Lúthien said:In France, they sell it in pharmacies in 20g packets. The protocol for using mag. chloride solution is dissolve 20g in 1 liter of water, and drink 30-40 ml every 2 hours for a few days.
Or until your tummy gurgles :) You can take magnesium baths as well or use it in sprays. There are several magnesium forms, there is more info on the magnesium thread. For daily use, I personally prefer magnesium: citrate, taurate, malate, orotate, etc. Leaving magnesium chloride and sulfate for baths or transdermal use, but magnesium chloride can be taken also orally.The early studies that were done with magnesium chloride showed that it is very useful indeed.
Here is a slightly different protocol, but it helps to understand how the dose can variate:

Combining Oral with Transdermal
Dose Sensitivity & Therapeutic Effect
Dr. Raul Vergin offered the following guidelines for oral intake of a 2.5% Magnesium Chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2-6H2O) solution (i.e.: 25 grams or approximately one ounce of pure food grade powder in a liter of water). The quantity of elemental magnesium contained in a 125 cc dose of the 2.5% solution is around 500 mg.
Dosages are as follows:
Adults and children over 5 years old 125 cc
4 year old children 100 cc
3 year old children 80 cc
1-2 year old children 60 cc
Over 6 months old children 30 cc
Under 6 months old children 15 cc
125 milliliter = 4.2267528 ounce [US, liquid] cc and ml are equivalent
Dr. Vergin indicates that “In acute diseases the dose is administered every 6 hours (every 3 hours the first two doses if the case is serious); then space every 8 hours and then 12 hours as improvement goes on. After recovery it’s better going on with a dose every 12 hours for some days. As a preventive measure, and as a magnesium supplement, one or two doses a day can be taken indefinitely. Magnesium Chloride, even if it’s an inorganic salt, is very well absorbed and it’s a very good supplemental magnesium source.”
