Review on Ancient Minerals Magnesium Zechstein Chloride Personal Care by Molly Gunther

Revainrating 1 out of 5

CAUSES HARD HEART AND SEVERE NAUSEA

Instructions say to use the whole pack to soak the body and stay in it for 30 minutes. After 10 minutes I felt nauseous and very weak. When I got up I felt like I was going to pass out and my heart rate started to increase. I ran out of the shower because I didn't want to risk passing out in the shower and injuring myself. As soon as I got into my bed, I almost passed out completely and had to focus on getting my heart rate down. When I googled "magnesium makes me nauseous" I read that too much magnesium can be toxic to the body and it listed all the symptoms I was having. Too much magnesium in the body can cause nausea, palpitations, confusion, slurred speech, and even death. Luckily I felt fine after about an hour of rest, but I feel like they need to be CLEAR and MORE SPECIFIC in their instructions. I'm a petite 110 lb woman and feel like I shouldn't have used the whole bag for my weight. If they were more specific with specific recommended dosages for different weights instead of just saying to use the entire pack, this could have been avoided. I didn't know that magnesium is toxic in large doses and I'm very glad I listened to my body and didn't stay in the bathroom any longer. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS! Not everyone knows the consequences of too much magnesium.
