History begins 250 M years ago

Prehistoric developments

More than 250 million years ago,Zechstein Sea was an inner sea nearthe equator. Over the course ofmillions of years, the sea wentthrough 5 cycles of evaporation andflooding, leaving behind a layer ofthe purest magnesium salt.

PanthalassicOcean

VEENDAM

Zechstein Sea was connected by channels with thePanthalassic Ocean. From there the Tiktaalik was the firstvertebrate that went ashore.

Historical fact

The cyclic evaporations of Zechstein Sea left acertain order of deposits. Magnesium chloridesalt always crystallized as last. Salt deposits with athickness up to hundreds of meters remainedbehind (Fig. A) at the former sea bottom (Fig. B)with heights and valleys.

By coincidence of circumstances

Veendam Salt Pillow, NW-SE section, on the top 2800 m high, with plainmagnesium salt deposits rich in green above the salt layers (dark gray). Recentresearch has established that at this particular location coincidence ofcircumstances has resulted in the deposition of these thick layers of rarely puremagnesium salt.

Zechstein seabed has at the height of the city Veendam V a deepening rift of 400 mdeep (figure). It is clear from recent research that it originated later, after the salt hadalready deposited. Above this rift, however, is the Veendam Salt Pillow (fig.B), the ovaldotted circle, and here also showing the magnesium salt accumulation in 3D see (fig.C)the purple spot.

Create the unique Zechstein source

The genesis of the unique Zechstein source starts shortlyafter the last great evaporation cycle. On the salt flats (blueand red layer) relatively small puddles with magnesiumchloride (gray top) arose (Figure a), the seabed at Veendamcaved in, the aforementioned rift confluence, causingmagnesium chloride puddles from the outline miles away tomerge. (black arrows in the map). In the following millions ofyears, the first deposits above the salt appeared, and saltflowed slowly in NW direction (white arrows in blue). Thesegrowing deposits exerted pressure on the salt packet,causing the first deformations (Figure b). During the growthof more and more deposits, there were also stable periods(Figure c), but later, tectonic forces moved the salt upward:Salt from the valleys and surroundings transformed into“salt mountains”. This resulted in the high concentration ofmagnesium salts in the Veendam Salt Pillow (Figure d).Nowadays, on the NW side of the Veendam Salt Pillow, wefind a unique huge concentration of magnesium salt withpure natural magnesium chloride gathered in layers with athickness up to tens of meters.

Zechstein Magnesium Ancient Life Essential

Magnesium is a Life Essential. Magnesiumchloride that crystallized 250 million years agofrom the ancient Zechstein Sea is an immensenatural health treasure. We all still carry theancient inner sea within us in the form of fluidsurrounding our cells.

Origination by evaporation

▪ Each production batch of Zechstein Inside®, has its own “Certificate of Origin” (CO), with

detailed analyses showing contents in parts per billion.

▪ These analyses are a “fingerprint”, for track and traceability.

Zechstein Source presentation

• The lab with two ICP’s (Inductive Coupled Plasma)

• Nedmag’s lab has the capability to measure trace

elements at ppb (parts per billion) level in a complex salt

matrix

Zechstein Inside Batch Protocol

▪ Zechstein Inside® quality of original natural magnesium chloride is secured and authentic.

▪ The Magnesium Health Institute (MHI) researches the improvement of the magnesium balance.
