I started supplementation of magnesium about 4 months ago. I have never been able to stop birth control without cramping during my period. A month after I started supplementing with magnesium I was able to stop my birth control and experienced no cramping during my cycle. This is a supplement that all women should be taking.
@@DrBradStanfield dr brad, whats your take on the brand “biOptimizers” Magnesium breakthrough supplement? It’s said to have all the forms of magnesium?
Maybe you could do one on Zinc also very important and it seems as you get older the body does not efficiently extract enough from food possibly like Magnesium. There is a good video from Dr Bean who talks about prostate health and zinc supplementation. Some cause for the deficiency in these metals/minerals could be that the food we eat due to Round up over use, which lead to these elements being reduced/ removed from the plants and meat we eat. Round up - chelating action i.e used as pipe cleaner prior to a herbicide
I supplement magnesium up to 300 mg / day. It helped me reduce cramps in leg during night and eliminate involuntary muscle contractions (how are these called - tics?) usually in one of my eye lid - strange.
I supplement with the drink Calm (Mg(citrate)). I have also taken Mg with other anions. It helps me sleep and reduces general feelings of general discomfort. I have mild restless legs.
As I got older and for years I had leg cramps and cramps in the 2 muscles that go from the groin down to the inside of knee on both legs. I started taking magnesium an I never have cramps in any part of my legs. I tried electrolytes and other things but nothing worked until I started taking magnesium. May not work for everybody,but it sure worked for me.
Also, magnesium in popcorn is easily absorbed in the gut. The magnesium in popcorn is bound to the fiber in the popcorn, which helps to protect it from being broken down by stomach acid. This means that more of the magnesium is able to reach the small intestine, where it can be absorbed. In addition, the magnesium in popcorn is in a form that is easily absorbed by the body. The most easily absorbed form of magnesium is magnesium glycinate, which is the form of magnesium that is found in popcorn.
@@orthotron The difference between magnesium as an element and magnesium as an essential mineral is that magnesium as an element is a pure form of magnesium, while magnesium as an essential mineral is a compound that contains magnesium along with other nutrients.
Your videos are great. I learend a lot. I supplement my self with; Niacin, dried parsley, TMG, omega 3 Vit D3, K2 & magnezium, Glycin & NAC Melatonin & probiotics. I mixed creatine monohydrate, cacao powder, powdered milk & psylium husk to my protein shake, and I'm planning to add chiaseeds to slow down its digestion. Sometimes I take golden milk or Turmeric milk, but I drink water with pepper before to maximize the absorbtion. I also take olive oil & Apple cider vinegar with meal. But it getting too expensive so I'm looking for ways to lower down the cost while getting the most. So I switch to saurkraut for probiotics. I add ginger to get the senolytic effect, I'm also planning to switch to natto for my vit k2 source. I want to know if I can use epsom salt for my magnesium supplenets? I want to mixed it with potassium chloride & celtic sea salt to make electrolites. So is using epsom salt advisable? And what alternate ways to add zinc to that?
For potassium look for creme of tartar. Turmeric, vit d3, vit k2 are fat soluble. Drinking with water is not effective so only take with fat sources. My electrolyte for high intensity workout is lemon(mg and vitc), creme of tartar(potassium) and sodium (salt) in 700ml water
Best magnesium supplement is magnesium chloride from Zechstein in the Netherlands 1kg powder € 30,- 1 tbs in water every day is 400 mg elemental magnesium !
@@DrBradStanfield Thank you for your opinion on this. I just bought it at the suggestion of Dr. Huberman. How do you compare it to the Magnesium you suggested in the video?
There are many different types of magnesium. I wish he had gone into the different types. I paid out of my own pocket, cash money and got a lab test done to see what my magnesium levels were because I thought I was overdosing. Turns out my levels even with the three different types of magnesium that I take were in the normal range
There's magnesium acetyl taurate and magnesium taurate. The first form, as I heard from another video, is more tested (although not very much), while the second lacks human trials. So you might consider checking data on those before taking.
Magnesium is a alkaline - so it reduces your stomach acid so its best to take it on empty stomach so it doesnt disrupt digestion. If you take it in the morning around your coffee time - it can lead to loose stools (magnesium is used in constipation meds) so take that in consideration too. In the evenings , around two hours after a meal or right before bed seems to be ideal. Just dont take the cheap kind - carbonate - it does jack shit.
They had me on Propranolol for my tachycardia. Sure it helped! Did a great job. But it also had side effects. I read about magnesium and it's benefits. So I decided to try that instead. Guess what? Magnesium glycerophosphate helped a lot! without any noticeable side effects. Now my resting heatrate around 70. Been using magnesium for a year now
LOL,NO! But its based on some good prior scientific knowledge. We basically combine mg with other stuff we know its good - like taurine or glycinate and then claim its good for the brain or for stress (coz taurine is good for the brain and glycinate is good for stress) But the problem is - its very expensive and HARD to prove any of those claims. But magnesium is good over all so it good just to take the form you like and try to see if you feel any results. Just dont take the cheap stuff - carbonate is basically useless (it depends on your stomach acid reactions to free the magnesium ). Sulfate/citrate is good for pooping, but be careful if you are prone to low blood pressure or light headiness.
The best for the budget is buying magnesium chloride flakes (about $10) with 1.5kg of pure magnesium and make it by yourself as magnesium oil, Spraying it on your skin will be absorbed well without causing digestive issues.
sounds like a great idea but does it actually get absorbed. what's the evidence for this. i find taking unbuffered with food has allowed me to avoid the gastro intestinal issues.
In one of your earlier mag videos you had recommended Magtech Brand hoping it's lead free too. Nothing like ordering something "healthy" and reading the label to see " may contain lead", beet powder. Guess we can be grateful some inform us.
Scaring people with "mega dosing" warning without mentioning where that limit begins does a disservice to the public, especially since so many are deficient and magnesium is so important. Magnesium is quite harmless to "overdose", since you will quickly learn to lower the intake when you get diarrhoea if you take to much. Something that actually is dangerous to overdose is calcium. Never take calcium supplements unless you're vegan or have a condition that limits your uptake. Even reducing calcium in food can be a good idea if one eats a lot of dairy for example. By reducing calcium less magnesium is needed since to balance it up. Also Vitamin-K2 supplementation is very important since it helps removing calcium from the blood into the bones prevent *both* osteoporosis and calcification of the blood vessels.
@@DrBradStanfield RDA is obsolete. Recommending minimum requirements instead of optimal requirements makes no sense when it comes to health.

@@DrBradStanfield The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) would be a nice additional info to have in the videos. The optimal intake usually falls somewhere between RDA and UL. The UL for magnesium is 350 milligrams from supplements only + the usual intake from food.
SO...do you take just one tablet of the Cardiovascular Research brand 125mg a day....or do you take their recommended dose of two per day? Thanks in advance for your answer. :-)
RDI is not optimal. It's the bare minimum needed to at the very least not get sick from deficiency... That said, megadosing magnesium is NOT a good idea as you either will get disaster pants or can get intestinal cramps from taking wrong kind of magnesium. Also, different types of magnesium tend to go different areas of the body as that which they are bonded to has greater absorption in different types of tissue.
How does the potential for urinating out excess magnesium & ($) apply to ingesting multiple forms of magnesium. Do you have to overconsume one specific form or is it the cumulative total of all forms you may be taking. I have supplemented with magnesium taurate in the past but am currently taking 120 mg of mag glycinate, 144 mg of mag L threonate and there's 2 mg of mag citrate in my multi. Would adding taurate back in be physiologically feasible or am I already eliminating excess magnesium through urination?
Thanks for the info my good sire. I take ionic magnesium but it doesn’t say if it is taurine, glycinate, or any other form. Is ionic magnesium simply ionic magnesium?
What is the difference between magnesium taurate vs magnesium acetyl-taurate? Is it bioavailability? There is ATA Mg brand using acetylo form. Does it make sense?
You take 125mg of elemental magnesium in order to reach 420mg as you don’t advocate mega dosing. I don’t understand. Are you advocating sub-dosing ? Please clarify as I may have misunderstood.
Dr Stanfield, thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Would you consider doing a supplement video for those with ADHD? I recently discovered that most people w/ADHD have a severe deficiency in Magnesium. Introducing a Magnesium supplement into my diet (six months ago) has been hugely beneficial in obtaining more regular restful sleep (therefore lowering anxiety & impulsive tendencies while boosting concentration). I'm shocked it has taken me this long to discover.
@@Kurio71 That too is my question - in the video he does say Taurate crosses the blood brain barrier too. So, which form is best for those w/ADHD? And is Taurate the same Taurine?
Please stop confusing magnesium acetyl-taurate with magnesium taurate!!! I get fantastic help with my headaches using the former, not with the latter. (You keep highlighting the former and recommending the latter.)
Thx for this info. I've been taking magnesium glycinate from Bulk Supplements, to make sure I reach my MDR. And hoping to eradicate nightly leg cramps (really doesn't appear to work in my case) . I never questioned potential toxic metal contamination. Hmm. May have to switch brands and see if there's a difference. Off to Labdoor i run Thx, Doc! 🌱
hi, fyi i gave Mg Glycinate to my dad for his leg cramps. didn't work for him either. HOWEVER... calcium citrate-malate (which i gave him as a general morning supplement) unexpectedly DID solve the cramping problem. don't know why, but that's what worked for him.
@@jayanti2371 thank you for your reply! Interesting stuff! Last night was my first night since early March, that I was not wracked all night with cramps. It's too soon for me to definitively say why I didn't have them last night, I'll have to see what tonight brings to know if last night was a fluke or if I'm actually on to something. Over the past 2 months I've tried eliminating/adding various things from my diet... both supplements and foods. Nothing worked. So the next try was topical products. One of which is lavender essential oil, which i use as both a fragrance and as an addition to my body lotion. So it was up for elimination to see if it was a cause. Haven't worn it for the past three days, on the second night, i slept thru without a single cramp. I just hope the solution is this simple! If so i will miss the scent, but not the cramps! If it turns out it's not the lavender essential oil, I will definitely give your solution a try. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a reply to my problem. It is much appreciated! 🌸😊🌸
I tend towards Sucrosomial magnesium, and take taurine in isolation. Might look into switching it up. Need to simplify my stack after adding weird stuff like Queuine. I don't want to take too many pills.
For some time magnesium did very good to me physically, then the effect disappeared and I just ended up with the unwanted laxative effects :/ I might try it out again in the future if I find I have a suboptimal amount
The laxative effect comes when there is too much mg at one time for your body to take in, OR you just have enough mg in your body as it is. Too much of a good thing and all that.
magnesium taurate is different than magnesium acetyl-taurate (also called magnesium acetyl-taurinate), magnesium taurate is not really getting into the brains from studies I've seen, the two taurin / acetyl-taurine have not the same effects and should not be be treated as the same thing imo
Where does this dude get his supplements to microdose them I got zinc but it's a 15mg capsule I take every so often to balance out since I don't have a smaller dose to reach my 16mg
If it's a pill you can split it. If it's a capsule you can empty a portion into whatever you want and use it over a certain amount of days. Even if the daily dose isn't exact, you'll get the required dose, just over a longer period than a day.
I am on whole Plant based diet and I get 1300mg of Magnesium average per day .... Its only a miracle I dont get diarrhea from all of that Magnesium tbh. No supplementation for me I guess :P
minerals from plants are not well-absorbed, in part due to the oxalates many plants contain (the mineral binds to the oxalate and passes thru the digestives system in an unusable form), as well as to the abundant fiber in plants (walls off a percentage of the mineral, and the mineral passes thru the digestive system trapped within the fiber).
Link is there? Magnesium together with calcium and vitaminD form the bone matrix. When you are deficient in magnesium your body will remove it from non-critical places. Namely, your BONES. In this mining operation you lose calcium as a result. So, BONE LOSS.
Dude seriously, how many supplements are you taking???!!! If I count from all your videos, you must be taking every day a good 1-2 KG. of supplements alone! 😂
stop promoting supplements natural source high in magnesium pumpkin seed high content banana also good source green leafy good source and lentils beans
Some people aren't able to consume as much fruits and vegetables (e.g., those who need to limit potassium intake). Thus, it's good to know how to supplement, if necessary.
@@pramuanchutham7355 My point is that someone on a potassium restricted diet (e.g. people with renal diseases) may have to severely limit their consumption of magnesium rich foods like bananas, leafy greens, nuts/seeds, or lentils. I have friends and family in these situations and supplementation can be helpful in these cases. Brad's approach makes sense.

Avoid taking magnesium with zinc - they compete for uptake. Avoid magnesium oxide - low bio-availability

If it's a pill you can split it. If it's a capsule you can empty a portion into whatever you want and use it over a certain amount of days. Even if the daily dose isn't exact, you'll get the required dose, just over a longer period than a day.

If you're taking too much magnesium, you will most likely find out via more and more loose stool. Then when you should scale back a bit.
Why so short?
What's your opinion on magnesium malate? And is concramelose a bad additive in your opinion?
I am on whole Plant based diet and I get 1300mg of Magnesium average per day .... Its only a miracle I dont get diarrhea from all of that Magnesium tbh. No supplementation for me I guess :P
minerals from plants are not well-absorbed, in part due to the oxalates many plants contain (the mineral binds to the oxalate and passes thru the digestives system in an unusable form), as well as to the abundant fiber in plants (walls off a percentage of the mineral, and the mineral passes thru the digestive system trapped within the fiber).
@@heidih3048 Even with all those absorption inhibition, I must get at least 500mg of Magnesium. Even if half is bound to oxalates etc.
Link is there? Magnesium together with calcium and vitaminD form the bone matrix. When you are deficient in magnesium your body will remove it from non-critical places. Namely, your BONES. In this mining operation you lose calcium as a result. So, BONE LOSS.
Magnesium Citrate really causes semi diarreah in me, what's best form? Oh, he says Magnesium Taurate?? Ok..

is it true that Magnesium is competing with Potassium so that if you are low on Potassium you can feel side effect of that
Low Mg levels can lead to Low K levels. Due to ROM-K channels in the kidney.
I thought threonate was the one that hits the brain
What about potassium? Show me who reaches 3500 to 4700mg a day?
You’re not taking enough Vitamin D or Vitamin K !!
👍
Interesting maybe ill cut my tablets in half
👍👍
Dude seriously, how many supplements are you taking???!!! If I count from all your videos, you must be taking every day a good 1-2 KG. of supplements alone! 😂
You can check out my supplement page for the full list 😀
stop promoting supplements
natural source high in magnesium
pumpkin seed high content
banana also good source
green leafy good source
and lentils beans
diet & exercise always come first. I personally microdose magnesium supplements just to make sure that I reach the optimal intake :-)
@@DrBradStanfield yes sir
but your channel is good from rest 😍
Some people aren't able to consume as much fruits and vegetables (e.g., those who need to limit potassium intake). Thus, it's good to know how to supplement, if necessary.
@@pramuanchutham7355 My point is that someone on a potassium restricted diet (e.g. people with renal diseases) may have to severely limit their consumption of magnesium rich foods like bananas, leafy greens, nuts/seeds, or lentils. I have friends and family in these situations and supplementation can be helpful in these cases. Brad's approach makes sense.
