1 Pure magnesium Use, dosage, frequently asked questions, hints In this booklet, you ll find information about the dosage and use of Zechsal products. This information is based on current medical-scientific literature dealing with the relation between magnesium and health and wellbeing. These are not medical recommendations, they are simply general guidelines. If you re in doubt or are experiencing persistent symptoms, please consult your physician.

2 Magnesium and health Magnesium occurs naturally in a number of compounds. On average, the human body contains 28 g of magnesium. It s a mineral that plays an important role in our energy management and in more than 325 processes that take place within our bodies. Our magnesium stocks must constantly be replenished and - as of late - it s been revealed that modern-day food contains too little magnesium to provide in our daily needs. Many physical ailments, such as skin conditions, arthritis and muscular pain, but also stress, fatigue and insomnia have been linked to magnesium deficiency. Zechsal products Zechsal products are pure and highly concentrated. They are intended to provide the safest and most convenient method by which the body can absorb magnesium - applying it to the skin (transdermal). 250 Million years ago, evaporation of the oceans took place in the region of the equator. One of these oceans was the Zechstein Sea. The crystallised minerals of the Zechstein Sea are now located 1600 metres underground at Veendam, pure and untouched by man and the environment. The purest magnesium chloride on earth is extracted here. Products originating from this source can easily be recognised because they bear the Zechstein Inside hallmark. This guarantees, according to scientifically determined protocol, that these products come from this unique source. Zechsal products are awarded this hallmark. By packaging Zechsal right at the source, we pass the strength of the Zechstein Sea straight on to you. Zechsal is produced in accordance with EU cosmetics directives. Our products are 100% natural and are not tested on animals.

3 Use and dosage By applying Zechsal straight onto the skin, the magnesium is optimally absorbed and is transported directly to where it s needed most, to the cells of the body. Zechsal magnesium oil Zechsal magnesium oil is the most concentrated liquid form of magnesium dissolved in water. It s called magnesium oil because it has smooth, oil-like consistency. It is easily absorbed by the skin, ensuring distribution of the magnesium ions in the area applied, as well as throughout the entire body. Applications Relief from aching muscles and joints Relief from insomnia More energy, counters fatigue For strong bones, better calcium absorption Relief from headaches and migraines Dosage for local use Apply 3 to 5 sprays to the muscles in the required area to, for instance, prevent cramps. Lightly spread the liquid and massage into the tissue. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for absorption. You can then rinse off the liquid, but this is not a must-do. In some cases, a white residue is left behind after the magnesium has been absorbed. This is not harmful and is easily removed. A light tingling sensation and a warm feeling are normal and indicate that the magnesium is being absorbed. In order to become accustomed to the use of the product, you can initially moisten the skin before application or slowly increase the number of sprays until you reach the required dosage. For optimum effectiveness, daily use is recommended. After all, the body has no method by which to retain magnesium. Dosage for general use Even though local application also ensures the absorption of magnesium into the entire body, the skin on the abdomen and in the armpits are two ideal places on which to apply magnesium oil, perhaps every evening before you go to bed. Do this using the same method described above. Many people experience vastly improved, deep sleep.

4 Note: Our magnesium oil is also available as a sport spray, which comes in a handy take-along bottle. This spray is ideal for use just before or after (sporting) exercise. Zechsal sport spray prevents cramps, strengthens the muscles and keeps the joints supple. Zechsal body gel Zechsal body gel consists of pure magnesium chloride dissolved in water to which a natural gelling agent is added at a ratio of 3%. Due to its unique composition, it has a purifying action and softens and smoothens the skin. It is easily absorbed by the skin, ensuring distribution of the magnesium ions in the area applied, as well as throughout the entire body. It also has gratifying and therapeutic effects. It s a known fact that Zechsal s natural composition has a positive effect on skin conditions and fungal infections. Notable improvements in skin condition are characteristic to treatment with Zechsal. Application Treatment of skin conditions Stimulates skin rejuvenation Relaxation, anti-stress Dosage and use Apply gel to a fingertip and lightly spread it onto the area requiring treatment. It s best to leave it on the skin for ten minutes and then to rinse it off with warm water. Repeat application on a daily basis. The gel is especially suited to the massaging of muscles. Use whatever amount necessary to massage the area for 15 to 20 minutes. Then rinse with warm water. Massaging can be repeated on a daily basis. A gel pack has a double effect. The skin is given a boost and is thoroughly purified, while the absorption of magnesium ensures gratifying relaxation.

5 Many people use the gel to give their feet effective home-chiropody treatments. Spread the gel onto your feet, cover them in a towel to keep in the heat, and allow 15 to 20 minutes for absorption to take place. Zechsal body scrub (topic crystal gel) Zechsal body scrub contains pure magnesium chloride, water, 3% natural gelling agent and salt crystals for a scrub effect. Application and dosages are the same as those of the body gel. However, the scrub also removes dead skin cells. If you have sensitive skin, you should rather use the body gel. Zechsal bath crystals Zechsal bath crystals consist of pure magnesium in its solid form. These crystals are easily dissolved in hot water. The magnesium ions are absorbed into the entire body through the skin. A Zechsal bath has gratifying and therapeutic effect and is a unique experience. Magnesium stimulates rejuvenation of the skin and has a relaxing effect on muscles and joints. After a magnesium bath, your skin will feel smooth and soft, you ll feel relaxed and you ll have more energy. Application Skin conditions, skin rejuvenation Total relaxation, anti-stress More energy & vitality Better sleep Dosage and use a. treatment More than 70% of people who suffer from psoriasis and eczema can benefit from treatment with Zechsal. Research has shown that treatment has an optimum effect when the product is concentrated at a ratio of 3% to 4%. This means that a bath containing approximately 100 litres of water should receive a dose of 3,5 kg. A treatment course involving 8 baths over 4 weeks will yield ideal results. Zechsal gel can be used to supplement the treatment.

6 b. body bath A bath that will benefit the skin, muscles and joints requires a dose of a half to a full kilogram. The same dosage is recommended in order to maintain your magnesium balance. Frequency depends on your personal requirements. c. foot bath More and more people are discovering the benefits of a Zechsal foot bath. You ll need at least 125 g of crystals per 4 litres of water. Regular foot baths are an effective method by which the body can absorb magnesium. Daily stresses will roll off your shoulders and you ll enjoy a great night s sleep. The recommended temperature for all baths is 37 Celsius. The minimum bath time is 20 minutes. After a bath, your skin will feel pleasant and smooth. Please note: because magnesium crystals draw water from the air, your stock should always be well-sealed and stored in a dry place! Frequently asked questions Why is absorption through the skin better than taking tablets? When absorbed through the skin, Zechsal is directly transported to where it s most needed to the cells. Skin absorption leaves the gastrointestinal tract unaffected. The chances of getting diarrhoea a side effect of taking magnesium tablets are minimised. No unnecessary breakdown of the active ingredient takes place and its intake (absorption) by the body is maximised. Should I use magnesium every day? Daily use is important in order to maintain your magnesium balance. We even recommend that you use the oil and gel on a daily basis. When it comes to (foot) baths, a frequency of 2 to 3 times per week is ideal. Can I take in too much Zechsal magnesium? The answer is simply no. Any excess magnesium is just expelled by the kidneys. Persons with severe kidney conditions are advised against the use of Zechsal products.

7 Can I use magnesium oil if I take heart condition medication? Yes. Magnesium is essential for maintaining a healthy heart. It helps the body relax all its muscles and it regulates the absorption of calcium. Magnesium oil is also safe to use if you suffer from diabetes, asthma, cardiovascular problems, irregular blood pressure, osteoporosis and stress. Are there any contraindications to other medicines? Regarding the use of Zechsal, there are no contraindications to other medicines. It can be used during pregnancy, by children and in combination with other medicines. Start off your magnesium therapy with a low dosage. I feel a tingling sensation when I apply Zechsal to my skin. This is not at all harmful, but it can be an unpleasant feeling. In order to slowly become accustomed to the product, you can dilute the gel or oil with water and gradually increase its concentration. A few more hints Apply a small amount, but often Magnesium is constantly used by the body, which doesn t have an effective method by which to retain it. Administering it via the skin allows you to often use a small amount, and this is ideal for maintaining the health of your body. Start off slowly. Apply a small amount at a time and repeat after a few hours. Test it on different parts of your body. Shaving Be careful when applying magnesium oil to the skin on your face or legs immediately after shaving. Although it will aid the skin s healing process, it s sure to burn or tinge. Allow your skin to rest for at least half an hour before application. Application to wet skin The pores are open after a hot bath or shower and the skin will absorb the magnesium more effectively. Wet skin acts as a light buffer. The amount absorbed will remain the same, but the concentration will be lower, resulting in a somewhat milder treatment.

8 Diluting You can dilute the spray by decanting half of a bottle s contents and refilling it with mineral water. However, the addition of water will reduce the shelf-life of the product and you ll have to use it within 4 to 6 months. Original, unsaturated magnesium products have an unlimited shelf-life.
