Origin Story.

Our Origin story began in 2023 when Roelof, one of our co-founders, had been struggling with muscle problems for years. A friend suggested he try magnesium, and after giving it a go, the relief he felt was incredible. He encouraged others to try it, and many of them saw amazing benefits as well. This led Roelof and his wife, Renske, on a journey to learn more. That’s when we made an exciting discovery: the purest natural magnesium lies 1,600 meters below the surface, in the ancient Zechstein Sea—right beneath our feet in Groningen!

Powerful Resource.

When Roelof shared this with Chris, a longtime friend, Chris revealed that his wife had just started using magnesium during her pregnancy. That’s when we realized—how could such a pure and powerful resource still be relatively unknown? Everyone should be able to benefit from it! Together, we decided to join forces, and that’s how Origin was born.

Our mission is to elevate your well-being with Earth’s purest magnesium. Along the way, we’ve partnered with Zechstein Minerals and the Magnesium Health Institute, two incredible organizations that share our passion. Together, we’re committed to bringing the story and benefits of this remarkable natural resource to the world.

Earth's Purest.
