Three generations of Lister families have been harvesting minerals from Lake Deborah for over 70 years. Their stewardship in Lake Deborah resulted in protection by the Western Australian government within a Salt Harvest Sanctuary. This protection recognized the Lister Family’s long-term sustainable harvesting of Lake Deborah’s unique minerals.
Produced by Nature
Unlike most operations that pump liquid brine from deep underground, or evaporate seawater on an industrial scale, Ancient Lakes minerals are produced naturally at the lake by the earth’s own seasonal cycle. In winter, rain falls and covers the lake dissolving the minerals underneath to form fresh, mineral-rich brine. When summer arrives, the sun and the wind evaporate the water, leaving a mineral-rich salt crust on the surface.
Nature creates concentrated brine below the surface. This brine, also known as bitterns, is loaded with magnesium, potassium, calcium, iodine, zinc, boron, and other essential trace elements. The brine is further concentrated in ponds at the lake’s edge using only the energy of the sun.
Environmentally Friendly
This environmentally sensitive way of harvesting Lake Deborah’s minerals, using natural rainfall and the energy of the sun and wind, gives these products an extremely low carbon footprint and protects the delicate environment of the lake and its surrounding ecosystem.

The Importance of Magnesium
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in your body and is involved in more than 600 different biochemical reactions. Research suggests even subclinical deficiency can jeopardize your heart health. Eighty percent of all Americans are deficient in this vital nutrient.
Studies have shown that oxidative stress, found in patients with Type 2 Diabetes, may be due to changes in the metabolism of minerals, such as magnesium.
Mineral deficiencies such as magnesium are at the root of all diseases. Replacing these minerals can begin to allow the body to heal. Minerals are needed to build bone and maintain structure of the bone. The entire body needs these vital nutrients.
Why have we become so deficient? Magnesium deficient soils are the root cause of many of our health issues; magnesium is no longer in our food. Simply adding our Magnesium bitterns into your cooking ingredients can help increase magnesium levels. About 30 – 60 drops per day will make up for all the magnesium losses on our farms, in our crops, and animals.
Our “bitterns” don’t contain just magnesium, they contain several important minerals. Click here to purchase our Bitterns.

Plastic in our Salt
Not in Ancient Lakes Magnesium and Salt Products.
Salt concentrated from sea water in shallow ponds has been found to contain micro and nano plastic particles . Plastic is moving into our food chain with unknown health consequences. Glad I’m not a whale swimming in it. Lake Deborah salt was deposited over 3 million years ago from winds blowing across an ancient Indian Ocean.
