amino acid chelate; popular for sensitive digestion |
| Magnesium Oxide | Tablets, antacids | More likely to cause digestive upset | Less soluble; primarily used as an osmotic laxative |
| Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt) | Bath soaks, limited oral use | Topically well tolerated; oral use can be strong | Traditionally used in baths; oral use often for short-term needs |

Topical magnesium is popular for foot soaks, magnesium oil, and general skin application routines.
Magnesium Chloride USP – Frequently Asked Questions
What is Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate?
Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate (MgCl₂·6H₂O) is a highly soluble form of magnesium that includes six water molecules in its crystal structure. This makes it ideal for oral supplements, magnesium oil, and topical uses because it dissolves easily in water and is gentle on the digestive system.
Is this Magnesium Chloride safe to take internally?
Yes. This product is USP Grade and 100% edible, meeting pharmaceutical standards for purity and safety. USP Grade certification means it has been tested to strict pharmacopeial standards. Always follow mixing and dosing instructions and consult your healthcare provider if you have medical conditions or take medications.
What is the recommended oral magnesium chloride dose?
A common preparation is to dissolve 33 grams in 1 liter of water and take 45 ml (1.5 oz) per day, providing roughly 180 mg of elemental magnesium. This can be adjusted based on individual needs.
Read More Details
Always follow the directions on your product label. The recommended daily intake of magnesium for adults is 310–420 mg, so one 45 ml serving provides about half your daily needs. Consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific situation.
Can I use this to make magnesium oil at home?
Yes. To make magnesium oil, mix equal parts magnesium chloride powder and warm water, stir until dissolved, let cool, and store in a glass spray bottle. For convenience, we also offer ready-to-use Magnesium Oil Spray. See our detailed guide: How to Make Magnesium Oil.
What's the difference between magnesium oil and magnesium cream?
Magnesium oil is a concentrated water solution that absorbs quickly and feels wet initially, while magnesium cream is blended with moisturizing ingredients for a smoother, more nourishing application. Oil is best for quick absorption and larger areas, while cream is ideal for massage and targeted dry areas.
Why is Dead Sea magnesium chloride considered high quality?
Dead Sea brines are naturally rich in magnesium and minerals. Our Magnesium Chloride USP is refined from these brines to pharmaceutical standards and third-party lab tested for heavy metals and impurities, providing a clean, consistent, high-purity source.
Why should I avoid metal containers with magnesium chloride?
Magnesium chloride can react with certain metals and cause corrosion. Always use glass, ceramic, or food-grade plastic containers and utensils when mixing and storing magnesium chloride solutions.
How long does it take to notice benefits?
Many people notice improvements in sleep, muscle relaxation, or overall calm within 1–2 weeks of consistent use. Deeper magnesium repletion may take several weeks to a few months. Individual experiences vary based on baseline magnesium status and consistency of use.
How long does one liter of prepared solution last?
When prepared at 33 g per liter and taken at 45 ml per day, one liter lasts approximately 22 days. Always follow the directions on your product label.
How should I store the powder and prepared solution?
Store dry powder in a cool, dry place with the bag sealed tightly. Store prepared solution in a glass container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. The powder is very stable when kept dry. If the solution crystallizes, warm the bottle gently in a bowl of warm water and shake until the crystals dissolve.
Can I use oral and topical magnesium together?
Yes. Many people use both oral and topical magnesium together. Transdermal absorption provides localized benefits and bypasses the digestive system. Introduce changes gradually and consult a healthcare professional if unsure about total magnesium intake.
