The source
Where does Zechsal magnesium come from?
Zechsal magnesium for transdermal use comes from the Zechstein Sea. This sea dried up around 250 million years ago. Salt is extracted from the underground salt layers of the Zechstein Sea at various locations in Poland, Germany, and the Netherlands. Most of these sites produce sodium chloride (table salt). In the Netherlands, the best-known source is in Boekelo.
However, within the Zechstein region, there are also a few sources that primarily contain magnesium chloride. One important source of this magnesium salt is located in the Netherlands, near Veendam. This is where Zechsal was founded, and it remains our base to this day. In Veendam, we also work together with the mining company Nedmag to develop unique magnesium products for internal use.
In addition to magnesium, Zechsal is now known for a wide range of health products that help people stay fit and healthy. We use only the purest raw materials and create unique formulations you won’t find anywhere else!
