Seabed Magnesium
The ultimate relaxation and feel-good mineral

Magnesium | Key Ingredient in The|Tides products and treatments

By Annemarie L. Wortman – Co-Founder The|Tides Wellness

The base of The|Tides Wellness products consist of unique ingredients that are known for their purifying, re-mineralizing strengthening and revitalizing properties. One of our Rockstar ingredients that ticks all of these boxes is magnesium and guess what? It is the same molecule that is present in seawater and in our bodies. The benefits of magnesium are numerous. It is an important mineral to keep our brains and bodies strong, balanced, resilient to stress while also providing us with the energy to live life to the fullest.

Magnesium is not only a structural element of our blood, bones, muscles and organs but it is also involved in catalyzing hundreds of enzymatic reactions in our bodies, including energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Enzymes are protein molecules that stimulate every chemical reaction in the body. Magnesium is required to make hundreds of these enzymes work including energy production in the cells.

Studies show that many people in developed countries are deficient in magnesium. One in five are said to be getting less than half the RDA (recommended daily allowance) for magnesium in their daily diets. It is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies faced today.

Why are we so deficient in magnesium?

Stress! Today’s 24/7 connectivity, over stimulation, sensory overload, chemical exposures, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, too much sugar, alcohol and afternoon espressos to keep us going, drain our vitality, strength and immunity and leach minerals out of our system, especially magnesium. As the body fatigues, especially when a diet is not good, acidic waste builds up in the tissues. This acidic waste accumulation causes congestion and eventually breakdown of the tissues and organs. The body also must constantly take minerals from the structure of the connective tissue, bones and teeth to maintain an alkaline condition of the tissue fluids.

Super power benefits of Magnesium

When our magnesium levels dip and become low we can feel stressed, fatigued, as well as experience sleep deprivation  and skin disorders can occur too. Think about magnesium as the ultimate relaxation and feel good mineral which our bodies need to operate optimally. If our magnesium levels are perfectly balanced it can make us feel like we are on top of the world.

Magnesium has many benefits. As a natural muscle relaxer it instantly relieves muscle spasms and cramps, improves the quality of our sleep, reduces anxiety and stress levels and – as it controls hundreds of chemical reactions in the body –   it helps to regulate blood pressure, and keeps our immune systems strong. Magnesium can also help to alleviate topical skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, acne, neurodermitis and athlete’s foot. Magnesium is also essential for the body’s ability to absorb and transport calcium. It aids in repairing and building muscle and bone strength, flexibility and energy. When our magnesium levels get low and there is not enough magnesium available the bones get soft and the muscles get hard and rigid.

As one of the most abundant minerals in the human body, it’s no wonder that the symptoms of low magnesium levels are correlated with so many health-related issues that have an impact on all the body’s major systems.

Magnesium Supplementation

As low magnesium levels can cause a lot of problems, supplementation is one of the best things we can do for our health and wellness. It might sound surprising, but topical application of magnesium spray, gel, or bathing in magnesium are probably more beneficial, than oral supplements to increase our magnesium levels.

According to Dr. Daniel Kenner (Expert on The|Tides Wellness Team) one problem with oral magnesium supplementation is that so much of it is eliminated through the bowel. In fact, magnesium sulfate is used as a laxative. Magnesium hydroxide is used as an antacid. Both these forms of magnesium are not so useful for supplementing the blood and tissues. Amino acids can help magnesium cross from the gut into the blood stream, but in general it is difficult to supply sufficient magnesium through oral supplementation. For this reason, the best ways to get magnesium are through food and to supplement magnesium transdermally by absorption through the skin (for research on transdermal magnesium read more here).

The|Tides Wellness magnesium products | A Dutch original

At The|Tides Wellness we have formulated a beautiful collection of result-driven self-care products, using our very own Dutch magnesium, which has been sustainably sourced from the world’s purest 100 % natural magnesium crust, originating from a 250-million-year-old evaporated sea from the Pangea Era. The incredible therapeutic benefits of magnesium are beautifully harnessed into our products. As the magnesium has  never been exposed to modern day pollution, this unique in the world magnesium is certainly the most pure and natural source of magnesium chloride in the world known to date.

We have processed this effective and potent mineral in a cutting-edge synergy with other ingredients that have a long history of healing such as grey sea salt, seaweed, algae, clay, mud’s, plants, herbs and aromatherapy oils. Our products are not only effective but are backed by science with results that work. All of the ingredients in our formulas are sustainable sourced and 100% biodegradable. They are natural and organic, vegan, unisex, multi-functional and cruelty-free.

Seaweed and Algae | Pure, potent and powerful
 
The seaweed that we use in our formulation is sustainably and ethically sourced on land along the coastline. It 100% organic, thus preserving its nutritional content and undergoes no chemical treatment, contains no preservatives.

The seaweed grows in seawater pools which mimic the marine environment. Clear seawater is pumped from the depths of the sea and after a cleansing filtering process it flows into the seaweed growing pools. The seaweed grows in mineral rich unpolluted seawater and is divided into age groups; the ‘Baby House, the Children’s House’ and the ‘Adults ‘. The unique pools imitate the conditions in the sea, the pools are open to the sun and condensers in the water create wave-like movements. After the growing process is completed, the water is pumped back to the sea. The seaweed’s organic growth is monitored according to recognized international standards

About Seaweed

Seaweed and human plasma are almost identical in their chemical composition. It contains an abundance of minerals, vitamins, anti-oxidants and amino acids (especially iodine). Seaweed is known for its slimming and body toning properties, it promotes detoxification, is deeply hydrating and soothing for the skin and can aid in relieving topical skin conditions. Due to its rich mineral content it is a natural stress buster and relieves muscles pain and tense joints.

Magnesium Chloride | The ultimate relaxation and feel good mineral

The Source

The magnesium in our formulas is a true Dutch original. Originating from a 250-million-year-old evaporated sea from the Pangea Era it is sustainably sourced by just using water pressure. As the magnesium has never been exposed to modern day pollution, this unique in the world magnesium is certainly the most pure and natural source of magnesium chloride in the world known to date.

About magnesium

The magnesium chloride molecule is the same molecule that is present in seawater and in our bodies. It controls hundreds of chemical reactions in the body; the production and transport of energy, synthesis of protein and is essential for transmission of nerve signals, muscle function, healthy DNA, blood pressure regulation and blood sugar uptake. It is in an important mineral to keep our brains and bodies strong. When our magnesium levels dip and become low we can feel stressed, fatigued, as well as experience sleep deprivation and skin disorders can occur too. Think about magnesium as the ultimate relaxation and feel good mineral which our bodies need to operate optimally. If our magnesium levels are perfectly balanced it can make us feel like we are on top of the world.

Can magnesium can be absorbed through the skin?

If molecules are small enough, they can slip through the skin. A molecule smaller than 500 Daltons, can drift through the stratum corneum, the outer layer of the skin - the 500 Dalton rule. Magnesium Chloride ions are significantly smaller than 500 Daltons, at an atomic mass of just 24 Daltons.

Grey Sea Salt | A mineral powerhouse
 
The Source

As we take no short-cuts with our ingredients we researched many different salts and consciously choose grey sea salt. Not only is this salt sustainably farmed but also hand-harvested using a traditional ancient 2000 years old method. This tradition of craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation of salt marsh workers and is still used today.

 How does it work?

Mineral-rich ocean water is channeled through an ingenious channel system to shallow clay swamps acting as a natural purification method, as microbes in the clay neutralize impurities in the seawater. Tests show that the salt is 100 % pollution free due to this time-honored natural purification system. After a journey of 2 weeks in the channels, the salt is collected at one of the many ancient sea beds where it evaporates by the sun, leaving only the salt crystals with over 80 vital trace minerals and electrolytes. As the salt is not washed but sun dried, the refined mineral balance remains completely intact. Many other sea salts are bleached, chemically derived and oven dried which means that many of their vital bioavailable nutrients get lost.

About Grey Sea  Salt

Grey sea salt contains over 80+ vital minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, copper. Bathing in raw grey sea salt helps to detoxify, condition and heal the skin; it increases circulation, draws out impurities, cleanses the skin pores, removes dead skin cells, leaving the skin soft and thoroughly cleansed. It’s amazing mineral content helps to restore the protective skin barrier of the skin, helps to enhance hydration and greatly aides in reducing inflammation. That’s why people with inflammatory skin conditions are often advised to swim in the sea as part of their treatment. Grey sea salt is also a great source of electrolytes, which plays an important role in the nervous system. They are vital for our brain, heart and muscle health. Grey Sea Salt can easily be absorbed through the skin through bathing.

Sea Clay | The Noblest of Clays

The Source

Our clay is sustainably and ethically mined, undergoes no chemical treatment, contains no preservatives and is sun dried which not only preserves its rich mineral content but also does not reject Co2 in the atmosphere. The often oven dried and cheap versions available on the market loose many of its mineral content. The particle size of our clay is only 20 µm which easily dissolves in water and does not clog the drain, when used in a bath. 

About Sea Clay

The clay that we use in our bath formulations contain over 80+ minerals and trace elements such as magnesium, potassium, silica, manganese, phosphorous, copper and selenium and has been used for thousands of years by many civilizations for its cleansing, purifying, re-mineralizing and balancing properties. Bathing is Sea Clay has a cleansing and purifying effect. The ionic charge of our clay is 100% negative and adsorbs and absorbs positive charged ions. Almost everything that attacks our bodies like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and toxic chemicals, is of a positive ionic charge. With its negative charge and very fine texture it draws out the positive charged impurities and toxins while releasing its minerals and trace elements into contact with the skin. Due to its rich mineral content it naturally eases sore muscles, relieves tension in joints and combats fatigue.
