3:56 Signs of a magnesium deficiency
4:59 The earliest sign of a magnesium deficiency
Today, I’m going to share 22 signs of a magnesium deficiency. Sixty percent of magnesium is in the bone, 20% is in the muscle, 19% is in the soft tissue, and 1% is in the blood.
Magnesium deficiency is the most overlooked deficiency because it cannot be detected by a blood test.
The top causes of magnesium deficiency include:
• Consumption of sugar and refined carbs
• Alcohol consumption
• Cirrhosis of the liver
• NPK fertilizer leads to crops that are low in magnesium
• Malabsorption from gut inflammation
• Diuretics
• PPIs
• Gastric bypass surgery
• Low vitamin D
• Inflammation
Diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease are all associated with low magnesium.
The best sources of magnesium are leafy greens, almonds, and dark chocolate, but some of these foods contain oxalates. Oxalates block the absorption of magnesium. Meat, cheese, and shellfish contain magnesium and do not contain oxalates.
Here are 22 surprising signs of magnesium deficiency:
• Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Depression
• Migraines
• Restless legs syndrome
• Muscle cramps
• Fatigue
• Tourette's syndrome
• Oxidative cholesterol
• High homocysteine levels
• High blood pressure
• Calcification of the arteries
• Arrhythmias
• Stroke
• Metabolic syndrome
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome
• Kidney stones
• Higher levels of calcium in the blood
• Inflammation
• Nystagmus
• Asthma
Neuromuscular excitability, or tetany, is the number 1 earliest sign of a magnesium deficiency. Tetany is a twitching of the muscles, often affecting the left eye.
Magnesium is required for proper nerve function. When you’re deficient, the nerves become more excited, leading to faster nerve impulses.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you understand how to spot a magnesium deficiency. I’ll see you in the next video.
I used to have severe depression and anxiety. Discovering Magnesium was a life changer.
This is exactly what I done. I used to be on medication for depression and anxiety for long time . Without going to any therapy sessions, with Keto diet and magnesium supplements I am feeling mentally stable for 14 months now

I’m in the hospital right now for flu and when I was admitted through the ER they gave me two rounds of magnesium IV. Helped a lot with my breathing.
nice, I'll intake more Mg after hearing this
About 5 days ago I had twitching going on under my left eye! Even tho I'm eating well I have malabsorption from a digestion issue - and it doesn't help that caffeine inhibits mag absorption either.. I drink coffee
One of the reasons I trust what you say is that you look and sound so well and healthy and you are looking better and better with age. Always appreciate your videos 😀👍
Been watching your stuff since mid-January at 275lbs. Started fasting and doing keto and I’m now down FIFTY pounds. I’ve dropped significant fat. Love your stuff. Building muscle like never before & taking B1 daily. Thank you Dr. Berg!!!!

So glad I have found your channel, really trying to recover my health after years of neglect due to severe depression. Presentation style is so easy to listen to, very pleasant early morning with some decaf tea... I got my mum taking magnesium citrate and stop taking her high blood pressure meds. After 39 years of high blood pressure, it has now dropped to normal levels and she feels better. Just starting mushroom complex on top of vitamin b, c and d... minerals magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc with a low dose of shilajet. I've not even had a common cold for over 4 years and i have not had a vaccine since 2000 which was only to move to America before i was an adult and had my own choice.
The one it happened to me you didn't mention: water retention! Once I increased magnesium my face went back to normal and is not bloating anymore
Which mag?
Forms of Magnesium
Chloride: detoxing, metabolism, kidney function
Citrate: not recommended, as it interferes with Ceruloplasmin & can cause iron dysregulation & health issues
Glycinate: relaxing, good absorption rate, leaky gut, nerve pain
Malate: energizing, fibromyalgia, muscle pain
Oxide: good in small doses throughout the day
Sulfate: small oral doses, best in bath
Taurate & orotate: cardiovascular health
Threonate: brain injuries, PTSD, depression, neuro conditions, anxiety
Mag Water: one of the co-factors, improves absorption

I will look for those two and test which one works best for me and for what since they don't make a combination of the two 😊
@@rofree2470what about magnesium carbonate
good to know!
I’ve been suffering for the past year and a half with extreme nerve pain and muscle twitches. I had an isolated arrhythmia of afib and converted back to sinus rhythm on my own. Before all this I was running about 5 miles a day. I had a GI doc prescribe me 40MG of Esomeprazole and tell me that the nerve pain in my chest was due to reflux. I’ve had a CT and MRI of every part of my body and they say everything is fine other than a low marrow signal (anemia implied). I have felt for the longest time low magnesium was the issue but could never find the data to back it up. I’m currently taking magnesium glycinate. I may start slowly increasing my daily dosage. Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom I do think I was meant to see this video. I wish you a long and healthy life.
Yesterday i was thinking that i need to eat more magnesium rich foods, today Dr. Berg published this video. This man really knows what his followers need.
Love you Dr. Berg❤ thanks for everything
Too funny…. I take Mag in my coffee every morning (Organika ‘Relax Enhanced)))
Just before bed last night, I decided to give myself a well needed TLC Epsom Salt bath after using my pumice,…. Slept like a newborn 🤗
He's always reading my mind and making videos on things that I think about lol
There are no magnesium rich foods except for chocolate. Magnesium disappeared from the US soils back in the 1930s due to over-farming. It has never been replaced. Chocolate is the only plant food that has magnesium because it is grown overseas. You pretty much have to get it from epsom salt baths, magnesium oil or pills. The oil rubbed on the soles of the feet and the Epsom salts are much more effective than the pills.
Me too dude im mad ive been to busy to plant
@@pollypurree1834 I sometimes get chocolate from a friend in Granada. The Caribbean still produces some of the least processed chocolate in the world. I didn't know about the epsom salt, guess i am going to have to try it
Most helpful and genuine doctor on the internet .🙏
Excellent, I understood everything.
Great production too
Dear Dr. Berg. I've been following you for a bit now and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do for us. I personally don't know anyone who shares so much information, so nicely explained, and who has such reach over the youtube community, which is great because otherwise I probably would not have seen your videos. And still, you deserve millions of times more than you have. No one can replace you. I finally see hope for improving my life and that of my family. Much respect and love for you
Even when I think one of Dr. Berg's videos does not pertain to me, it pertains to me!
Menstruating Ladies! Take your electrolytes (especially Magnesium) when you have menstrual cramps aka muscle cramps. It will change your life.❤❤❤

Wow. Never cease to be amazed by this gentleman/Dr 💗
I've been dealing with Tetany for about a year and a half! Started taking Magnesium L-Threonate. And a few days later, the Tetany subsided! Thanks for all the postings, Dr Berg.
how much do you take?
Those are the exact symptoms I had before I started taking magnesium. I had no idea that I was severely deficient in it. Thank you Dr. Berg for educating us
He is a life saver.
Glad I could help!

My mother has chronic low magnesium and it’s scary how ALOT of healthcare professionals are unaware of the link between diabetes and low magnesium. My mother was very, very, very sick before they figured out how much was caused from magnesium deficiency.
I would’ve never known about the twitching under my eye if had not been subscribed to you and watched your other videos. My doctor who is very good but even he was stumped on this and said it was muscle strain. I’ve been taking magnesium just before bedtime for a while now and the signs have disappeared. Thank you for all that you do to help us fill in the gaps. Take care and be well all.

No type of magnesium has worked for me the way topical magnesium does . I use 3 pumps in my hand and rub it on my body . I get better sleep , I’m less stressed and my digestion is working like no other . TMI but when I rub it on my stomach I have gas and a bowel movement shortly after .
Interesting and I will try that out. Thanks

@@debrahatch8906 wow that’s amazing! I’ve been over 300lbs about 4 times in my life and I’ve always gained it back, but after truly learning about nutrition through Dr berg, it’s been the first time I haven’t struggled to keep the weight off, now I’m steady at 210-220lbs at 6’2” tall!
I wish you nothing but the best on your health journey!
I'm shocked, I have this exact thing 5:18, as I don't have any pain when this happens, I didn't pay attention, I never understood what it is but thanks to you I know it now.
I started taking magnesium about 6 months ago because of severe leg cramps, hand cramps and eye twitching. Doctors shrugged but magnesium is not routinely checked but I went ahead and started taking it since nobody was concerned. I would just move my leg when laying in bed and it was so severe a cramp that I had to get out of bed and stand in order to straighten my leg. Sometimes it was both legs and my husband would have to help me get it. It wasn’t just the foot and calf muscles but the hamstring as well and was incredibly painful. The magnesium has helped. I just ran across your video and realized that I had several of the signs of magnesium other than the cramps and twitching of my eye and was deficient. When obvious signs and textbook symptoms exist, doctors must think we are hypochondriacs making up symptoms or just can’t correlate book knowledge with reality. I will never stop talking the magnesium as it was incredibly painful and I was exhausted from lack of sleep and couldn’t function well. When you can just stretch your leg or point your toe in the doctor’s office and the toes, foot or leg cramps and nothing is done, it feels hopeless.
When I used to drink alcohol on regular basis, I had random muscle twitches and I had no idea why. My guess is that my body lacked vitamins and minerals but I didn't know which ones. Last year I started taking magnesium for other reasons after I stopped drinking alcohol, and most of the issues related to alcohol consumption started going away after few weeks.
Thanks for another great video! 👍
Thank you Dr. Berg - this is the most comprehensive, yet concise, description of the importance of magnesium. I recently bought your Magnesium Citrate capsules at 400mg each. (most brands only provide a little over 100 mg) I combine that with Magnesium Glycinate and Threonate daily. The RDA is only 450 but Dr. Peter Attia and some other researchers recommend up to 1000 mg per day. I know you've done videos on types of magnesium but would love for you to do an addendum to this to link to those videos and also talk about dosages.
Great idea!
@curiouscat3384 I've heard all this too, excellent idea! I'm wondering if they tell us to dose 500mg to 1000mgs because of absorption issues? I personally use magnesium glycinate and wonder if I should up my dose to 500mgs?
@@allison471 Not trying to answer your question because I'm certainly no expert but I've heard from different sources that you can take as much as you want and will know when it's too much because your stool will become very soft (actually shmeary, lol). I'm taking as much as I can afford because I'm 70 and trying to regenerate strength and muscle so I work out a lot, and do gardening and landscaping - many aches and pains :)
@@curiouscat3384 thank you for the reply, I greatly appreciate it! I'm no expert either but I have been researching food, minerals vitamins/supplements for the last 15 years as to try to improve my health and keep myself alive in this crazy world we live in! Lol Can't wait to be able to go back to my functional medicine Dr. as I suffer from autoimmune diseases, for more guidance. In the meantime I will keep educating myself the best I can and reading and sharing information with people like yourself, thank you again for your input. Take care 😊 P. S. If you are into reading I just learned of a wonderful book today on Dr. Ken Berry's channel called Forever Strong, a science based book by Dr. Lyon. She was on his channel about 12 days ago.
@@curiouscat3384 Also, if you work outside in the summer and sweat a lot, you’ll require higher-than-average amounts of magnesium, since it gets sweated out!
One thing I don't understand doctor is if they don't put the magnesium in the soil and we eat leafy greens without magnesium what good is that?
My thoughts exactly
Cows eat lleafy vegetables and produce red meat and produce 30 litres or milk...per day..
Which is the best Supplement which is cost effective as well
Hello,dr.Berg.What mg to take?Thank you.
Amazing video, Dr Berg. Mg Glycinate is wonderful alongside with healthy keto foods. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thx, you linked a potassium video at the end but mentioned you were linking a magnesium vid, I’m assuming you get potassium & magnesium from the same thing, ie 6 or 7 cups of veg?
wow very interesting infos thanks you so much doctor
It all makes sense. I was most definitely deficient in magnesium the past couple years. I had all the symptoms and it got worst when I fractured my foot late last year. I'm in my late 30s and that's the first time I've broken a bone. So this year I just started taking a magnesium and zinc supplement. I'm starting to feel much better. Just need to work on getting more quality sleep.
Thanks doc 🙏🏼

Thank you Dr Berg. I have got my hubby on to taking magnesium supplements recently because he has a slew of those indicators and he takes Omeprazole, which I detest and am keen to get him off it.
Hi Doc Berg! Great video. Thanks for teaching us a bit more about the magnesium cycle on our bodies and how to detect its deficiency!! Would you please make a video on how to detect magnesium overdosing?
Apparently it’s quite hard to take too much because it’s water soluble so we excrete what we don’t need. That’s what I read anyway. Maybe don’t take a tonne of it or anything else tho. The best way I found is getting blood work done as well as how I’m feeling obviously. I have a malabsorption problem so I’ve had to supplement, which isn’t exactly cheap, but in two years I’ve corrected my vit d, b vits, magnesium, calcium etc. I was almost wheelchair bound and genuinely thought I was getting paralysed but nope it was years of nutritional depletion that was largely poo pooed by doctors until I researched, diagnosed and cured myself. I thought my life was over. Listen to your body and demand bloods to see what you may be lacking because “they” are quick to say our good nutrition rarely allows us to be depleted as if we are in the third world.
They’re only fooling themselves.
Thank you for another concise explanation.

Magnesium is a mineral rather than a collection of ingredients, but I can certainly outline its best health benefits and natural sources:
**Health Benefits of Magnesium:**
1. **Bone Health:** Magnesium is essential for bone formation and density. It helps regulate calcium levels in the body and contributes to the structural development of bones. Adequate magnesium intake may help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
2. **Muscle Function:** Magnesium plays a crucial role in muscle function and contraction. It helps regulate neuromuscular signals, allowing muscles to relax and contract properly. Magnesium deficiency can lead to muscle cramps, spasms, and weakness.
3. **Heart Health:** Magnesium is involved in maintaining normal heart rhythm and function. It helps regulate the electrical activity of the heart and supports blood vessel health. Adequate magnesium intake may help lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of arrhythmias, and improve overall cardiovascular health.
4. **Energy Production:** Magnesium is a cofactor for many enzymes involved in energy metabolism. It helps convert food into energy, facilitates ATP (adenosine triphosphate) synthesis, and supports mitochondrial function. Adequate magnesium levels are essential for optimal energy production and metabolic function.
5. **Nervous System Function:** Magnesium plays a role in neurotransmitter regulation and nerve signal transmission. It helps regulate the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which are involved in mood regulation, sleep, and cognitive function. Adequate magnesium intake may help support a healthy nervous system and reduce the risk of mood disorders and cognitive decline.
6. **Blood Sugar Regulation:** Magnesium is involved in insulin action and glucose metabolism. It helps regulate blood sugar levels by promoting insulin sensitivity and facilitating glucose uptake into cells. Adequate magnesium intake may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
7. **Anti-inflammatory Effects:** Magnesium has anti-inflammatory properties and helps regulate the body's inflammatory response. It inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. Adequate magnesium intake may help lower the risk of chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, asthma, and cardiovascular disease.
8. **Stress Reduction:** Magnesium plays a role in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which regulates the body's response to stress. It helps modulate the release of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, promoting relaxation and stress reduction. Adequate magnesium intake may help mitigate the effects of stress and improve resilience.
**Natural Sources of Magnesium:**
- Dark leafy greens (spinach, kale, Swiss chard)
- Nuts and seeds (almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds)
- Whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, oats, barley)
- Legumes (black beans, chickpeas, lentils)
- Avocado
- Bananas
- Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel)
- Dark chocolate
Nice new camera setup doc!
Hey, thanks!
Thank you for your sharing this ❤❤❤
All the best!
Aye beefing up Mg 😊. Great video, Dr Berg. Thank you 👍🏻❤
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I asked my doctor about my twitch. She shrugged. Must’ve been last in her class.
Here’s a symptom of low magnesium over 10 years(long term deficiency): I developed these bb to marble sized bumps on my wrist.
I started taking magnesium glycinate and it took around a month for those things to melt away.
Traditional medical schools, unfortunately, do not include nutrition or natural supplements in their curriculum.
Most of the MDs I've consulted were of the opinion that natural supplements like vitamins, minerals, herbs are a sham.
Thank you and good morning!
Thanks for the heart and for your daily insights! Always!
Another great video Dr.Berg.
Thumbs up for everyone 👍

But pumpkin seeds are very high magnesium 🤔
Same with Dark Chocolate that's why people were saying Dark Chocolate or zero sugar Chocolate improves mood and that's what magnesium do but now Dr. Berg saying it won't give you any magnesium because oxalate blocks it!
He also said cooking destroys magnesium while beans and chickpeas are high in magnesium
Pumpkin seeds are not high oxalate
Great doctor. Is this information in Spanish.? So I can shared with my family.
I LOVE DR BERG!!! HES THEEEE BEST EVER!!!❤❤❤ I BECOME SOO SMART BY FOLLOWING HIS INFORMATION AND I LOVE IT!!❤❤❤
Hair Mineral Analysis Testing is a great way to find out how much magnesium you actually have absorbed if anyone is wondering.
Which form of a magnesium supplement works best? Thank you.
Forms of Magnesium
Chloride: detoxing, metabolism, kidney function
Citrate: not recommended, as it interferes with Ceruloplasmin & can cause iron dysregulation & health issues
Glycinate: relaxing, good absorption rate, leaky gut, nerve pain
Malate: energizing, fibromyalgia, muscle pain
Oxide: good in small doses throughout the day
Sulfate: small oral doses, best in bath
Taurate & orotate: cardiovascular health
Threonate: brain injuries, PTSD, depression, neuro conditions, anxiety
Mag Water: one of the co-factors, improves absorption

Excellent! Thank you very much.This was short concise and thorough
I recently found out from the doctor through blood work that I was low in vitamin d and magnesium
I was extremely fatigued all day long period I also had muscle.I haven't got a case of shingles during this ordeal.
Then my allergies were heightened like never before.And I had to go on allergy medicine
For home gardeners, an easy way to add magnesium to your soil is to sprinkle epsom salts
And for home bathers, adding epsom salts to your bathwater is also a good way to absorb magnesium through your skin!
Thank you for the information.
yes ,but i think its good to also water it in as you do because the dry salts will kill all bugs and pollinators. from what i understand salts are used to dehydrate and kill bugs. when i use it i try to make certain that most of it gets turned into soil and watered in good.
What's crazy is I've been taking vitamin d and magnesium together for months. I used to be so depressed. Working night shift and I've had cancer. Dr. What is the correct magnesium supplement that we should be taking vs what we should stay away from because there are different kinds.
Start with the friendliest version that doesn't cause you to get diarrhea which is Magnesium Glycinate 400g
Stay away from oxide use glycinate or bisglycinate. If supplements give you the runs try magnesium chloride oil on the skin or buy magnesium chloride flakes and make foot soaks or put some in your bath if you have one
I'm using magnesium bisglycinate and I have a very goodnight sleep
You need sunlight, too.
@@ranelleabundo1601hi, what brand?
We all love him and are grateful for all his information
I had restless leg syndrome at night. Didn't know why. Learned about magnesium, started taking it and the restless leg stopped!
