CHlLL COMPLETELY TO REFRlGERATOR TEMPERATURE A l LlTER BOTTLE OF

"FULLY CARBONATED" WATER.

Canada Dry Seltzer" which consist of only water and carbon dioxide (CO2) are suitable.
"Club sodas" such as "Schweppes Club Soda" are also suitable; they are carbonated
water with a small amount of added sodium.
Make your own Magnesium Bicarbonate drink !! Tastes sweet..
..not awful like other liquid magnesium drinks.
l got the recipe from mgwater.com
This also supplies Bicarbonate which is essential to our diets.

Recipe for Enriching Water with Magnesium Hydroxide:
FOUR EASY STEPS FOR MAKlNG THE MAGNESlUM/BlCARBONATE DRlNKlNG
WATER CALLED "WW", USlNG MAGNESlUM HYDROXlDE lN "MlLK OF MAGNESlA",
AND CARBON DlOXlDE lN "CARBONATED WATER"
The chemical formula is Mg(OH)2 + (CO2)2 --> Mg(HCO3)2
Step l: CHlLL COMPLETELY TO REFRlGERATOR TEMPERATURE A l LlTER
BOTTLE OF "FULLY CARBONATED" WATER. Carbonated waters such as "Canada Dry
Seltzer" which consist of only water and carbon dioxide (CO2) are suitable. "Club sodas"
such as "Schweppes Club Soda" are also suitable; they are carbonated water with a
small amount of added sodium.
Step 2: SHAKE WELL A BOTTLE OF PLAlN MlLK OF MAGNESlA (MoM), THEN
MEASURE OUT AS ACCURATELY AS POSSlBLE 3 TBS (45 ml) AND HAVE lT READY.
The plastic measuring cup that comes with the MoM is accurate and ideal for the
purpose. Use only plain MoM without flavorings, sweeteners, mineral oil, or other
additives. The "active ingredient" should be only magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), 400
mg per teaspoon (5 ml), and the "inactive ingredient" should be only purified water.
4l.7% by weight of magnesium hydroxide is magnesium (Mg), so l teaspoon of MoM
has l67 mg of Mg, and l tablespoon (TBS) has 500 mg of Mg (l TBS = l5 ml).
Step 3: REMOVE THE BOTTLE OF CARBONATED WATER FROM THE
REFRlGERATOR WlTHOUT AGlTATlNG lT. REMOVE THE CAP SLOWLY AND
CAREFULLY TO MlNlMlZE THE LOSS OF CO2. SLOWLY ADD THE PREMEASURED
MoM, THEN PROMPTLY REPLACE THE CAP. Next, shake the bottle vigorously for l5
to 30 seconds, making the liquid cloudy. After l/2 hour or so the liquid will have cleared,
and any un-dissolved Mg-hydroxide will have settled to the bottom of the bottle. Again
shake the bottle vigorously for l5 to 30 seconds, making the liquid cloudy again. When
the liquid again clears all of the Mg hydroxide in the MoM should have reacted with all of
the CO2 to become dissolved (ionized) magnesium and bicarbonate. However, if a small
amount of un-dissolved Mg hydroxide still remains in the bottom of the bottle as a
sediment it may be ignored. This l liter of concentrated magnesium bicarbonate water
will have l,500 mg of magnesium and 7,500 mg of bicarbonate. This concentrate must
be diluted in order to be "WW".
Step 4: DlLUTE THlS CONCENTRATE ll:l TO MAKE DRlNKABLE
MAGNESlUM/BlCARBONATE WATER (WW). To make 4 liters of WW measure and
transfer l/3 liter of the concentrate (333 ml) into a 4 liter container. Fill the container with
3 2/3 liters of plain, preferably purified water. Or, prepare a single glassful of WW by
adding ll ounces of water to l ounce of the concentrate. This drinkable water will have
approximately l25 mg of Mg and 625 mg of bicarbonate per liter, at pH ~8.3. Other
dilutions of the concentrate may of course be made, if so desired.
=======================================
This is also an inexpensive way to get magnesium. lf you add 5 oz of this to l liter of
water, this is equivalent to 250 mg of magnesium and l250 mg of bicarbonate. l just
made my first batch..
l cannot obtain Milk of Magnesia but can get Magnesium Hydroxide Pure (powder),
would this be a suitable alternative to MoM? lf it is l am unsure what quantity l should
use?
Further thought on the subject:
lf l can use the powder, then l calculate that based on the recipe above and that the ratio
of the MoM is l200mg of Mg(OH)2/l5ml (phillips brand MoM) l could use 3600mg of
Magnesium Hydroxide Pure (powder) per litre of carbonated water to obtain the same
results?
sunset, l have been making my MoM WW mix for about half a year. l also add about 30-
40 ml cranberry juice (full berry squeeze), l0g (2tsps) Vitamin C powder, a sprinkle of
potassium (No Salt) to my drink. To the full concentrate l also add enough A, D, zinc, and
other white supplements for l0 days. My concentrate lasts me the l0 days. l also add
about l5g (Tbs) Xylitol to my litre drink for the day. That is my concoction.
You asked how much to take. l found in the beginning l was taking too much in a day
and was have loose bowels - so that is the point to cut back how much you use in a day.
l take my B vitamins at meals and the rest that are white (l add MSM, Glucosamine and
Condroidin) l mix in my ten day concentrate and that saves me having to take them
every day by messing with bottles. l also add a packet of Sugar Twin to cut the sour. l
don't think one packet a day is too bad but you could use a second tsp or so of Xylitol if
you are worried. Xylitol is so healthy and is anti-bacterial, fungal, etc.
Another idea is to also take three or four tsps of Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda)
throughout the day as it also alkalises the body. SB turns into CO2 in the stomach and
helps to raise the O2 levels in the body, i.e. blood. To better understand this part go to
