How to Make a 35% Magnesium Chloride Solution

A 35% MgCl₂ Oil (MgCl₂ solution) contains 600mg /elemental magnesium in 1 teaspoon -this is the desireable daily dose for most adults(actually requires a 35.36% MgCl₂ solution):

▲  Pour 1 ¼ Cups (~8oz) Magnesium Chloride (nigari) flakes into a one-quart bottle or jar

▲  Add ¾ Cup + 1 Good Tablespoon (~6.6 oz) purified water   - The flakes will absorb the water gradually over the course of 1- 2 hours. You can swirl it around to speed up the process. Once it has reached a murky stage, you can begin using it.

Makes ~ 65 teaspoons - lasts about 2 months using 1 tsp/day

Mixture will feel oily - even though there is no oil in either the water or the magnesium chloride flakes

How to Make a 33% Magnesium Chloride Solution

33% solution contains 33% magnesium chloride in water

How to Make 33% MgCl2 solution using 8 oz MgCl₂ flakes

-   Working in Ounces or Cups.   8oz or ~1 ¼ Cup MgCl₂ flakes contains:

• 8 * 47% = 3.76 oz MgCl₂

• 8 * 50.5% = 4.04 oz water

-   8oz flakes (i.e. 3.76 oz MgCl₂) needs to be dissolved in 11.28 oz water for 33% solution

-   Since flakes already contain 4.04 ounces of water, we must add  ~7.25 oz. water (i.e. 11.28 oz - 4.04 oz)

Summarizing:

To Make 33% MgCl Solution:

-    Add 7.25 oz. (approx. ¾ Cup + 2 Teaspoons) water to 8 oz MgCl₂ flakes
