To take magnesium chloride with the aim of preventing diseases we must dissolve the substance in water. To do this, take a teaspoon of magnesium chloride in a little water, preferably in a small glass such as a shot glass. Also, take the solution on an empty stomach or before a meal.

If it intended to treat lower back or joint pain or arthritis, rheumatism, gout or cholesterol, you should take two glasses of magnesium chloride dissolved in water: the first before breakfast and the second a few minutes before dinner.

For more severe pain, such as migraine or prostate problems, take three doses daily: first before breakfast, the second in the afternoon and the third at night.

Once the discomfort has been reduced and health has noticeably improved reduce the doses to a single solution before breakfast.

It is also important to keep your doctor informed about your consumption, especially if you are using it for long periods due to a chronic illness.

My white blood cell is a little high. Would magnesium chloride affect my white blood cell?
OneHowTo Editor
Hi Bibi,

Studies on rats suggest that magnesium can indeed lower white blood cells, but you should not take it without your doctor's permission as it can have other contraindications.

I have some Magnesium Chloride flake I bought for foot soak, I know I can make oil for the skin, but can I make a solution with water to take internally? It is Hexahydrate. I dont know if its food grade or what, I know it was harvested from sea bed. Thanks for any info or help.

Hi Steven,

Technically you should be able to, but we advise against it. If you are unsure of the quality of the flakes then you should not ingest it orally. They could have other ingredients, even some which are not listed. You also don't know about the conditions of how they were produced.
