I am taking magnesium glycinate for the last 1 yrs. It's great for me 'my mom who is 84 yrs suffering from brain''''' her doctors medicine can't calm her down roaming around the home at midnight ''' I gave her magnesium glycinate at bedtimes from the last one months It's magic she sleep every night like a baby her mental problem almost gone''' Thanks 🙏
Dr Berg notes: Magnesium is involved in hundreds of biochemical reactions that help prevent common problems such as atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, insomnia, heart disease, leg cramps, and fatigue. Many people are magnesium deficient, but it’s almost impossible to test! Only 1% of your magnesium is in the blood-the rest is inside the cells. Some common causes of magnesium deficiency include: •Genetic weakness •Low stomach acid •Prediabetes or diabetes Magnesium depends on vitamin D, which many people have a genetic problem with. Vitamin D deficiency inhibits the proper function of magnesium in the body. You need a minimum of 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily.
Magnesium glycinate has an 80% absorption rate and also helps with sleep. Magnesium controls calcium, so you likely have excess calcium if you're magnesium deficient. Too much calcium causes cramping in the calves, high blood pressure, and arrhythmias. Smoking, alcohol, soda, refined sugars, starches, and certain medications can all contribute to a magnesium deficiency. Leafy greens, pumpkin seeds, chocolate, and nuts are the best food sources of magnesium. You won't see results if you don’t give magnesium enough time to work. It takes at least 1 to 3 months to see results from magnesium. Digestive issues like constipation or diarrhea can greatly affect your ability to absorb magnesium. Chronic stress and exercise can increase your magnesium requirements. You can increase magnesium absorption by spreading your doses throughout the day rather than taking it all at once. Try drinking apple cider vinegar mixed with water to acidify the stomach and increase magnesium absorption. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful sentiment! Gratitude truly sets the tone for a positive and fulfilling day. Wishing you continued blessings and joy!
25 years ago my cardiologist wanted to medicate me for heart rhythm issues. I looked up what can cause this and one of them was Magnesium deficiency. I've never looked back.
Good for you. 🎉 We have to do our own research these days. Doctors aren't gonna tell us what is really truly wrong with us, they're too busy looking for their prescription pads.
Everyone’s focused on modern methods, but there’s even a book called Banned Spartan Rituals that’s been floating around like some underground secret. Surprised more people haven’t picked up on it.
I was having a severe issue with sciatica for several months. It finally subsided,I was still having leg cramps. It felt as if my bones in my legs were aching. Long story short,I did my own research. I refused to take prednisone and other medications. I've been taking it for about a month. Needless to say,after two weeks, I started feeling so much better. It works...
You just made me realize that I havent had any issues with sciatica in a couple years! It used to be so bad, I could barely walk. Idk why I didn't notice when it stopped. Maybe because I was dealing with so many other issues..... all of which have resolved since taking the right supplements.
Sciatica is referred pain from the spine. I had instant relief with acupuncture in my pinched disk area of my lower spine, which they tried to tell me I needed surgery for!
Good on you for being brave and doing your own research. My doctor wanted me to do surgery, due to severe tennis and golfer’s elbow together on both hands. Which I had after attempting some DIY home renovation by myself. But like you, I thought about it. When there is not much of real physical damage to the tendons, but just inflammation, where the acute pain is coming and why the muscles feel so weak? Felt it could be something to do with nerves as well, on top of the actual inflammation. If so what it could be? I know mostly in nerves it is charged ions getting exchanged. Made me wonder is it an electrical problem? Decided to test it with some grounding techniques. Pain disappeared and regained 80-90% strength in few days. 5 years down, no medication no surgery ever. True at times a little pain may remind me ‘I’m still here’ but another grounding will imminently fix it.
Please help i also have sciatica I am still not getting recovery from this even my hands and back bone also shakes or vibrates heavily in normal action
You sharing your knowledge is absolutely invaluable! Your heartfelt kindness is beyond compare! When I first subscribed, I thought you were an M.D. gone rogue!! 😂 At first, I didn't realize you were a D.C. Well, it's no wonder that "curing" is at the forefront of your shared information, instead of, "treatment". I'm a 59yo (very masculine) man & it literally brings joyful tears to my eyes while thinking of your heartfelt kindness, the sharing of your knowledge, your in depth tutorials, etc... So, with that said, I started taking baby steps with one of your previous videos about the vitamin D3 & Magnesium Glycinate combination & the change in my 42 year construction worker body has been significant! My, coenzyme based, multivitamin has 400 IUs of vitamin D & 40mg of Magnesium, so, I added 1,000 IUs of vitamin D3 & 200mg of Magnesium Glycinate to my regiment, and, WOW!! It's been well over 1 month, maybe 2 months now & the change, from my "baby step" has been like night & day!! I've been telling cohorts, coworkers, fellow contractors, etc...that I'm back to "Beast Mode" again! There's not enough positive adjectives in all of the world's dictionaries, combined, to describe what I've experienced! You're an absolute blessing Dr. Berg! Keep fighting the good fight my fine fellow human being & thank you so much for all that you do!! 👍👍
Wow, what an incredible and heartfelt story-thank you for sharing! It’s amazing to hear how small changes like adding Vitamin D3 and Magnesium Glycinate have made such a profound impact on your life and work. Your enthusiasm and positivity are contagious, and it’s inspiring to see you sharing this experience with others. Keep up the great work in 'Beast Mode,' and thank you for the kind words and encouragement! Stories like yours motivate us to keep sharing helpful information.
@DoctorHealth8 you're quite welcome! I used to hang out with my aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc...at family gatherings listening to them converse while all of my younger cousins played. (I'm the oldest cousin & a first year Gen X'er) I am the older generation now & I'm willing to share with others that are willing to listen & learn. Placaters cause me to quit speaking immediately, mid sentence, & without excuse! It's different here on the Tube, the listeners are appreciative & welcoming! Naysayers get no attention from me & shouldn't get a single comment for their attention seeking negativity! I, myself, have always had a thirst for knowledge. Holistic living has been a welcomed lifestyle for me. Of course, as previously stated, I do take baby steps in order for those steps to become habitual! What has been perpetrated by government regulated agencies, we were supposed to trust, is nothing short of felonious!
@AMcDub0708 thank you! Although, I will have to get educated on K2 first. I've spent my whole damn life never hearing/reading about that ingredient/supplement! I'll be checking Dr. Bergs channel for the videos. The U.S. system has been so corrupt, for so long, it's mind boggling! I'm hoping for big change in the near future!!
How many of us have received life-changing advice from Dr. Berg? He is a life-saver for many as well. 🌟 Thank you Dr. Berg for your extensive and wonderful video library of fabulous advice. You are appreciated and a Blessing in our lives. May You & Yours be Blessed now and always. 🙏🙌💫💖✨
Yes, man is an amazing doctor. I went to doctor several times to get help. His videos have fixed me every time thank God for him. God bless him and his family.
I started having a few grains of Himalayan pink salt in my coffee and on food and my migraines of 30 years have vanished. I got them for 3 days at a time and I was bedridden when I got them. Now gone 🎉🎉🎉
I corrected my SVT'S by increasing magnesium where my cardiologist wanted me to get an ablation! I was having SVT'S every other month or so, my heart racing to 189-190 bpm! Now I'm actually SVT free! Truth!
I know you said it can take months for it to have an effect, though I have been suffering with terrible back problems for a year and a half, I was in hospital, I started taking magnesium, and honest to God, it “seemingly” has changed my life over a course of three days… I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or what, but my whole body has calmed down, and I can walk again. I’m gonna continue to take it.
was in the hospital overnight in 2020 for heart palpitations, felt like my heart was fluttering all over my chest. Cardiologist said there was nothing wrong, just needed magnesium (he said oxide, I said no, malate) but glycinate worked better-no more palps. Husband was suffering from sciatica, gave him ALA, Benfotiamine and vit E. but when I added magnesium-wow! what a difference! Love me some Mag. Ha! Make America Magnesium Again!
This video came right on time. I had given up because health care professionals couldn't solve the myriad of issues I have. Then on Nov 30 i hit a brick wall. I'm not going to go into all the details, but I made an appt with my PCP. It had been almost 2 years since my last visit. I asked for labs. One of them I was hoping would be low would be magnesium. It wasn't. Now I know why. After Nov 30 I changed my diet completely. NO sugar, NO bad carbs. My goal is to get my inflammation down, and now my A1c as I found that was at 6.5 when she did the labs. My habits before this were atrocious. But I had given up after years of trying to feel better. She is supplementing my Vit D, but it's probably not enough. You don't know how much I appreciate this timely video. Btw..66yo female, disablrd due to severe back issues, dx with RA, arthritis.
If she supplements your vit D. Make sure it's not D2. It can cause you more problems. Get vit D3. And preferably with K2. They are complimentary. Look up the reasons why yourself. I ended up with heart palpitations and angina from my prescribed D2, and my doc wod not admit it's affects. When I switched it was a game changer. Best wishes.
Thank you Dr. Berg. The doctor told me I had Gerd I was on omeprazole for a month and I recovered I felt at 50% of my energy but ever since I've been watching your channel. I have been implementing Vitamin D3, magnesium glycinate, MK7-k2, P5P, Zinc , adding HCL; and I honestly have been feeling 95% better than I did a few months ago before I discovered your channel. Thank you.
I was having high blood pressure, leg cramps, tired and sluggish. I told a health rep at work about it and he told me to try Mag-G. I ran out and bought a bottle of 665mg and OMG! It was literally overnight a game changer!! I had no idea.. but I've been taking it for years and I can't live without it
That sounds too fast to not be placebo effect. But I believe Dr. berg that says a lot, I don’t believe most doctors preaching western medicine. Full stop
@ I didn’t specify a test but no one ever asked me, whenever I complained about nonstop crippling anxiety. I suffered needlessly when I didn’t have to. Thanks to Dr. Berg, I now supplement every day with magnesium and L theonine and it has completely changed my life.
I really like the comment about allowing time to "adjust biochemistry in the body" to keep taking Vir D and Magnesium. Same with getting sugar OUT of the body, takes 30 days. Im still battling sugar cravings
It’s honestly disgusting how many doctors don’t even know anything of this.. I had terrible period cramps for 10 + years. High magnesium + calcium helped me , it is better than it was
"conventional" Drs are taught to prescribe medications. It's very sad and completely destructive for humanity and our true health. We can stop this by taking care of ourselves with whole foods, exercise and a balanced lifestyle. Tons of healthy info available on TH-cam. Thank you Dr Berg! Been following Dr Berg for over 5 years.
Please mention that magnesium can stop hot flashes/night sweats. In my 40s I was suffering terribly from both and a dr mentioned to me that he read somewhere that magnesium helps with hot flashes so on my way home, I stopped by the drugstore and bought a bottle. It took about a month to get into my system but I haven’t had hot flashes or night sweats in over 20 years. Not to mention the mental health benefits you receive from magnesium. It truly is the best supplement you can take.
This is such an eye-opening topic! Magnesium is so important for overall health, yet so many of us might be using it incorrectly without realizing it. Can’t wait to learn more about avoiding this common mistake!
Thank you, a true eye opener into the correct type to use. I have tried so hard to educate my family on watching your videos and paying attention to your recommendations. Some of them suffer from all of the problems you mentioned. It's heartbreaking to know that simple changes could have long term consequences, instead they rely on pharmaceuticals. My sister trusts her doctor - he doesn't treat cause, test for imbalances, instead it's pill after pill to mask one symptom after another and she just won't believe me. It's the heart of the problem when they trust a doctor that treats symptoms rather than causes.
@@catitude4 I know, the worst part is my sister said if something doesn't give her instant relief she refuses to use it again. I told her natural supplements require time to heal her but she won't listen. The prescriptions she was on - one caused her to feel sick so they gave her nausea pills, then she got headaches from those, so she got pain meds, then her immune system started acting up and they gave her immune suppressing drugs, when the pain got worse in her neck, one doctor would give her three cortisol shots at a time and had her come back every several weeks. I dug into the types of pharmaceuticals she was taking and some of the side effects included osteoporosis, immune disease, arthritis, even dementia. You see, she doesn't take care of herself and continues to forget when I mention something she should try. I asked her to watch Dr. Berg videos and she said that she will read the comments and if she doesn't like them she does't watch the video. Just heartbreaking. I had a good cry but I know where she's headed - wheelchair bound and early death. Just makes me so sad.
These presentations just keep better direct, to the point and easy to cognitively digest life saving content- huge gratitude Dr Berg, you are appreciated
I listened to Dr. Berg a month or so ago and with a help of magnesium citrate completely eliminated my heart palpitations. Next time I'm buying glycinate. Thank you, there should be more doctors like you and not just big pharma retailers.
I completely changed my diet six months ago based on nationally recommended guidelines, but it only made my health worse. It wasn’t until I read 'The 23 Former Doctor Truths' that I realized doing the opposite of what the government advises can actually make a difference. No wonder the doctor who wrote it left their career-speaking the truth often challenges the system!
Nationally recommended guidlines are not saying the truth.. look at how it all started, light product. I belive when it comes to food we really need to find out what works for us, we are so diffrent because of our genetics experiences and lifestyles. So there is no diet that fits everyone
I use a spray magnesium oil because I have leaky gut & can't absorb correctly. It's by Life Flo and has aloe in it because it can irritate your skin without it. It's great - I feel relaxation, headache reduction & relief from cramping immediately after using it. Hope this helps somebody! Merry Christmas!
Ive been taking a magnesium glycinate and citrate blend for a few months now, it's almost completely eliminated the severe anxiety and muscle aches all over my body that my doctor said was caused by severe CPTSD. Her solution was myotherapy massage to calm me down and relieve the aches and pains. But honestly, that wasn't the answer. The answer was magnesium. THANK YOU DR. BERG! 🎉
@@muhammadyounas-fm6og yes it's a magnesium blend powder made by Swisse. I think I will switch to plain glycinate to see if it gives me less loose stools though. Some of the magnesium types loosen the stools more than others.
I was having heart palpitations and watched one of your videos on magnesium. I don’t eat junk food, and eat low carb low sugar, so I thought I was fine. I started taking Mag Glycinate and they stopped on day two. Not a single problem ever since. ❤❤❤THANK YOU DR BERG.
Foot bath: 1/3 cup epsom salt, 1/3 cup baking soda, 16 oz peroxide, warm water, 20 minutes...5 days a week. Magnesium, alkalinity, and oxygen. Life changing.
I was a caregiver in a dementia facility. When some would have whats called “sundowner” a condition that in early evening they begin wondering aimlessly and acting out. I would ask the worst ones if I could give them a foot massage (of course they said yes), and while massaging one would have the other foot soaking in an epsom salt solution. They always fell asleep in me. It wa a secret I shared with other facility members.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful and compassionate approach! It’s amazing how something as simple as a foot massage and epsom salt soak can bring comfort and calmness to those experiencing such challenges. Your care and creativity made a real difference, and it’s inspiring to hear how you shared this with others. Thank you for being such a kind and thoughtful caregiver!
I’ve been taking high doses of magnesium for years. Doctors called me crazy. I used to have horrible mood swings and angry outbursts. All of that is gone.
@ 800mg a day. That’s the maximum that I can take before I start feeling “weak”, but some people may need more. As for vitamin D, I take it as a supplement. I try to do 25000 IU every month.
What if you were to start a company , covered by health insurance, that tests people for ALL of the deficiency tests, then, assigns them a nutrition plan and retests them at different intervals to see how theyre doing.
Finally, a source of information on nutrition I can trust with detailed information I can understand. It confirms most of the things I suspected from my own observation, like I suspected that on general, most people are deficient in magnesium. But I didn't know what quantity to take. Thank you so much. Your channel is a gem.
I had this skipping problem too. Potassium and magnesium fixed the problem. I never told my doctor, she would have wanted to do all kinds of things I don't want. Haven't seen her since covid first started, not going back.
@@CYndibabI I do take Mg Bisglycinate California Gold Nutrition, 100 mg although the average recommendation is 200 mg but I am petite and on the skinny side on a healthy diet and balanced diet.
Eat healthy, exercise & walk a mile daily, take vitamin tabs, eat black garlic and fermented cabbage such as Sauerkraut & kimchi, take one spoon of extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar, drink kefir yogurt drink & matcha green tea and sleep well. That's what I've done and just celebrated my 70th birthday lately. 😊😊😊
@Rose-jr4tx, great work figuring out how to stay healthy! Keep telling people as some will listen. Our bodies are rebuilding 24/7 so it is never too late to improve health. Blessings.
I haven't slept in weeks. Took just 1 Dr. Berg magnesium pill yesterday and slept for 10 hours. Woke up this morning feeling like I hadn't slept in years. Thanks again Dr. Berg.
Ive had sleeping problems too bro! On and off for the past 3 months. How many mgs of magnesium did you take? And what caused the disturbance to your sleep?
You are so right on this! I take 1600 mg of Mg Glycinate daily and have for about 6 months. I am 65 and have had arrhythmias (PVC and SVT) since my first year of college. Those are completely gone now. I did Carnivore and probably did something wrong and ended with serious cramps and serious body pain. It was horrible! I will also start taking the D3. Going back on carnivore SLOWLY this time and eat liver like I should have. I still work in a hospital as an RT and do shiftwork, but only work nights and have 8 days off in between 6 12 hour shifts. Since the Mg, it has been heaven sleeping. So much GREAT change!! It is so nice not having the PVCs anymore, especially when I lay on my left side sleeping! I wish I would have known this 40 years ago!!! Thanks for a great video!!!
I went to the gp.gave me blood test. I was anaemic. Couldn't sleep at night. He gave me ferrous sulfate once a day. After following you,I don't have restless leg syndrome. I don't know 😢how to thank you?I'm so happy.
How wonderful is my God! In 2016, He told me to address Vitamin D as well as Magnesium when I asked Him to intervene with regard to my high blood pressure & tachycardia at the time, & I certainly did not know one needed the other, but He knew. Blessed be the name of the Lord Jesus!
I would get horrible cramps in my legs and arms. My doctor said that he had never heard of that before. That was the end of that. Years later I was put on Requip. It did nothing. My sleep doctor put me on iron. That took care of the cravings for red meat, but did nothing for the cramps. A few months ago I tried magnesium. It worked! Amazing what you can learn on TH-cam.
Years ago, I was having some issues and then it seemed that it could’ve been my magnesium. Yes it was. I’d start taking a good form of magnesium and I felt much better to this day. I still take it not as often, but I do take it.
Magnesium glycinate is the one vitamin supplement that I recommend to people who complain about inflammation and sleep issues. Whether they listen to my advice and apply it is on them.
@@Faramir1104 Mg Citrate and MG nitrate is also ok. A little less absorption rate as Glycinate, but still considered ok. Stay away from MG Oxide, since you only absorb 3% of it and it is much more likely causing diarrea.
@@Faramir1104 No. Magnesium citrate is a “cheap” version of magnesium and in my opinion is only good for as a laxative. I recommend the brand Nature Made Magnesium Glycinate 200 mg. It’s more expensive but you will get the benefits that were listed in the video.
I've been keto for 3.5 years now. I developed constipation from all the non-soluble fiber. My doctor told me to take Metamucil. It didn't help. I was taking Magnesium citrate once a day, but that didn't fix it either. Then I began spreading the same dose over the day (twice) like Dr. Berg suggested. Cured the constipation completely without diarrhea. I'm now going to begin taking mag glycinate too. Thanks Dr. Berg. ❤
I have been taking magnesium a few months now with D3 and A2 I had no bloating stomach cramps and i certainly can feel the difference feeling calmer sleeping really well and having self control, amazing so Thank you Dr Berg your videos are so valuable.
Dr. Berg, I must say. When you first brought up D3 and Magnesium, I started taking it. After a couple months, I feel great and believe I'm setting the stage to lose my visceral fat in my gut. I am also eating greens more often and arugula (K2) has been very, very beneficial. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you do!!
I started taking various forms of magnesium about 10-11 years ago in my late 30's. what actually got me on it was constant joint pains especially up in the shoulders and neck, couldn't turn my head. I scheduled an appt with a chiropractor. Then I read an article listing the common symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Started taking it....and ended up cancelling my chiropractic appt. Within weeks aches, kinks and cramps vanished.
I found that magnesium citrate helps with chronic severe anxiety, but I am limited in how much I can use because taking as much as I need causes diarrhea. Still, the lesser amount helps. I combine that with 2 antidepressant pharmaceuticals and 5htp. I also used to take St. John's Wort, but became immune after 11 or so years. Hope everyone here has a great Christmas and Hanukkah!!
I asked my Mother’s doctor if he could give her a script for the newer more accurate RBC magnesium blood test instead of the standard test. He got angry and said “If you want to manage her healthcare then I wont!”
Any time someone, regardless of their profession, wants to be without oversight, it’s a red flag. Doctors have gotten used to patients fawning over their every syllable like their tongues were a miracle of God to the children of men, and no error can be found in them. It’s high time we, as individuals take responsibility and charge of our own health, and DEMAND healthcare (not sickcare) and doctors who will be our Co-pilots (not pilots). I left the military a long time ago, and ever since then, doctors don’t give me ORDERS, they make RECOMMENDATIONS.
@BacknRC, for older people we can almost assume they are low on magnesium. That is no excuse for the doctor's behavior. As others have mentioned, try and get a new doctor. In the meantime, supplementing with magnesium shouldn't be an issue. You can also try magnesium oil, which is Epsom salts dissolved in water. I find that the body absorbs many minerals better thru the skin as it doesn't cause intestinal issues.
I needed this video so bad. I spent about 4 hours yesterday morning researching Magnesium, trying to figure out the best option for helping prevent migraines.
I had a idiopathic sudden cardiac arrest 8 years ago, a year later I was shocked once a month Jan-April and would end up in the hospital a couple days while they try to figure me out . My heart doctor finally noticed my magnesium levels were low every time, when I had my SCA and subsequent defibrillator shocks. Since then I’ve been taking a lot of magnesium (glycinate is the best) and CoQ10; haven’t had a cardiac event since. I’ll never stop taking these two supplements.
Wow, I had no idea about this magnesium mistake! 😱 Thanks for breaking it down so clearly. Definitely rethinking my supplement routine and making sure I’m getting it right. Great insights and valuable information-keep up the fantastic work!
I take a liquid supplement from whole foods a vitamin D magnesium calcium citrate. Especially in the winter I take it daily. Definitely have less pain and stiffness when taking this supplement daily. I also think dates are high in magnesium and I eat that in my salads
I take 1000 mg of magnesium glycinate over the course of the day, with 300 mg of it about an hour before bed. Always with ACV beforehand. That and a warm pair of socks keeps my legs from cramping at night.
Can you just type out “ACV” instead of abbreviating it in your comment? So people who are not familiar with that abbreviation, which is many people, since we are on a channel to learn about health-related things, can understand?
Too mich apple cider vinegar is too much acid for kidneys. Also it needs to be diluted in a cup of water and consumed via a straw. There should be some off days when you don't take too much vinegar.
Magnesium is crucial for many bodily functions, but deficiency is common. Common mistakes include not taking enough, not taking it long enough, and not addressing absorption issues. Proper dosage, timing, and complementary nutrients like vitamin D are important for effectiveness.
I was taking one magnesium pill a day for years .then I had to start taking two a day cos I started to get cramps again which was the reason I started to take magnesium in the first place .I was going to ask you why did I have to go to two ?then I heard you say insulin and I’m on insulin.I love your videos May Elohim bless you and your family🙏🏼❤️
I use magnesium chloride dissolved in my drinking water Lets you get plenty drip fed over the day, and it's already dissolved ir the water so no issues with breaking down tough tablets at all Bonus: it's literally dirt cheap. 1kg bag costs £4 and makes 500 doses of 250mg magnesium basically
Magnesium and Vit. D with zinc didn't stop my inflammatory gut, I had to dry fast 3 days long without food or water each week for several weeks before I was cured.
Dr. Berg Why does Magnesium Glycinate make me dizzy and give me horrible vertigo? Doesn't seem to matter the dosage. I switched to Magnesium Citrate and that doesn't make me dizzy.
It's a shame most pumpkin seeds sold in stores are imported from China ie. come with a dose of heavy metals, pesticides and other crap from their polluted soils. And don't believe their 'organic' claims for even a second, it's all fake. This also applies to most USA brands who just buy the seeds in bulk from Chin and only package in USA
Of Magnesium, few know more than I. Greater absorption is through a Mg sulfate spray on the skin, especially for cramps, bypass the failing (struggling/compromised) digestive system to get greater use of it, at once. Magnesium malate preferentially loads to muscles, magnesium glycinate more for everything else. If insulin is compromised, can have a wasting effect: mg is, once used, and floating in blood, gets to kidneys and is filtered out then at a second stage is re-absorbed if your kidneys are working properly. If insulin is not working great, instead that magnesium is lost to urine. Creating a rapid deficiency. As in, everything you do, especially muscular work, that burns through Mg, loses it to the urine. Cramps, especially night cramps in the leg, are complicated by micro-shivering of the leg to keep warm, you won't notice the muscles contracting to make heat but you will lose magnesium locally and cramp. Mg cramps are not contraction caused by Mg they are the inability to use Mg to unload the contracted muscle - it locks up and stays that way until enough Mg is present to unlock it. An Mg spray can unlock that within seconds, it absorbs that well. Thank you Dr Berg I don't think I have seen any of your videos talking nonsense, where so many in the industry talk ... nonsense. But you could do a deep deep explainer of Mg covering the points I made above.
Why does noone mention magnesium chloride at all? You can dissolve it in water so no issues breaking down tough tablets at all. And it's literally dirt cheap at 1kg costs £4 and makes 500 doses of 250mg magnesium!
My chiropractor told me to take magnesium until I got diahrrea, and then back off 1 pill. 4-400 mg capsules gave me diahrrea, so I have been on 3- 400 mg capsules for years, along with 5000 vitamin D.
@deborahdeck - the Mag. Glycinate won’t give you diarrhea - at least that’s been my experience - I also take Mag Threonate which was recommended for migraines - from what Dr. Berg says, only certain types of the common magnesium like citrate & I believe oxide, cause bathroom issues - he has several videos on this, I believe - Merry Christmas from Florida 😎🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Diarrhea is one of the (sometimes intended) side effects of too much magnesium, but different kinds are absorbed differently. Some are not absorbed very well and pass through the digestion track and others cross the brain barrier and can cause hypermagnesemia (too much magnesium) affecting your heart and respiratory system. It's important to let your medical doctor or primary care physician know what dose you're taking, hypermagnesemia is rare and only occurs with supplements.
This video was right on time ! It randomly popped up in my notifications . I been ordering different brands of magnesium glycinate thinking the ones I have already not working . I’m also taking Vitamin D K2 daily , I’m on and off with these supplements feeling discourage but I’m really not giving them consistency thinking they’re not working .
I am taking magnesium glycinate for the last 1 yrs. It's great for me 'my mom who is 84 yrs suffering from brain''''' her doctors medicine can't calm her down roaming around the home at midnight ''' I gave her magnesium glycinate at bedtimes from the last one months It's magic she sleep every night like a baby her mental problem almost gone''' Thanks 🙏

Dr Berg notes:
Magnesium is involved in hundreds of biochemical reactions that help prevent common problems such as atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, insomnia, heart disease, leg cramps, and fatigue. Many people are magnesium deficient, but it’s almost impossible to test! Only 1% of your magnesium is in the blood-the rest is inside the cells.
Some common causes of magnesium deficiency include:
•Genetic weakness
•Low stomach acid
•Prediabetes or diabetes
Magnesium depends on vitamin D, which many people have a genetic problem with. Vitamin D deficiency inhibits the proper function of magnesium in the body. You need a minimum of 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily.
Magnesium glycinate has an 80% absorption rate and also helps with sleep. Magnesium controls calcium, so you likely have excess calcium if you're magnesium deficient. Too much calcium causes cramping in the calves, high blood pressure, and arrhythmias.
Smoking, alcohol, soda, refined sugars, starches, and certain medications can all contribute to a magnesium deficiency.
Leafy greens, pumpkin seeds, chocolate, and nuts are the best food sources of magnesium.
You won't see results if you don’t give magnesium enough time to work. It takes at least 1 to 3 months to see results from magnesium.
Digestive issues like constipation or diarrhea can greatly affect your ability to absorb magnesium. Chronic stress and exercise can increase your magnesium requirements.
You can increase magnesium absorption by spreading your doses throughout the day rather than taking it all at once. Try drinking apple cider vinegar mixed with water to acidify the stomach and increase magnesium absorption.
Thank you Dr Berg!

25 years ago my cardiologist wanted to medicate me for heart rhythm issues. I looked up what can cause this and one of them was Magnesium deficiency. I've never looked back.
Good for you. 🎉 We have to do our own research these days. Doctors aren't gonna tell us what is really truly wrong with us, they're too busy looking for their prescription pads.
Same thing with me, two years ego I’ve found my medicine: Magnesium
@@seelogic9845 and they don’t even examine you thoroughly. They’re just businessmen.
Wath Kindle of magnesium for the hart?
@@marie-sophielandry3566 citrate, Taurate, Glycinate.
Everyone’s focused on modern methods, but there’s even a book called Banned Spartan Rituals that’s been floating around like some underground secret. Surprised more people haven’t picked up on it.
I was having a severe issue with sciatica for several months. It finally subsided,I was still having leg cramps. It felt as if my bones in my legs were aching. Long story short,I did my own research. I refused to take prednisone and other medications. I've been taking it for about a month. Needless to say,after two weeks, I started feeling so much better. It works...
You just made me realize that I havent had any issues with sciatica in a couple years! It used to be so bad, I could barely walk. Idk why I didn't notice when it stopped. Maybe because I was dealing with so many other issues..... all of which have resolved since taking the right supplements.
Sciatica is referred pain from the spine. I had instant relief with acupuncture in my pinched disk area of my lower spine, which they tried to tell me I needed surgery for!
Good on you for being brave and doing your own research. My doctor wanted me to do surgery, due to severe tennis and golfer’s elbow together on both hands. Which I had after attempting some DIY home renovation by myself.
But like you, I thought about it. When there is not much of real physical damage to the tendons, but just inflammation, where the acute pain is coming and why the muscles feel so weak? Felt it could be something to do with nerves as well, on top of the actual inflammation. If so what it could be? I know mostly in nerves it is charged ions getting exchanged. Made me wonder is it an electrical problem?
Decided to test it with some grounding techniques. Pain disappeared and regained 80-90% strength in few days. 5 years down, no medication no surgery ever. True at times a little pain may remind me ‘I’m still here’ but another grounding will imminently fix it.
Please help i also have sciatica I am still not getting recovery from this even my hands and back bone also shakes or vibrates heavily in normal action
You sharing your knowledge is absolutely invaluable! Your heartfelt kindness is beyond compare! When I first subscribed, I thought you were an M.D. gone rogue!! 😂 At first, I didn't realize you were a D.C. Well, it's no wonder that "curing" is at the forefront of your shared information, instead of, "treatment". I'm a 59yo (very masculine) man & it literally brings joyful tears to my eyes while thinking of your heartfelt kindness, the sharing of your knowledge, your in depth tutorials, etc...
So, with that said, I started taking baby steps with one of your previous videos about the vitamin D3 & Magnesium Glycinate combination & the change in my 42 year construction worker body has been significant! My, coenzyme based, multivitamin has 400 IUs of vitamin D & 40mg of Magnesium, so, I added 1,000 IUs of vitamin D3 & 200mg of Magnesium Glycinate to my regiment, and, WOW!! It's been well over 1 month, maybe 2 months now & the change, from my "baby step" has been like night & day!! I've been telling cohorts, coworkers, fellow contractors, etc...that I'm back to "Beast Mode" again! There's not enough positive adjectives in all of the world's dictionaries, combined, to describe what I've experienced!
You're an absolute blessing Dr. Berg! Keep fighting the good fight my fine fellow human being & thank you so much for all that you do!! 👍👍
Wow, what an incredible and heartfelt story-thank you for sharing! It’s amazing to hear how small changes like adding Vitamin D3 and Magnesium Glycinate have made such a profound impact on your life and work. Your enthusiasm and positivity are contagious, and it’s inspiring to see you sharing this experience with others. Keep up the great work in 'Beast Mode,' and thank you for the kind words and encouragement! Stories like yours motivate us to keep sharing helpful information.
@DoctorHealth8 you're quite welcome! I used to hang out with my aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc...at family gatherings listening to them converse while all of my younger cousins played. (I'm the oldest cousin & a first year Gen X'er) I am the older generation now & I'm willing to share with others that are willing to listen & learn. Placaters cause me to quit speaking immediately, mid sentence, & without excuse! It's different here on the Tube, the listeners are appreciative & welcoming! Naysayers get no attention from me & shouldn't get a single comment for their attention seeking negativity! I, myself, have always had a thirst for knowledge. Holistic living has been a welcomed lifestyle for me. Of course, as previously stated, I do take baby steps in order for those steps to become habitual! What has been perpetrated by government regulated agencies, we were supposed to trust, is nothing short of felonious!
Remember that K2 also if you’re taking D3
@AMcDub0708 thank you! Although, I will have to get educated on K2 first. I've spent my whole damn life never hearing/reading about that ingredient/supplement! I'll be checking Dr. Bergs channel for the videos. The U.S. system has been so corrupt, for so long, it's mind boggling! I'm hoping for big change in the near future!!

I’ve been taking magnesium for chronic migraines & noticed it has helped significantly.
How much and what type please?
I take 400 mg magnesium glycinate daily along w 400 mg vitamin b2 daily to help prevent migraines
@@susanlockinger749good question
@@traciebarthel3319 thank you!
I started having a few grains of Himalayan pink salt in my coffee and on food and my migraines of 30 years have vanished. I got them for 3 days at a time and I was bedridden when I got them. Now gone 🎉🎉🎉
I corrected my SVT'S by increasing magnesium where my cardiologist wanted me to get an ablation! I was having SVT'S every other month or so, my heart racing to 189-190 bpm! Now I'm actually SVT free! Truth!
I have SVT and researching alternatives! Did you use the mag. Glycinate only or a blend of magnesium - so many types! And his brand or others?
How much did you have to take?
Me too! Almost constant palpitations, extra beats, missed beats and racing heart at rest now settled.
Same here!
Top of the list is for cardiology docs to check mag levels… strange. But happy for you.
I know you said it can take months for it to have an effect, though I have been suffering with terrible back problems for a year and a half, I was in hospital, I started taking magnesium, and honest to God, it “seemingly” has changed my life over a course of three days… I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or what, but my whole body has calmed down, and I can walk again. I’m gonna continue to take it.
was in the hospital overnight in 2020 for heart palpitations, felt like my heart was fluttering all over my chest. Cardiologist said there was nothing wrong, just needed magnesium (he said oxide, I said no, malate) but glycinate worked better-no more palps. Husband was suffering from sciatica, gave him ALA, Benfotiamine and vit E. but when I added magnesium-wow! what a difference! Love me some Mag. Ha! Make America Magnesium Again!
This video came right on time. I had given up because health care professionals couldn't solve the myriad of issues I have. Then on Nov 30 i hit a brick wall. I'm not going to go into all the details, but I made an appt with my PCP. It had been almost 2 years since my last visit.
I asked for labs. One of them I was hoping would be low would be magnesium. It wasn't. Now I know why.
After Nov 30 I changed my diet completely. NO sugar, NO bad carbs.
My goal is to get my inflammation down, and now my A1c as I found that was at 6.5 when she did the labs.
My habits before this were atrocious. But I had given up after years of trying to feel better.
She is supplementing my Vit D, but it's probably not enough.
You don't know how much I appreciate this timely video.
Btw..66yo female, disablrd due to severe back issues, dx with RA, arthritis.
Yeah take a huge amount of vitamin d3 with k2 start with 50k iu daily for 2 weeks and see how you feel then slowly dial it down
If she supplements your vit D. Make sure it's not D2. It can cause you more problems. Get vit D3. And preferably with K2. They are complimentary. Look up the reasons why yourself.
I ended up with heart palpitations and angina from my prescribed D2, and my doc wod not admit it's affects. When I switched it was a game changer. Best wishes.
Thank you Dr. Berg. The doctor told me I had Gerd I was on omeprazole for a month and I recovered I felt at 50% of my energy but ever since I've been watching your channel. I have been implementing Vitamin D3, magnesium glycinate, MK7-k2, P5P, Zinc , adding HCL; and I honestly have been feeling 95% better than I did a few months ago before I discovered your channel. Thank you.

I was having high blood pressure, leg cramps, tired and sluggish. I told a health rep at work about it and he told me to try Mag-G. I ran out and bought a bottle of 665mg and OMG! It was literally overnight a game changer!! I had no idea.. but I've been taking it for years and I can't live without it
Mag glycinate?
That sounds too fast to not be placebo effect. But I believe Dr. berg that says a lot, I don’t believe most doctors preaching western medicine. Full stop
Which type please ?
Doesn't your body produce it
@@Sugarshane88no it doesn’t.
All my life I thought something was seriously wrong with me, because not a single doctor ever checked me for a magnesium deficiency.
He just said a test from your doctor doesn't help.
@@jeandivine3 tylko badanie wewnatrzkomórkowe pokaże prawdę
@ I didn’t specify a test but no one ever asked me, whenever I complained about nonstop crippling anxiety. I suffered needlessly when I didn’t have to. Thanks to Dr. Berg, I now supplement every day with magnesium and L theonine and it has completely changed my life.
You can't
You can't measure it in your blood, didn't you listen?
I really like the comment about allowing time to "adjust biochemistry in the body" to keep taking Vir D and Magnesium. Same with getting sugar OUT of the body, takes 30 days. Im still battling sugar cravings
For me learning what sugar does to the body kills my desire to eat it.

Merry Christmas to you too, hi from 🇦🇺
It’s honestly disgusting how many doctors don’t even know anything of this.. I had terrible period cramps for 10 + years. High magnesium + calcium helped me , it is better than it was
Medicine taught today is for diagnosing and prescribing, but not for healing. It’s to keep you sick and dependent on meds and 💉
It's possible you have endometriosis.
@ my ginecologist denied it. Now my pain is less
"conventional" Drs are taught to prescribe medications. It's very sad and completely destructive for humanity and our true health. We can stop this by taking care of ourselves with whole foods, exercise and a balanced lifestyle. Tons of healthy info available on TH-cam. Thank you Dr Berg! Been following Dr Berg for over 5 years.
@chuntathecat4222 only a laparoscopy can definitively determine that...but I'm happy your pain has reduced.
My chronic anxiety and depression is gone in two week, how can I thank you Dr. Berg. However thank you very much.
Very glad to be of help.
Please mention that magnesium can stop hot flashes/night sweats. In my 40s I was suffering terribly from both and a dr mentioned to me that he read somewhere that magnesium helps with hot flashes so on my way home, I stopped by the drugstore and bought a bottle. It took about a month to get into my system but I haven’t had hot flashes or night sweats in over 20 years. Not to mention the mental health benefits you receive from magnesium. It truly is the best supplement you can take.
This is such an eye-opening topic! Magnesium is so important for overall health, yet so many of us might be using it incorrectly without realizing it. Can’t wait to learn more about avoiding this common mistake!
Thank you, a true eye opener into the correct type to use. I have tried so hard to educate my family on watching your videos and paying attention to your recommendations. Some of them suffer from all of the problems you mentioned. It's heartbreaking to know that simple changes could have long term consequences, instead they rely on pharmaceuticals. My sister trusts her doctor - he doesn't treat cause, test for imbalances, instead it's pill after pill to mask one symptom after another and she just won't believe me. It's the heart of the problem when they trust a doctor that treats symptoms rather than causes.
I have this same problem with some of my family. It makes you want to scream, "Listen to me please!".
@@catitude4 I know, the worst part is my sister said if something doesn't give her instant relief she refuses to use it again. I told her natural supplements require time to heal her but she won't listen. The prescriptions she was on - one caused her to feel sick so they gave her nausea pills, then she got headaches from those, so she got pain meds, then her immune system started acting up and they gave her immune suppressing drugs, when the pain got worse in her neck, one doctor would give her three cortisol shots at a time and had her come back every several weeks. I dug into the types of pharmaceuticals she was taking and some of the side effects included osteoporosis, immune disease, arthritis, even dementia. You see, she doesn't take care of herself and continues to forget when I mention something she should try. I asked her to watch Dr. Berg videos and she said that she will read the comments and if she doesn't like them she does't watch the video. Just heartbreaking. I had a good cry but I know where she's headed - wheelchair bound and early death. Just makes me so sad.
One of my dad's favorite sayings was, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink it. So sorry she won't listen to you.
These presentations just keep better
direct, to the point and easy to cognitively digest
life saving content- huge gratitude Dr Berg, you are appreciated

I listened to Dr. Berg a month or so ago and with a help of magnesium citrate completely eliminated my heart palpitations. Next time I'm buying glycinate. Thank you, there should be more doctors like you and not just big pharma retailers.
I completely changed my diet six months ago based on nationally recommended guidelines, but it only made my health worse. It wasn’t until I read 'The 23 Former Doctor Truths' that I realized doing the opposite of what the government advises can actually make a difference. No wonder the doctor who wrote it left their career-speaking the truth often challenges the system!
Thanks for sharing that I totally agree with you
Nationally recommended guidlines are not saying the truth.. look at how it all started, light product. I belive when it comes to food we really need to find out what works for us, we are so diffrent because of our genetics experiences and lifestyles. So there is no diet that fits everyone
Always do the opposite of what they recommend- they know how to keep themselves wealthy and us sick fat addicted and stupid. Yes it’s that bad..
I use a spray magnesium oil because I have leaky gut & can't absorb correctly. It's by Life Flo and has aloe in it because it can irritate your skin without it. It's great - I feel relaxation, headache reduction & relief from cramping immediately after using it. Hope this helps somebody! Merry Christmas!
Ive been taking a magnesium glycinate and citrate blend for a few months now, it's almost completely eliminated the severe anxiety and muscle aches all over my body that my doctor said was caused by severe CPTSD. Her solution was myotherapy massage to calm me down and relieve the aches and pains. But honestly, that wasn't the answer. The answer was magnesium. THANK YOU DR. BERG! 🎉
Same, glycinate alone wasn't doing it for me
As a Myotherapist, make recommendations to take Magnesium Glyconate and refer my folks to Dr Berg's videos.😉
@seelogic9845 you take both magnesium glycinate, citrate it is possible to take both at one time?
@@muhammadyounas-fm6og yes it's a magnesium blend powder made by Swisse. I think I will switch to plain glycinate to see if it gives me less loose stools though. Some of the magnesium types loosen the stools more than others.
@@seelogic9845 thanks for quick reply. Yes, magnesium citrate have loosen the stools. You should take only glycinate if you experience motions.

Foot bath: 1/3 cup epsom salt, 1/3 cup baking soda, 16 oz peroxide, warm water, 20 minutes...5 days a week. Magnesium, alkalinity, and oxygen. Life changing.
So you only put those 4 things in your foot bath and it gives you all over body relief?
You can also bath it it.
Soak in bath , and relax, and try to stay in it until the bath is to cold.
Thank you Mario !!!
Could use just use magnesium flakes in warm water and soak that way?
why baking soda and peroxide?
I was a caregiver in a dementia facility. When some would have whats called “sundowner” a condition that in early evening they begin wondering aimlessly and acting out. I would ask the worst ones if I could give them a foot massage (of course they said yes), and while massaging one would have the other foot soaking in an epsom salt solution. They always fell asleep in me. It wa a secret I shared with other facility members.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful and compassionate approach! It’s amazing how something as simple as a foot massage and epsom salt soak can bring comfort and calmness to those experiencing such challenges. Your care and creativity made a real difference, and it’s inspiring to hear how you shared this with others. Thank you for being such a kind and thoughtful caregiver!

I’ve been taking high doses of magnesium for years. Doctors called me crazy. I used to have horrible mood swings and angry outbursts. All of that is gone.
What do you call high doses of magnesium? How many milligrams? Were you getting enough Vitamin D? Was it natural Vit D or a supplement? Thank you.
@ 800mg a day. That’s the maximum that I can take before I start feeling “weak”, but some people may need more. As for vitamin D, I take it as a supplement. I try to do 25000 IU every month.
Wow..good for u
What if you were to start a company , covered by health insurance, that tests people for ALL of the deficiency tests, then, assigns them a nutrition plan and retests them at different intervals to see how theyre doing.
Big Food and Big Pharma would go after you and try to discredit you.
Big pharma will close you down...
Utopia
Wishful thinking! It would be amazing though!
Functional Health is not covered by insurance, but they do 100 blood tests, you get a report with recommendations and a retest 6 months later... $499
Maybe strange to say, but you're probably the most important person in my life right now. You have helped me so much! I can never thank you enough!
Finally, a source of information on nutrition I can trust with detailed information I can understand. It confirms most of the things I suspected from my own observation, like I suspected that on general, most people are deficient in magnesium. But I didn't know what quantity to take. Thank you so much. Your channel is a gem.
Started taking magnesium glycinate and it was like magic my heart skipping calmed down immediately
I had this skipping problem too. Potassium and magnesium fixed the problem. I never told my doctor, she would have wanted to do all kinds of things I don't want. Haven't seen her since covid first started, not going back.

You are so right on this! I take 1600 mg of Mg Glycinate daily and have for about 6 months. I am 65 and have had arrhythmias (PVC and SVT) since my first year of college. Those are completely gone now. I did Carnivore and probably did something wrong and ended with serious cramps and serious body pain. It was horrible! I will also start taking the D3. Going back on carnivore SLOWLY this time and eat liver like I should have. I still work in a hospital as an RT and do shiftwork, but only work nights and have 8 days off in between 6 12 hour shifts. Since the Mg, it has been heaven sleeping. So much GREAT change!! It is so nice not having the PVCs anymore, especially when I lay on my left side sleeping! I wish I would have known this 40 years ago!!! Thanks for a great video!!!

Hello! It is great to hear from you. Very glad to learn of all your progress. Keep up the good work!
How wonderful is my God! In 2016, He told me to address Vitamin D as well as Magnesium when I asked Him to intervene with regard to my high blood pressure & tachycardia at the time, & I certainly did not know one needed the other, but He knew.
Blessed be the name of the Lord Jesus!
I would get horrible cramps in my legs and arms. My doctor said that he had never heard of that before. That was the end of that. Years later I was put on Requip. It did nothing. My sleep doctor put me on iron. That took care of the cravings for red meat, but did nothing for the cramps. A few months ago I tried magnesium. It worked! Amazing what you can learn on TH-cam.

Thanks for your advice doctor berg ! I’m taking vit d3 and now magnesium and stopped alcohol. Feeling a lot calmer. Thank you so much
Happy that you found it useful!
Years ago, I was having some issues and then it seemed that it could’ve been my magnesium. Yes it was. I’d start taking a good form of magnesium and I felt much better to this day. I still take it not as often, but I do take it.
Magnesium glycinate is the one vitamin supplement that I recommend to people who complain about inflammation and sleep issues. Whether they listen to my advice and apply it is on them.
I wanted to try this but what I bought is magnesium citrate 400mg. Is that alright?
@@Faramir1104 Mg Citrate and MG nitrate is also ok. A little less absorption rate as Glycinate, but still considered ok.
Stay away from MG Oxide, since you only absorb 3% of it and it is much more likely causing diarrea.
@@Faramir1104 No. Magnesium citrate is a “cheap” version of magnesium and in my opinion is only good for as a laxative. I recommend the brand Nature Made Magnesium Glycinate 200 mg. It’s more expensive but you will get the benefits that were listed in the video.
@ I see. I’m currently taking 5000 UI of Vitamin D with K, do I only need 200mg of magnesium citrate for it to work?
Can i take Magnesium clycinate with keppra and how long can i take it for?
I've been keto for 3.5 years now. I developed constipation from all the non-soluble fiber. My doctor told me to take Metamucil. It didn't help. I was taking Magnesium citrate once a day, but that didn't fix it either. Then I began spreading the same dose over the day (twice) like Dr. Berg suggested. Cured the constipation completely without diarrhea. I'm now going to begin taking mag glycinate too. Thanks Dr. Berg. ❤
Try kiwi fruit
For me, high fat clean keto plus mineral supplements has been miraculous! Best of luck to you :)
Try Benefiber. Soluble fiber from plant sources.
What non-soluble fiber you eating? Veggies mostly have souble, it's grains that have the most non-soluble really

@-16_• what a kind magnesium you take glycinate??
This is a great help. Thank you 💙🙏🏻
Dr. Berg, I must say. When you first brought up D3 and Magnesium, I started taking it. After a couple months, I feel great and believe I'm setting the stage to lose my visceral fat in my gut. I am also eating greens more often and arugula (K2) has been very, very beneficial. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you do!!
Excellent. Thanks for following my advice. Merry Christmas.
I started taking various forms of magnesium about 10-11 years ago in my late 30's. what actually got me on it was constant joint pains especially up in the shoulders and neck, couldn't turn my head. I scheduled an appt with a chiropractor. Then I read an article listing the common symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Started taking it....and ended up cancelling my chiropractic appt. Within weeks aches, kinks and cramps vanished.
You break it down Dr. Eric , in an easy digestible way for everyday people to understand. Love love your videos.
I'm glad you liked this post.
Thanks for all the Informations. Be blessed ✝️💚
I found that magnesium citrate helps with chronic severe anxiety, but I am limited in how much I can use because taking as much as I need causes diarrhea. Still, the lesser amount helps. I combine that with 2 antidepressant pharmaceuticals and 5htp. I also used to take St. John's Wort, but became immune after 11 or so years.
Hope everyone here has a great Christmas and Hanukkah!!
Magnesium glycinate will lessen the anxiety without causing bowel problems like citrate does.
The citrate version did that to me too, then so did every other one, but when I tried curcumin I was able to take the glycinate version.
Try Remag. It doesn't cause loose stools.
Vitamín d3 with k2 is super for anxiety (20,000 iu daily).
I asked my Mother’s doctor if he could give her a script for the newer more accurate RBC magnesium blood test instead of the standard test. He got angry and said “If you want to manage her healthcare then I wont!”
Get a new Dr!! That one is Dr Ego
Any time someone, regardless of their profession, wants to be without oversight, it’s a red flag. Doctors have gotten used to patients fawning over their every syllable like their tongues were a miracle of God to the children of men, and no error can be found in them. It’s high time we, as individuals take responsibility and charge of our own health, and DEMAND healthcare (not sickcare) and doctors who will be our Co-pilots (not pilots). I left the military a long time ago, and ever since then, doctors don’t give me ORDERS, they make RECOMMENDATIONS.
@BacknRC, for older people we can almost assume they are low on magnesium. That is no excuse for the doctor's behavior. As others have mentioned, try and get a new doctor. In the meantime, supplementing with magnesium shouldn't be an issue. You can also try magnesium oil, which is Epsom salts dissolved in water. I find that the body absorbs many minerals better thru the skin as it doesn't cause intestinal issues.
Change doctor. No need for that one.
Stop seeing prideful doctors who are so full of themselves. We don't need this kind of quackery
You can also use lemon juice instead of apple cider vinegar which aids in digestion and absorption
I needed this video so bad. I spent about 4 hours yesterday morning researching Magnesium, trying to figure out the best option for helping prevent migraines.
I want to wish you a Very Merry Christmas 🎄, you are a superstar 🌟all the best for you and your family for the new year too
Thank you Doctor.
Merry Christmas everyone .
✨️🫶✨️
No problem. Happy holidays!
I love Christmas 🎄✝️
I had a idiopathic sudden cardiac arrest 8 years ago, a year later I was shocked once a month Jan-April and would end up in the hospital a couple days while they try to figure me out . My heart doctor finally noticed my magnesium levels were low every time, when I had my SCA and subsequent defibrillator shocks. Since then I’ve been taking a lot of magnesium (glycinate is the best) and CoQ10; haven’t had a cardiac event since. I’ll never stop taking these two supplements.
Love your information delivery. It’s understandable & no nonsense. You’re very much appreciated. Thank you
Wow, I had no idea about this magnesium mistake! 😱 Thanks for breaking it down so clearly. Definitely rethinking my supplement routine and making sure I’m getting it right. Great insights and valuable information-keep up the fantastic work!
Superb. Performances, script, direction, filming and music.
EXCELLENT
I take a liquid supplement from whole foods a vitamin D magnesium calcium citrate. Especially in the winter I take it daily. Definitely have less pain and stiffness when taking this supplement daily. I also think dates are high in magnesium and I eat that in my salads
I take 1000 mg of magnesium glycinate over the course of the day, with 300 mg of it about an hour before bed. Always with ACV beforehand. That and a warm pair of socks keeps my legs from cramping at night.
Can you just type out “ACV” instead of abbreviating it in your comment? So people who are not familiar with that abbreviation, which is many people, since we are on a channel to learn about health-related things, can understand?
Acv is Apple cider vinegar
thats too much magnesium
Too mich apple cider vinegar is too much acid for kidneys. Also it needs to be diluted in a cup of water and consumed via a straw. There should be some off days when you don't take too much vinegar.
Magnesium is crucial for many bodily functions, but deficiency is common. Common mistakes include not taking enough, not taking it long enough, and not addressing absorption issues. Proper dosage, timing, and complementary nutrients like vitamin D are important for effectiveness.
been taken magnesium for over a year and have not had any of the regular cold and flu I'd always have!!! definitely seen a big difference
I was taking one magnesium pill a day for years .then I had to start taking two a day cos I started to get cramps again which was the reason I started to take magnesium in the first place .I was going to ask you why did I have to go to two ?then I heard you say insulin and I’m on insulin.I love your videos May Elohim bless you and your family🙏🏼❤️
What The best vitamins for absorption ?
Do you have low stomach acid?
ACV.
I use magnesium chloride dissolved in my drinking water
Lets you get plenty drip fed over the day, and it's already dissolved ir the water so no issues with breaking down tough tablets at all
Bonus: it's literally dirt cheap. 1kg bag costs £4 and makes 500 doses of 250mg magnesium basically
I’ve been using a homemade magnesium spray and is helping me sleep better and less pains throughout my body. Your thoughts on the spray?
Magnesium and Vit. D with zinc didn't stop my inflammatory gut, I had to dry fast 3 days long without food or water each week for several weeks before I was cured.
How did you know your gut was inflamed? 🤔
Great information on magnesium!👌🏾
Glad to know that you liked this post!
Please do a podcast with RFK. It would break the internet :)
Thank you for the information!
Dr. Berg Why does Magnesium Glycinate make me dizzy and give me horrible vertigo? Doesn't seem to matter the dosage. I switched to Magnesium Citrate and that doesn't make me dizzy.
It's the glycine causing that. Many people can't tolerate it. There are many post about it on reddit
Thanks Doc, Have a good one !
Pumpkin seeds for breakfast with some eggs is amazing
It's a shame most pumpkin seeds sold in stores are imported from China ie. come with a dose of heavy metals, pesticides and other crap from their polluted soils. And don't believe their 'organic' claims for even a second, it's all fake. This also applies to most USA brands who just buy the seeds in bulk from Chin and only package in USA
Of Magnesium, few know more than I. Greater absorption is through a Mg sulfate spray on the skin, especially for cramps, bypass the failing (struggling/compromised) digestive system to get greater use of it, at once. Magnesium malate preferentially loads to muscles, magnesium glycinate more for everything else. If insulin is compromised, can have a wasting effect: mg is, once used, and floating in blood, gets to kidneys and is filtered out then at a second stage is re-absorbed if your kidneys are working properly. If insulin is not working great, instead that magnesium is lost to urine. Creating a rapid deficiency. As in, everything you do, especially muscular work, that burns through Mg, loses it to the urine. Cramps, especially night cramps in the leg, are complicated by micro-shivering of the leg to keep warm, you won't notice the muscles contracting to make heat but you will lose magnesium locally and cramp. Mg cramps are not contraction caused by Mg they are the inability to use Mg to unload the contracted muscle - it locks up and stays that way until enough Mg is present to unlock it. An Mg spray can unlock that within seconds, it absorbs that well. Thank you Dr Berg I don't think I have seen any of your videos talking nonsense, where so many in the industry talk ... nonsense. But you could do a deep deep explainer of Mg covering the points I made above.
Why does noone mention magnesium chloride at all? You can dissolve it in water so no issues breaking down tough tablets at all. And it's literally dirt cheap at 1kg costs £4 and makes 500 doses of 250mg magnesium!
Thank you and good morning!
My chiropractor told me to take magnesium until I got diahrrea, and then back off 1 pill. 4-400 mg capsules gave me diahrrea, so I have been on 3- 400 mg capsules for years, along with 5000 vitamin D.
@deborahdeck - the Mag. Glycinate won’t give you diarrhea - at least that’s been my experience - I also take Mag Threonate which was recommended for migraines - from what Dr. Berg says, only certain types of the common magnesium like citrate & I believe oxide, cause bathroom issues - he has several videos on this, I believe - Merry Christmas from Florida 😎🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Na mag glycinate does it to me.
Where are you finding a 400mg pill? I have to take 4 to get to 400mg total wh8ch seems to be the common dosage on all brands I have come across
@@ThatsMe1971the Vitamin Shoppe has 350mg capsules.
Diarrhea is one of the (sometimes intended) side effects of too much magnesium, but different kinds are absorbed differently. Some are not absorbed very well and pass through the digestion track and others cross the brain barrier and can cause hypermagnesemia (too much magnesium) affecting your heart and respiratory system. It's important to let your medical doctor or primary care physician know what dose you're taking, hypermagnesemia is rare and only occurs with supplements.
Magnesium stopped my eye twitching and insomnia. Thank you Dr. Berg!!!!
Do you take it with vitamin d?
@ yes. I also take Dr Bergs Vit D3 &K2
Nice videos. Please make video on treatment of coitel cephalgia..thanks for good information
Thank you for your suggestion, we will look into this for future videos.
This video was right on time ! It randomly popped up in my notifications . I been ordering different brands of magnesium glycinate thinking the ones I have already not working . I’m also taking Vitamin D K2 daily , I’m on and off with these supplements feeling discourage but I’m really not giving them consistency thinking they’re not working .
Thank you, Dr Berg. Excellent information. Great video 💯
