I’ve suffered with fatigue for MANY years 😩 A couple of weeks ago, on Sept 22nd, I decided to double my Mg intake. I cannot believe that I have NOT had ANY fatigue for two weeks now!! I’m floored!! This is huge! This is like a dream come true 🥰 So happy you are sharing this info! 🤗
@alisonlogee 👏 That's fantastic 👏👏👏. I've been taking magnesium for the past several years to help with insomnia and it helps me to relax and fall asleep easier. But I too have been EXTREMELY FATIGUED for many years and my doctor blows me off 😢😔😡. Would you PLEASE 🙏 let me know which brand you take and how much so that I might be blessed with the same experience as you? I would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!! So happy for you.
I want to cry. Because I am happy that I found Dr Berg, that he teaches me and that I get the answers I am looking for. But also because I am sad. This video gives me the answers my doctors didn't give me for the past 4 years. At least now I know what to work on again, thank you Dr Berg! 🙏🏼
A neurologist prescribed me Lyrica for my legs but the side effects were brutal. I took magnesium and stopped the prescription meds and my leg issues improved significantly. Told neurologist and didn’t even get a reaction or affirmation. Sad.
It’s so sad that all doctors out there don’t spend time to find the root cause of illness. Dr Berg is the hero. I wish I can find doctor like him in my area.
I wish everyone healing to their bodies and peace of mind after all the stress of these symptoms ...it made me wanna cry too because ....my older brother is scared to stop taking his high blood pressure medicine...and i hope he knows now that magnesium helps ...but im scared for him cuz the drs have him scared that like he cant make his enlarged heart normal again..because it has to be able to go back to normal again....but i hate the systmes too i hate how we have to stress alot to make a living
Magnesium Bisglycinate is one of the most effective bioavailable Magnesium Forms👍.➡It's attached to 2 glycine molecules. Attracts less water & has much higher absorption. Glycine also helps reduce pH in small intestine, supporting absorption & preventing Magnesium deficiency. Beneficial for improving Magnesium status, generally well-tolerated & unlikely to cause diarrhea. Involved in energy metabolism, muscle contraction, DNA synthesis, blood glucose regulation & reproduction🙂. 🚨⚠Avoid these versions of magnesium: Magnesium sulfate,Magnesium carbonate,Magnesium oxide and Magnesium hydroxide.
Great comment and very accurate. As someone with a severe mag deficiency due to 3 bowel resections, only Magnesium Bisglycinate helps, is absorbed, is easy on my stomache and intestine, without it the twitching, cramps etc....start, the others do nothing.
Years ago we were told citrate was a good form. I now take glycinate but is citrate still considered acceptable since it’s more readily available and considerably cheaper?
Great video! I was definitely mag deficient ( insomnia, IR, cramping, and all the hair had fallen off my legs) but fatigue was not an issue. I was always jacked up on cortisol due to chronic stress. Months of salads made me worse with severe bloating. I wasn’t digesting due to lack of HCL. And I wasn’t absorbing the magnesium and other supplements. I cut out salads and did a daily blended cabbage juice instead of salads. I started a daily morning routine of soaking my feet in epsom salt for 30 minutes with deep breathing and increased my HCl and supplements with meals. Also, IF and low carb. The keto was depleting me. No cell phone or blue light after dinner. I walk my dog after dinner and started playing guitar again and reading before bed. The hair grew back on my legs, I no longer have cramps, and insomnia is gone. It’s an ongoing process but you have to continually find what works for you. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. Peace love and blessings.
@@jimf937 Insulin resistance. If you’ve got a belly you have it. You get it from spiking your blood sugar constantly with high carb/sugar foods like bread and crackers/cookies. Even just eating too many meals snacks.
Apple cider vinegar can increase your stomach acid and help with absorption and actually help stop acid reflux. Your stomach sphincter only closes if there is enough acid. Docs will give you an antacid when most people need more acid not less. More evidence docs don’t know half the things they think they do. Yet are too puffed up to change. Why Dr. Berg is 1000% better than a traditional doc.
MEDICAL doctors have their hands tied. They lose their licence in the US if they deviate one iota from the strict handbook which supports big pharma. And, they are not taught good nutrition. Only dentists, chiropractitioners etc can speak the truth!
I had chronic fatigue years ago, I would sleep for 15 hours a day and STILL be constantly tired. I went to drs and naturopaths. Eventually I asked the naturopath if maybe I could be Magnesium deficient and she put me on a magnesium supplement and the difference was unbelievable! Within days I was back to normal. Totally agree that fatigue is the best indicator 💪
Do you mind sharing the supplement? I too can sleep 15+ hours a day. The type of tired I am isn't just fatigue it's beyond exhaustion.. help!! I'm useless
@@RealGoneDame Hey mate sorry to hear you’re going through that! Unfortunately I’m in Australia and its an Australian product called “Ultra Muscleze” …not sure if its available worldwide but its from a company called “bioceuticals” I’m pretty sure any mag supplement should be ok. I think mag glycerate is the best kind? You could also try taking baths in epsom salts. You’ve also got to get your gut in order, because I think thats at the root of the problem…thats been a life long challenge for me. good luck my friend 👍
Here's another one, fatty liver also causes fatigue. Everyone thinks fatty liver is just from alcohol, nope its also from eating too much sugar. So again diet and exercise. All the things causing Americans to be obese and develop diabetes are also causing them to have low energy.
Dr. Berg. The following comment's are not related to this video but I had to share some personal information with you and how your video's have helped me so much. January 2023 I had my first A1C test and was told at 6.4 I was pre-diabetic. A month later I was at my Dr's office and he did another test and I was even higher at 6.6. I really didn't know what to do till my brother suggested I check out your videos. The first one I saw was "What would happen if you gave up sugar for two weeks". That video changed my life. The fact that the medical industry doesn't share this info is criminal. When you stated that if to much sugar is the problem, then why don't you stop eating sugar, it just sounded right to me. And that's exactly what I did. I weighed 270#'s at 6'1" tall. I had a follow up in three months and I was down to 250#'s and the A1C had dropped to 5.7. Still the low end of pre-diabetes but moving in the right direction. Today I had a follow up and my A1C was 4.8!!! and my weight was 207! I now read food labels but not once have concerned myself with calories, and have never gone to bed hungry! Thank you so much!!! I look forward to many years of watching your videos!
@@divakim206 By reading his comment, it appears he lost the first 20 from Feb-May, then from May-Nov lost the additional 50. He posted 10 months ago so I’m going by what he wrote.
I was experiencing heart palpitations and muscle cramping. After listening to your videos and following your advice, I have had no problems for about a year now. I also added B-1 to my regiment. Thank you Dr. Berg!
I recently was watching this daytime program and the host had a nutritionist on her show telling everyone about vitamins and minerals and specifically she mentioned magnesium. She said that if someone was eating breakfast cereal in the morning and that it was "fortified", as many overly processed, cold cereals indicate on the outside of the box, that they'd be fine. I about lost it. I don't know how anyone can think that they can get the necessary vitamins and minerals they need from a "fortified", sugar laden, overly processed, cold breakfast cereal. Thanks for this important information!
If you are taking PPI's your ability to absorb magnesium is greatly affected. I ended up in intensive care for 4 days due to low magnesium. You require magnesium to process potassium. With low potassium my heart was palpitating. Definitely use a supplement if you are over 50. Don't risk it. Low magnesium is an awful feeling and he is right, like your battery is not charging overnight.
PPI the most prescribed drug here in UK and probably worldwide. Two weeks max unless other issues. The damage they do is horrendous. My daughter suffered
Omg im so happy he mentioned the glycinate form specifically! It makes me appreciate my doctor so much more!! I went in to see her during my first trimester, struggling with pregnancy depression and trying to figure out how to manage it without meds. As with many docs, she first told me about my options as far as prescriptions go since SSRIs are considered safe during pregnancy. Well, I didn't want them, and I told her I would only consider them as a last resort and was hoping to find a more natural solution. She was super happy about this and then recommended magnesium glycinate, specified it had to be glycinate, and I started taking them that day! Let me tell you something here, I've dealt with depression throughout a lot of my life and it's gotta be pretty bad for me to talk to a doctor about it tbh. Taking the extra magnesium has taken the edge off and allowed me to really enjoy my pregnancy, get along better with my bf, and has eased some of the other preggo symptoms like leg cramps and not being able to sleep well at night!!! I consider it my miracle supplement lmao
Wow, what a time for this video to come out. I quite literally bought Magnesium supplements last night because I came to the conclusion that I was super low. (Was still getting fatigue and now nerve pain, muscle twitches) Also turns out if you take large doses of vitamin D, which I do since I have autoimmune issues, it depletes Mg, so worth looking into!
Sharing Dr Berg notes: Magnesium is a cofactor involved in 350 enzymes. A cofactor is something that is required by an enzyme to work. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency: • Cramping • Twitching • Arrhythmia • Osteoporosis • Osteomalacia • Insulin resistance • Insomnia • High cortisol • Depression However, the number one symptom of magnesium deficiency is fatigue. The top cause of low magnesium is not consuming enough magnesium in the diet. Foods rich in magnesium are vegetables and leafy greens. Consuming large salads is a great way to get the magnesium you need. But you can also take a magnesium supplement. If you do take a supplement, consider *magnesium glycinate* Other causes of magnesium deficiency: 1. Refined foods 2. Fructose 3. Alcohol 4. Certain medications Magnesium supplements not recommended other than as laxatives: Magnesium oxide Magnesium hydroxide Magnesium carbonate Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
@@beankeys8812 Ok roger back up on the way, ''one adam 56 request back up as soon as possible, fellow keto officer down! send carnivore medic as well to the scene!''
I was never explained from doctors about magnesium deficiencies or potassium when I was diagnosed with a-fib 14 years ago. I've been doing your healthy keto for 1-1/2 years now. I also use a supplement d-ribos which has and is helping me with those deficiencies along with just OMAD. Thank you Dr. Berg for all your great knowledge and advice!!!! You have been the most help for me while on this amazing journey!!!!
Nobody in the world get sufficient zinc and megnisuium,😢it's difficult now a days to even get proper protein.Whole world of food is filled with high carb and Omega 6 fats which are abundant
I was not sleeping well. I tried everything including what my doctor said about helping to lower my cortisol levels and resetting my circadian rhythm but I would be up until 3am and I would not want to get up until 10 or 11am. I felt awful... I tried Zolpidem, I tried melatonin, hell I even tried THC gummies for sleep. Nothing seemed to really help. I ended up getting magnesium chloride bath salts that I soak in the bathtub before bed and Magnesium glycinate gummies. What a game changer. I have never felt better... I was definitely magnesium deficient. Now my stress levels are normal and I'm sleeping so well. I fall asleep within a few minutes now and sleep all night. Listen to him... magnesium is so important!
@@Drberg I saw your video yesterday on TH-cam censoring you! WE your followers will follow you wherever you go! & Thank YOU so MUCH for this video! & all the others on educating us The Truth about our health & the naturalist way to protect it! You should be celebrated by the world for your great work in helping people take back their health! Naturally! Instead of taking pharmaceuticals! 👏👏👏
Hi Dr Berg. Love your videos like always. Thank you for sharing. I order your supplements. How long should or can a person take magnesium ? Not for a deficiency but for health. Thank you.😊
Me too! They offered me diet pills that they said would give me energy instead, and they just made me nervous and filled with more anxiety. Recently visited a wholistic dietitian and they gave me magnesium and other vitamins to help balance out my deficiencies.
Dr. Taras, my dentist, used a spectrophotometer combined with a computer to test for heavy metal toxicity and mineral deficiencies. It’s easy, non-invasive, and the world’s only intra-cellular test. Once I found out the minerals I was deficient in, took those religiously for one year, went back to retest, and got my levels back to normal. Magnesium was my worst deficiency and now I feel fantastic! ❤
I've been struggling with magnesium deficiency for 10 months with no signs of improvement. Could I ask what form of magnesium you took? How much? How many times per day? I'm desperate, and no doctor (conventional medicine) has been able to guide/help me on this.
I'm so glad you mentioned the mitochondrial need for magnesium to produce ATP. However, I've found many patients I work with consume copious amounts of magnesium, and they still have magnesium deficiency. RBC Magnesium is the best measure for magnesium status and should be as close to 6.5 mg/dL. But taking more magnesium and expecting it to replete your deficiency is like filling a cup of water with a hole in it, and expecting that cup to keep the water in it. That means, if you don't address the mitochondrial "stressors" you will always be playing catch up with the magnesium dosing.
Pumpkin seeds are the best way to get a good amount of Magnesium. The majority won't eat such amount of salads every single day. I crush the seeds and add them to my salad, cereal, or smoothies.
Many older Koreans make a morning concoction that includes pumpkin seeds. I throw them in salads myself. So you buy yours or do you take them out of pumpkins and dry your own?
I'll be honest, I'm not eating the gigantic salad bowl most days either, lol 😂. I take some magnesium in the citrate, taurate, and/or glycinate forms at night maybe 1 hour before bed. Magnesium malate can be good in the mornings. Thanks for spreading the Mg gospel, Dr. Berg!
@@flynneart1111 He likes the magnesium glyinate form the best. It's bound to the amino acid glycine, so it can aid in relaxation, especially at night. Doctor's Best is a good brand for that form, in my experience.
I bought a capsule form of magnesium complex. It’s a 5 in 1 Glycinate, Citrate, Oxide, Malate and Taurate. Is this a good choice? Any feedback and opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
I brought a head of lettuce to a dinner party. People thought I was making a salad to contribute. No. It was my salad. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to eat that much salad while also holding a conversation with friends and strangers? I also had to use what was going to be a punch bowl as my salad bowl. I'm super fun at dinner parties.
I like your videos a lot. They usually cover the subjects completely in a minimal time. You did leave out a very important point on the direct correlation of low magnesium and high blood pressure( no direct correlation to cholesterol levels)
If you get cramps randomly in the day probably magnesium, cramping during exercise probably potassium but a deficiency in one typically increases deficiency in the other
When I ate family meals. We always had a balanced meal and I still had leg cramps as a child. After being on my own the leg cramps disappeared for years. Then as an elder the cramps reappeared and when getting blood work done it was found that I was always low blood potassium. My doctor would have me taking potassium supplements. I was still having problems with leg and hand cramps while working. Saw a shot video about cramps and taking magnesium. It worked for me and my blood potassium would be normal when the doctor would do future blood work. February 14th this year I ended up in the emergency room after getting a bacterial infection that keep me in the bathroom for three days before going to the hospital. Could not eat and horrible things were leaving my body on both ends. The emergency room does blood work and I'm dangerously low on potassium. I ended up on a potassium IV drip for days before I suggested that I needed magnesium. The doctor gave me the magnesium and the potassium in the blood was normal. I was released from Paradise Valley Hospital with a pill bottle with an antibiotic for the bacterial infection that caused my illness. After a few days on my own I couldn't get warm no matter how warmly I was dressed. Not feeling well again I went to an urgent care and was sent to a different hospital were blood clots were found in my lung and legs that were not discovered by the other hospital even though I had been checoked for those types of problems. This hospital checked my blood and I was having the low potassium and I ended up on another potassium IV drip. Had to again ask for magnesium again. What is with these doctors who prescribe magnesium oxide which is the hardest form of magnesium to be absorbed by the body? Again I had to ask for magnesium to stabilize the blood potassium in order to get out of the hospital. Hated all of the needles they bombard you with every hour is unreal. I've never been in a hospital for an illness since I graduated secondary career training when I eat something that put me in the hospital when the doctors thought I had appendicitis but needed my parents permission to operate. By the time they got to the hospital I was feeling better and I was released to my parents. Don't remember if any medication was required...
The USDA RDA for all the minerals and vitamins is intentionally extremely lower than you actually need. 4-5 times higher than USDA RDA is the way to go.
Great timing Dr Berg. I was just going to bed. It’s now 21:00hrs here in Australia 🇦🇺 I needed to hear this. Thank you always for your wonderful contents 🙏
My first symptom is always racing thoughts. As soon as I notice my thoughts are bouncing from one to another, I know I need to take my magnesium supplement. I always take some before bed and it's helped my insomnia.
I use to get heart palpitations and anxiety!! I quit caffeine and started taking 200 mg of magnesium daily and it’s incredible i don’t have those symptoms anymore!!
I like this new style! I like your up to date information reaching me, and I can say that you still show up on my startpage with this new content! Yes!! Greeting and thank you, Dr Berg.
I thought was the only one who felt salads should always have their own plate /bowl man. I can never have somebody do that for me. I need make sure my salad is stacked! And only dressing I use is a squeezed lemon. Those dressings at the grocery store are terrible
If you are magnesium deficient, and can't figure out why, you might look into oxalate dumping. Happened to me, and most doctors have no idea what it is, and they couldn't figure out why I was cramping, twitching, and having heart arrhythmias.
Thank you, I needed this knowledge! I do Not Eat enough Salads, last week I started doing this and I do notice better everything in my body. My energy is better, I do drink red wine. I had eye issues, tiredness, and low energy. Now I am eating Salad for Breakfast! Last night I had a Salad with Baked Wild Salmon on top of it, tomato, red onion; EVOO, herbs, Lemon, Balsamic Vinegar, ACV, and Orange Bell Pepper. Really Good Advice to remember Daily!
Dr Berg, I started taking your adrenal/cortisol supplements for my adrenal body type which have magnesium in most of the supplements….I’m amazed at how much more weight I’m losing and how great I feel. I just realized last week my hair is thicker, you have no idea. My hair is thin and normally I can see my scalp and I am soooo amazed at how great my hair feels now. Oh and my knees aren’t creaking like they normally do. Aaaand I’ve only been on your supplements for a month!!!! Thank you Dr Berg from the bottom of my heart ❤
@@divakim206 Dr Berg had this questionairre posted and I took the quiz…. I wonder if you can search for it on TH-cam which is where I found it. But he does mention in videos what the signs are. Good luck !
Thanks for another wonderful video ! Your channel is brilliant. I truly appreciate your efforts and have enjoyed and benefitted from your information for years. I always recommend your videos. I know someone who is suffering from these symptoms and perhaps she can benefit from watching this info! Keep up the good work. Many Blessings to you and yours. 😀
Research what natural foods have what nutrients. I did and don't buy or take processed supplements. Eat naturally raised or caught meats and organic vegetables, fruits. Dry organ meats, take small bits throughout the week, make homemade 30 hour bone broth, freeze in ice cube trays, drink in hot water, 1 cube per day. I'd rather buy quality food rather than buy supplements.
What I've learned through the years from my functional medicine Dr. 1. A daily whole food vitamins/supplements 2. Vitamin D3/K 5000 IU's per day 3. Atleast 400 mg magnesium glycinate spilt 200 mg morning 200 mg evening 4. Omega-3 good quality fish oil like Nordic Naturals 5. Whole food vitamin B complex 6. A probiotic in powder form you mix w/water so it reaches the colon, yes the live active cultures should be refrigerated, an excellent brand Klaires Labs 7. Whole food vitamin C starting in the Fall 8. I also use Celtic sea salt daily on food or a pinch in my water for the minerals 😊
Dependant upon dose contact your local emergency medical providers and the doctor that provided that medicine in the first instance. All such problems are dealt with by the liver so supporting your liver's function by avoiding all sugars, fruit and alcohol and watching these DB videos would be wise: www.youtube.com/@DrEricBergDC/search?query=support%20liver%20 Best medicines are placed only where a responsible adult has access, a lesson learned we hope.
Good video. Question, how do you consume this much salad? I know nutrients from vegetables are not as bioavialble. In fact, eating too much salad once put me in the hospital because the lettuce blocked my small intestine.
Salads don’t agree with my digestive system. I used to eat them consistently but always found myself suffering from bloated stomach. Warm foods seem to treat me better. What do you recommend? Thxs
Great video Dr. Berg. In addition, certain medications will lower your magnesium level. Just like certain blood pressure medications will lower your potassium levels….long term use of proton pump inhibitors will severely reduce your magnesium levels.
What’s sad is if you have blood pressure issues like POTS that’s all they suggest if those compression stockings don’t work. They should say, “Let’s check all of these other areas first.”
RDA: The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adults 19-51+ years is 400-420 mg daily for men and 310-320 mg for women. Pregnancy requires about 350-360 mg daily and lactation, 310-320 mg.
Thank you for the video, Dr.Berg. What people on the Carnivore diet do about magnesium? Can you get enough of it from meat? Is there a way for your body (including gut bacteria) to create it or convert something else to get it? Same question goes about Potassium.
I am on a meat based diet due to too many food allergies (corn allergy) + EDS (you cannot handle fiber when you have EDS as it only constipates you) so I supplement to get both magnesium + potassium. The potassium one I found and I am trying is by Livingood daily. Very very hard to find stuff free of corn! 😡 corn in stiff now gives me breathing issues.
A good video would be "how to get enough magnesium from food while avoiding excessive oxalates." I know anyone who's ever had a kidney stone would be interested. Just a talk on these lectins and oxalates (anti nutrients) and a pro/con of eating them would be interesting. I'd also like to know more about why mushrooms need to be cooked to destroy some toxin. This is common knowledge, but when Paul Stamets was on the JRE podcast and this subject came up, he acted like he'd be tortured if he talked about it..which was strange. Many he was just being purposefully cryptic and a bit facetious. Idk. ✌❤🔥👁
Not a chance in hell im shoveling that much crap down my throat. Been there done that shit before and never again. The bio availability of minerals from certain plants is so low you couldn't possibly eat that much.
Yes, oxalates and lectins, yikes! Plants are indeed trying to kill you, it's their defense mechanism that nature provides. In so doing, it's nature's way of telling us humans to find other food, not plant food. I went carnivore and all ailments disappeared within 3 months. 👍
@@woodenfencessame, I also had kidney stones due to oxalates but I had no idea that was the reason. When I started my keto diet I ate tons of vegetables especially spinach and pretty quickly started getting pain in my joints and flair ups from old injuries like my knee. When I went full carnivore and cut all the greens all symptoms disappeared. I now have occasional flair ups when I’m dumping oxalates and my electrolytes go bananas.
To answer your question on Stamets, this is what someone said. "Mushrooms, even common button mushrooms, contain traces of carcinogenic compounds in raw form. The same toxin, hydrazine, is also found in portobello mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms contain a naturally occurring formaldehyde. Both chemicals are heat-sensitive and abolished upon exposure to heat."
i've been feeling fatigue very recently along with a lot of problems, actually started with me taking the magnesium from the pharmacy over the one I used to get from you, and as far as I can tell from both sides of magnesium from the last 26 blood test in the past six months along with a few of my other specialized tests, it doesn't do anything for me, because one in particular medication I am on like blocks it or something and I can't avoid it, I have to take it for life every day or risk potentially dying - any solutions like a specific type of magnesium I can take? The oxide was interacting I think with my medication's and my sugars been through the roof along with other physical pains that I didn't have when I was using your magnesium, but neither yours or the pharmacy seems to have effects anyway due to the medication
Dr Berg recommends not to take Magnesium oxide. Magnesium Bisglycinate is one of the most effective bioavailable Magnesium Forms. Taking magnesium along with medications might decrease the effectiveness of medicines and may greatly reduce the effectiveness of a magnesium supplement. To avoid this interaction, take these antibiotics at least 2 hours before, or 4 to 6 hours after the magnesium supplements. Ask your pharmacist about the interactions between your medicine and Magnesium.
@@1973sophia it is an anti-rejection immuno suppressant drug for a recent kidney transplant, the good Doc also said to take your doctors' advice and in this case I would have to take the kidney teams' advice because organ transplants are not exactly common among most people I was doing great before the transplant except for the whole dialysis deal
@@BlacklistedBible yeah I talked with my sister, I mean a pharmacist, about it and what she had in her literature and decided to stop it for a couple days to see how my numbers went and how I felt, felt much better and decided kind of just not taking the magnesium from the pharmacy and the one used to take I get from Dr. Berg and now to check what the results are today soon, but I am already immuno suppressed and I always ask all my questions before trying something out to all my nephrologists
Magnesium glycinate is the most absorbable form I've ever used and truly works excellent for me! I use Biotics Research sold through my practitioner's office and I love it 😊
I just purchased a magnesium pill from Selina Naturally, which sells Celtic sea salt. How do we know if it's a Glycinate? I am curious to know whether this is a quality / worthy product. I will send it back if it's not. Do you have any thoughts on this particular product? Thank you!
Dr Berg, Would you please do a video on Cholesterol in the eye and why this happens? Thank you so much for everything that you do to help others be informed with the truth to help improve their life!!!
Great Video and it seems everything you said about having a deficiency can cause arrhythmia, anxiety, twitching, etc. and I was thinking to myself - that sounds like me. Then I googled the benefits of Magnesium Glycinate for Men and One drop down says... What Happens if you take Magnesium Glycinate every day? Taking magnesium supplements such as magnesium glycinate can cause side effects, including nausea and abdominal pain. In larger quantities, it can also cause diarrhea and more severe side effects, such as an irregular heartbeat, extreme hypotension, and cardiac arrest. Dr Berg can you confirm this? and what is your MG daily recommendation for a 250lb male
You’re inspiring me over here in the UK! And thanks to this video I’ve realised I’m taking the wrong magnesium supplements and eating no where near enough salad greens!! I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 8 years ago and now peri menopause so this advice could actually help me to get more energy, less pain to be able to start to enjoy life again. Namaste 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@gizmo5980 I have my eye on malate but going to see if I can get a supplement with multiple forms - but I prefer to get my nutrients through food so I’m buying 4 bags of salad greens every day - with a yummy home made dressing I’m experiencing happy meal times 🙏🏻
What could be the cause of my arrhythmia besides a magnesium deficiency? I eat lots of veggies and a salad every day and take magnesium supplements as well as a pinch of potassium and Redmond’s salt in my water. I also use magnesium chloride spray before bed on my muscles to ward off cramps. The cardiologist says the arrhythmia is benign but when I get it I don’t feel well.
Do I believe that Americans don't get enough magnesium in their diets? LOL I am absolutely POSITIVE of it. Most of them eat sugar and grains and caffeine all day. ... but not the ones who follow Dr. Berg!! ❤❤

That's grate! Did you go to a doctor before you started to eat the magnesium or did you just start on your own?
How much do you take now?
@alisonlogee
👏 That's fantastic 👏👏👏. I've been taking magnesium for the past several years to help with insomnia and it helps me to relax and fall asleep easier.
But I too have been EXTREMELY FATIGUED for many years and my doctor blows me off 😢😔😡. Would you PLEASE 🙏 let me know which brand you take and how much so that I might be blessed with the same experience as you? I would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!

I like that Dr Berg talks to us about self-improvement instead of relying solely on pills and surgery 👏🏾
I want to cry. Because I am happy that I found Dr Berg, that he teaches me and that I get the answers I am looking for. But also because I am sad. This video gives me the answers my doctors didn't give me for the past 4 years. At least now I know what to work on again, thank you Dr Berg! 🙏🏼

It’s so sad that all doctors out there don’t spend time to find the root cause of illness. Dr Berg is the hero. I wish I can find doctor like him in my area.
I wish everyone healing to their bodies and peace of mind after all the stress of these symptoms ...it made me wanna cry too because ....my older brother is scared to stop taking his high blood pressure medicine...and i hope he knows now that magnesium helps ...but im scared for him cuz the drs have him scared that like he cant make his enlarged heart normal again..because it has to be able to go back to normal again....but i hate the systmes too i hate how we have to stress alot to make a living
Magnesium Bisglycinate is one of the most effective bioavailable Magnesium Forms👍.➡It's attached to 2 glycine molecules. Attracts less water & has much higher absorption. Glycine also helps reduce pH in small intestine, supporting absorption & preventing Magnesium deficiency. Beneficial for improving Magnesium status, generally well-tolerated & unlikely to cause diarrhea. Involved in energy metabolism, muscle contraction, DNA synthesis, blood glucose regulation & reproduction🙂. 🚨⚠Avoid these versions of magnesium: Magnesium sulfate,Magnesium carbonate,Magnesium oxide and Magnesium hydroxide.
Great comment and very accurate. As someone with a severe mag deficiency due to 3 bowel resections, only Magnesium Bisglycinate helps, is absorbed, is easy on my stomache and intestine, without it the twitching, cramps etc....start, the others do nothing.
Years ago we were told citrate was a good form. I now take glycinate but is citrate still considered acceptable since it’s more readily available and considerably cheaper?
Magnesium Bisglycinate is the SAME as Magnesium Glycinate, another less common name is Magnesium Diglycinate, they are all the SAME 😊.

Thank you. I did not know that.🙏🏼
@@midnightflyer7510 you are welcome 🙏🏿.
Great video!
I was definitely mag deficient ( insomnia, IR, cramping, and all the hair had fallen off my legs) but fatigue was not an issue. I was always jacked up on cortisol due to chronic stress.
Months of salads made me worse with severe bloating. I wasn’t digesting due to lack of HCL. And I wasn’t absorbing the magnesium and other supplements. I cut out salads and did a daily blended cabbage juice instead of salads.
I started a daily morning routine of soaking my feet in epsom salt for 30 minutes with deep breathing and increased my HCl and supplements with meals.
Also, IF and low carb. The keto was depleting me.
No cell phone or blue light after dinner. I walk my dog after dinner and started playing guitar again and reading before bed.
The hair grew back on my legs, I no longer have cramps, and insomnia is gone.
It’s an ongoing process but you have to continually find what works for you.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Peace love and blessings.
Blended cabbage juice?
What's IR?
@@jimf937 Insulin resistance. If you’ve got a belly you have it. You get it from spiking your blood sugar constantly with high carb/sugar foods like bread and crackers/cookies. Even just eating too many meals snacks.
Apple cider vinegar can increase your stomach acid and help with absorption and actually help stop acid reflux. Your stomach sphincter only closes if there is enough acid. Docs will give you an antacid when most people need more acid not less. More evidence docs don’t know half the things they think they do. Yet are too puffed up to change. Why Dr. Berg is 1000% better than a traditional doc.
What kind of guitar 😉
Dr.Berg, he Is what medicine should do,should teach, should explain to people....instead of approving drugs.
The don't care about people, just money
The greatest problem with modern medicine is it is a 2 trillion dollar industry. Plenty of hacks are in for the money ONLY.
Pharma won’t allow it
MEDICAL doctors have their hands tied. They lose their licence in the US if they deviate one iota from the strict handbook which supports big pharma. And, they are not taught good nutrition. Only dentists, chiropractitioners etc can speak the truth!
Yes - Internal Medicine Doctors no nothing about what to eat and not to eat.
I had chronic fatigue years ago, I would sleep for 15 hours a day and STILL be constantly tired. I went to drs and naturopaths. Eventually I asked the naturopath if maybe I could be Magnesium deficient and she put me on a magnesium supplement and the difference was unbelievable! Within days I was back to normal. Totally agree that fatigue is the best indicator 💪
Do you mind sharing the supplement? I too can sleep 15+ hours a day. The type of tired I am isn't just fatigue it's beyond exhaustion.. help!! I'm useless
@@RealGoneDame Hey mate sorry to hear you’re going through that! Unfortunately I’m in Australia and its an Australian product called “Ultra Muscleze” …not sure if its available worldwide but its from a company called “bioceuticals” I’m pretty sure any mag supplement should be ok. I think mag glycerate is the best kind? You could also try taking baths in epsom salts. You’ve also got to get your gut in order, because I think thats at the root of the problem…thats been a life long challenge for me. good luck my friend 👍

@@RealGoneDame How much Magnesium you have to take and in what form could you please tell me . Thanks very much
Here's another one, fatty liver also causes fatigue. Everyone thinks fatty liver is just from alcohol, nope its also from eating too much sugar. So again diet and exercise. All the things causing Americans to be obese and develop diabetes are also causing them to have low energy.
Dr. Berg. The following comment's are not related to this video but I had to share some personal information with you and how your video's have helped me so much. January 2023 I had my first A1C test and was told at 6.4 I was pre-diabetic. A month later I was at my Dr's office and he did another test and I was even higher at 6.6.
I really didn't know what to do till my brother suggested I check out your videos.
The first one I saw was "What would happen if you gave up sugar for two weeks". That video changed my life. The fact that the medical industry doesn't share this info is criminal. When you stated that if to much sugar is the problem, then why don't you stop eating sugar, it just sounded right to me. And that's exactly what I did. I weighed 270#'s at 6'1" tall.
I had a follow up in three months and I was down to 250#'s and the A1C had dropped to 5.7. Still the low end of pre-diabetes but moving in the right direction.
Today I had a follow up and my A1C was 4.8!!! and my weight was 207! I now read food labels but not once have concerned myself with calories, and have never gone to bed hungry! Thank you so much!!! I look forward to many years of watching your videos!
Great testimony, thanks for sharing. Hiw long did it take to lose 70lbs?

I recently was watching this daytime program and the host had a nutritionist on her show telling everyone about vitamins and minerals and specifically she mentioned magnesium. She said that if someone was eating breakfast cereal in the morning and that it was "fortified", as many overly processed, cold cereals indicate on the outside of the box, that they'd be fine. I about lost it. I don't know how anyone can think that they can get the necessary vitamins and minerals they need from a "fortified", sugar laden, overly processed, cold breakfast cereal. Thanks for this important information!
A million thank you,Dr Berg!!!!

If you are taking PPI's your ability to absorb magnesium is greatly affected. I ended up in intensive care for 4 days due to low magnesium. You require magnesium to process potassium. With low potassium my heart was palpitating. Definitely use a supplement if you are over 50. Don't risk it. Low magnesium is an awful feeling and he is right, like your battery is not charging overnight.
Thank you for sharing that. Sorry you had to go through all that, all the best
I'm taking the liquid magnesium supplement that Dr. Berg suggested. But it's not helping my Atrial fibrillation.
Maybe try Boron 5mg per day with your Mg supplement ? It makes the Mg work.@@remyllebeau77
PPI the most prescribed drug here in UK and probably worldwide. Two weeks max unless other issues. The damage they do is horrendous. My daughter suffered
3 tbsp of Hemp hearts gives 45% daily magnesium value!
Omg im so happy he mentioned the glycinate form specifically! It makes me appreciate my doctor so much more!! I went in to see her during my first trimester, struggling with pregnancy depression and trying to figure out how to manage it without meds. As with many docs, she first told me about my options as far as prescriptions go since SSRIs are considered safe during pregnancy. Well, I didn't want them, and I told her I would only consider them as a last resort and was hoping to find a more natural solution. She was super happy about this and then recommended magnesium glycinate, specified it had to be glycinate, and I started taking them that day! Let me tell you something here, I've dealt with depression throughout a lot of my life and it's gotta be pretty bad for me to talk to a doctor about it tbh. Taking the extra magnesium has taken the edge off and allowed me to really enjoy my pregnancy, get along better with my bf, and has eased some of the other preggo symptoms like leg cramps and not being able to sleep well at night!!! I consider it my miracle supplement lmao
Thank You for this video Dr Berg!
I wish Dr. Berg was my personal doc.
Truly a great doctor who takes time researching and finding root causes
Coconut water, the fresh one (not in can) is also very rich of magnesium. It tastes so good, especially the cold one.
But it has 13% sugar!
@@CaroleMatheson it's not refined sugar. I drink it every single day. And l'm healthy, never in medication for more than 30 years.

We're so blessed to have your wealth of knowledge, daily and without payment. Thank for sharing another amazing video Dr. Berg ❤
Wow, what a time for this video to come out. I quite literally bought Magnesium supplements last night because I came to the conclusion that I was super low. (Was still getting fatigue and now nerve pain, muscle twitches) Also turns out if you take large doses of vitamin D, which I do since I have autoimmune issues, it depletes Mg, so worth looking into!
In this video dr berg mentions that magnesium is needed for vit-D assimilation.
Sharing Dr Berg notes:
Magnesium is a cofactor involved in 350 enzymes. A cofactor is something that is required by an enzyme to work.
Symptoms of magnesium deficiency:
• Cramping
• Twitching
• Arrhythmia
• Osteoporosis
• Osteomalacia
• Insulin resistance
• Insomnia
• High cortisol
• Depression
However, the number one symptom of magnesium deficiency is fatigue.
The top cause of low magnesium is not consuming enough magnesium in the diet. Foods rich in magnesium are vegetables and leafy greens.
Consuming large salads is a great way to get the magnesium you need. But you can also take a magnesium supplement. If you do take a supplement, consider *magnesium glycinate*
Other causes of magnesium deficiency:
1. Refined foods
2. Fructose
3. Alcohol
4. Certain medications
Magnesium supplements not recommended other than as laxatives:
Magnesium oxide
Magnesium hydroxide
Magnesium carbonate

I was never explained from doctors about magnesium deficiencies or potassium when I was diagnosed with a-fib 14 years ago. I've been doing your healthy keto for 1-1/2 years now. I also use a supplement d-ribos which has and is helping me with those deficiencies along with just OMAD. Thank you Dr. Berg for all your great knowledge and advice!!!! You have been the most help for me while on this amazing journey!!!!
Dr.Berg rocks as usual, as expected. Blessed to have this channel.
Nobody in the world get sufficient zinc and megnisuium,😢it's difficult now a days to even get proper protein.Whole world of food is filled with high carb and Omega 6 fats which are abundant
It's true.
I was not sleeping well. I tried everything including what my doctor said about helping to lower my cortisol levels and resetting my circadian rhythm but I would be up until 3am and I would not want to get up until 10 or 11am. I felt awful... I tried Zolpidem, I tried melatonin, hell I even tried THC gummies for sleep. Nothing seemed to really help.
I ended up getting magnesium chloride bath salts that I soak in the bathtub before bed and Magnesium glycinate gummies.
What a game changer. I have never felt better... I was definitely magnesium deficient.
Now my stress levels are normal and I'm sleeping so well. I fall asleep within a few minutes now and sleep all night.
Listen to him... magnesium is so important!
Hi Doc, how about Magnesium Taurate? Is it good? My doctor prescribed this to me.
Magnesium taurate can potentially be good for:
• Supporting the blood sugars
• Supporting blood pressure (in animal studies)

Hi Dr Berg. Love your videos like always. Thank you for sharing. I order your supplements. How long should or can a person take magnesium ? Not for a deficiency but for health. Thank you.😊
Dr. Berg, what are your thoughts on magnesium chloride? And what are your thoughts on avocados specifically as a source for magnesium?
Wow. I've complained about these symptoms to my doctor, and I was never offered magnesium or potassium. You are a wonderful Doctor. Thank you 💞💞..
Me too! They offered me diet pills that they said would give me energy instead, and they just made me nervous and filled with more anxiety. Recently visited a wholistic dietitian and they gave me magnesium and other vitamins to help balance out my deficiencies.
Dr. Taras, my dentist, used a
spectrophotometer combined with a computer to test for heavy metal toxicity and mineral deficiencies. It’s easy, non-invasive, and the world’s only intra-cellular test.
Once I found out the minerals I was deficient in, took those religiously for one year, went back to retest, and got my levels back to normal.
Magnesium was my worst deficiency and now I feel fantastic! ❤
Awesome thank you for sharing 😊
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
I've been struggling with magnesium deficiency for 10 months with no signs of improvement. Could I ask what form of magnesium you took? How much? How many times per day? I'm desperate, and no doctor (conventional medicine) has been able to guide/help me on this.
QUESTION: Is calcification in the knee another result of Magnesium deficiency? Kindly let me know. Thanks so much!
Here's some videos that may help:
www.youtube.com/@Drberg/search?query=joint%20calcification
I'm so glad you mentioned the mitochondrial need for magnesium to produce ATP. However, I've found many patients I work with consume copious amounts of magnesium, and they still have magnesium deficiency. RBC Magnesium is the best measure for magnesium status and should be as close to 6.5 mg/dL. But taking more magnesium and expecting it to replete your deficiency is like filling a cup of water with a hole in it, and expecting that cup to keep the water in it. That means, if you don't address the mitochondrial "stressors" you will always be playing catch up with the magnesium dosing.
What is the mitochondrial stressors? What stresses them?
Hey Dr Berg it’s so great to see you still on TH-cam. Keep well. x
Dr Berg is the best nutritionist BY FAR I have ever encountered.
Thank you for your comment. Appreciate it!
Pumpkin seeds are the best way to get a good amount of Magnesium. The majority won't eat such amount of salads every single day. I crush the seeds and add them to my salad, cereal, or smoothies.
Many older Koreans make a morning concoction that includes pumpkin seeds. I throw them in salads myself.
So you buy yours or do you take them out of pumpkins and dry your own?
I'll be honest, I'm not eating the gigantic salad bowl most days either, lol 😂. I take some magnesium in the citrate, taurate, and/or glycinate forms at night maybe 1 hour before bed. Magnesium malate can be good in the mornings. Thanks for spreading the Mg gospel, Dr. Berg!
That is very cool, thanks for sharing.
Did you catch what he said which magnesium is the best one?
@@flynneart1111glycenate
@@flynneart1111 He likes the magnesium glyinate form the best. It's bound to the amino acid glycine, so it can aid in relaxation, especially at night. Doctor's Best is a good brand for that form, in my experience.
I have excellent results taking Mg Maleate in the morning and Mg glycinate in the evening.
I bought a capsule form of magnesium complex. It’s a 5 in 1 Glycinate, Citrate, Oxide, Malate and Taurate. Is this a good choice? Any feedback and opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Thank you for taking the time to create this video. It is true you should not take magnesium with other minerals at the same time i.e zinc
How much magnesium should we be taking
I brought a head of lettuce to a dinner party. People thought I was making a salad to contribute. No. It was my salad. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to eat that much salad while also holding a conversation with friends and strangers? I also had to use what was going to be a punch bowl as my salad bowl. I'm super fun at dinner parties.
😂😂😂
😂
Head iceberg lettuce has almost zero nutrients. Go with organic spring mix and or arugula. Will be much better
Cool story, Hansel
I understand, happens to me too
I rely on Rune Organics' magnesium for muscle and nerve support. It's been a dependable solution for my health.
Well presented with always great information!! Thanks Dr. Berg!! 🩷
I like your videos a lot. They usually cover the subjects completely in a minimal time. You did leave out a very important point on the direct correlation of low magnesium and high blood pressure( no direct correlation to cholesterol levels)
I love the problem-solving approach of your channel.
If you get cramps randomly in the day probably magnesium, cramping during exercise probably potassium but a deficiency in one typically increases deficiency in the other
Would you recommend Magnesium Citrate?
When I ate family meals. We always had a balanced meal and I still had leg cramps as a child. After being on my own the leg cramps disappeared for years. Then as an elder the cramps reappeared and when getting blood work done it was found that I was always low blood potassium. My doctor would have me taking potassium supplements. I was still having problems with leg and hand cramps while working.
Saw a shot video about cramps and taking magnesium. It worked for me and my blood potassium would be normal when the doctor would do future blood work. February 14th this year I ended up in the emergency room after getting a bacterial infection that keep me in the bathroom for three days before going to the hospital. Could not eat and horrible things were leaving my body on both ends. The emergency room does blood work and I'm dangerously low on potassium. I ended up on a potassium IV drip for days before I suggested that I needed magnesium. The doctor gave me the magnesium and the potassium in the blood was normal. I was released from Paradise Valley Hospital with a pill bottle with an antibiotic for the bacterial infection that caused my illness.
After a few days on my own I couldn't get warm no matter how warmly I was dressed. Not feeling well again I went to an urgent care and was sent to a different hospital were blood clots were found in my lung and legs that were not discovered by the other hospital even though I had been checoked for those types of problems.
This hospital checked my blood and I was having the low potassium and I ended up on another potassium IV drip. Had to again ask for magnesium again. What is with these doctors who prescribe magnesium oxide which is the hardest form of magnesium to be absorbed by the body? Again I had to ask for magnesium to stabilize the blood potassium in order to get out of the hospital. Hated all of the needles they bombard you with every hour is unreal. I've never been in a hospital for an illness since I graduated secondary career training when I eat something that put me in the hospital when the doctors thought I had appendicitis but needed my parents permission to operate. By the time they got to the hospital I was feeling better and I was released to my parents. Don't remember if any medication was required...
dr. eric i was wondering when it comes to building muscle which magnesium would be more helpful?

And only dressing I use is a squeezed lemon. Those dressings at the grocery store are terrible
If you are magnesium deficient, and can't figure out why, you might look into oxalate dumping. Happened to me, and most doctors have no idea what it is, and they couldn't figure out why I was cramping, twitching, and having heart arrhythmias.
Does Magnesium spray work?

Hello Dr. Berg,
I am on the low side of blood pressure. How can I take magnesium without lowering my blood pressure further down?
Can you give a complete list of all vitamins/supplements we should be taking on a daily basis? Thank you!
Research what natural foods have what nutrients. I did and don't buy or take processed supplements. Eat naturally raised or caught meats and organic vegetables, fruits. Dry organ meats, take small bits throughout the week, make homemade 30 hour bone broth, freeze in ice cube trays, drink in hot water, 1 cube per day. I'd rather buy quality food rather than buy supplements.
What I've learned through the years from my functional medicine Dr.
1. A daily whole food vitamins/supplements
2. Vitamin D3/K 5000 IU's per day
3. Atleast 400 mg magnesium glycinate spilt 200 mg morning 200 mg evening
4. Omega-3 good quality fish oil like Nordic Naturals
5. Whole food vitamin B complex
6. A probiotic in powder form you mix w/water so it reaches the colon, yes the live active cultures should be refrigerated, an excellent brand Klaires Labs
7. Whole food vitamin C starting in the Fall
8. I also use Celtic sea salt daily on food or a pinch in my water for the minerals 😊
Thankyou Dr. Berg for the informations.. what are the recovery options for accidentally taken methotrexate tablets?
Dependant upon dose contact your local emergency medical providers and the doctor that provided that medicine in the first instance. All such problems are dealt with by the liver so supporting your liver's function by avoiding all sugars, fruit and alcohol and watching these DB videos would be wise: www.youtube.com/@DrEricBergDC/search?query=support%20liver%20 Best medicines are placed only where a responsible adult has access, a lesson learned we hope.
thankyou for the answer
Good video. Question, how do you consume this much salad? I know nutrients from vegetables are not as bioavialble. In fact, eating too much salad once put me in the hospital because the lettuce blocked my small intestine.
As a smoothie, puree or soup
Lettuce can do that? If anything, it makes my bowel movements faster!
@@ST-yc7ujlettuce doesn’t do anything for me. If I need to loosen up, I’ll eat a pound of bacon.
How long does it take to get back to normal magnesium levels?
There is not enough thank you for your enormous effort and patience to the people out there. ❤❤❤.
Salads don’t agree with my digestive system. I used to eat them consistently but always found myself suffering from bloated stomach. Warm foods seem to treat me better. What do you recommend? Thxs
Great video Dr. Berg.
In addition, certain medications will lower your magnesium level. Just like certain blood pressure medications will lower your potassium levels….long term use of proton pump inhibitors will severely reduce your magnesium levels.
What’s sad is if you have blood pressure issues like POTS that’s all they suggest if those compression stockings don’t work. They should say, “Let’s check all of these other areas first.”
What would be the recommended dose of Magnesium?
RDA: The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adults 19-51+ years is 400-420 mg daily for men and 310-320 mg for women. Pregnancy requires about 350-360 mg daily and lactation, 310-320 mg.
Thank you for the video, Dr.Berg. What people on the Carnivore diet do about magnesium? Can you get enough of it from meat? Is there a way for your body (including gut bacteria) to create it or convert something else to get it? Same question goes about Potassium.
I am on a meat based diet due to too many food allergies (corn allergy) + EDS (you cannot handle fiber when you have EDS as it only constipates you) so I supplement to get both magnesium + potassium. The potassium one I found and I am trying is by Livingood daily. Very very hard to find stuff free of corn! 😡 corn in stiff now gives me breathing issues.
Stepping up the level of video editing 💪 Well done. Help you stand out even more and serve more 🙏
A good video would be "how to get enough magnesium from food while avoiding excessive oxalates."
I know anyone who's ever had a kidney stone would be interested. Just a talk on these lectins and oxalates (anti nutrients) and a pro/con of eating them would be interesting.
I'd also like to know more about why mushrooms need to be cooked to destroy some toxin. This is common knowledge, but when Paul Stamets was on the JRE podcast and this subject came up, he acted like he'd be tortured if he talked about it..which was strange. Many he was just being purposefully cryptic and a bit facetious. Idk.
✌❤🔥👁
Not a chance in hell im shoveling that much crap down my throat. Been there done that shit before and never again.
The bio availability of minerals from certain plants is so low you couldn't possibly eat that much.
I had an oxalate kidney stone from eating too much greens, so -yes! Excellent suggestion!
Yes, oxalates and lectins, yikes! Plants are indeed trying to kill you, it's their defense mechanism that nature provides. In so doing, it's nature's way of telling us humans to find other food, not plant food. I went carnivore and all ailments disappeared within 3 months. 👍
@@woodenfencessame, I also had kidney stones due to oxalates but I had no idea that was the reason. When I started my keto diet I ate tons of vegetables especially spinach and pretty quickly started getting pain in my joints and flair ups from old injuries like my knee. When I went full carnivore and cut all the greens all symptoms disappeared. I now have occasional flair ups when I’m dumping oxalates and my electrolytes go bananas.
To answer your question on Stamets, this is what someone said.
"Mushrooms, even common button mushrooms, contain traces of carcinogenic compounds in raw form. The same toxin, hydrazine, is also found in portobello mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms contain a naturally occurring formaldehyde. Both chemicals are heat-sensitive and abolished upon exposure to heat."
Hello Dr Berg! I wonder if You take Magnesiumaskorbat do You benefit from that Magnesium?
And how about Magnesium Cloride?
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for another great video.
You're very welcome! Glad you liked it.
What should be in a salad? Any good recipes for optimal vitamin intake?
i've been feeling fatigue very recently along with a lot of problems, actually started with me taking the magnesium from the pharmacy over the one I used to get from you, and as far as I can tell from both sides of magnesium from the last 26 blood test in the past six months along with a few of my other specialized tests, it doesn't do anything for me, because one in particular medication I am on like blocks it or something and I can't avoid it, I have to take it for life every day or risk potentially dying - any solutions like a specific type of magnesium I can take? The oxide was interacting I think with my medication's and my sugars been through the roof along with other physical pains that I didn't have when I was using your magnesium, but neither yours or the pharmacy seems to have effects anyway due to the medication
Dr Berg recommends not to take Magnesium oxide. Magnesium Bisglycinate is one of the most effective bioavailable Magnesium Forms. Taking magnesium along with medications might decrease the effectiveness of medicines and may greatly reduce the effectiveness of a magnesium supplement. To avoid this interaction, take these antibiotics at least 2 hours before, or 4 to 6 hours after the magnesium supplements. Ask your pharmacist about the interactions between your medicine and Magnesium.
What medication are you on for life that interferes with magnesium absorption?
@@1973sophia it is an anti-rejection immuno suppressant drug for a recent kidney transplant, the good Doc also said to take your doctors' advice and in this case I would have to take the kidney teams' advice because organ transplants are not exactly common among most people I was doing great before the transplant except for the whole dialysis deal
@@BlacklistedBible yeah I talked with my sister, I mean a pharmacist, about it and what she had in her literature and decided to stop it for a couple days to see how my numbers went and how I felt, felt much better and decided kind of just not taking the magnesium from the pharmacy and the one used to take I get from Dr. Berg and now to check what the results are today soon, but I am already immuno suppressed and I always ask all my questions before trying something out to all my nephrologists
Magnesium glycinate is the most absorbable form I've ever used and truly works excellent for me! I use Biotics Research sold through my practitioner's office and I love it 😊
I just purchased a magnesium pill from Selina Naturally, which sells Celtic sea salt. How do we know if it's a Glycinate?
I am curious to know whether this is a quality / worthy product.
I will send it back if it's not.
Do you have any thoughts on this particular product?
Thank you!
Generally, magnesium glycinate is recognized as the best form of magnesium to help with sleep because it's easy for the body to absorb.
So which form of magnesium supplement is best..

Dr Berg, Would you please do a video on Cholesterol in the eye and why this happens? Thank you so much for everything that you do to help others be informed with the truth to help improve their life!!!
Great Video and it seems everything you said about having a deficiency can cause arrhythmia, anxiety, twitching, etc. and I was thinking to myself - that sounds like me. Then I googled the benefits of Magnesium Glycinate for Men and One drop down says...
What Happens if you take Magnesium Glycinate every day?
Taking magnesium supplements such as magnesium glycinate can cause side effects, including nausea and abdominal pain. In larger quantities, it can also cause diarrhea and more severe side effects, such as an irregular heartbeat, extreme hypotension, and cardiac arrest.
Dr Berg can you confirm this? and what is your MG daily recommendation for a 250lb male
You’re inspiring me over here in the UK! And thanks to this video I’ve realised I’m taking the wrong magnesium supplements and eating no where near enough salad greens!! I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 8 years ago and now peri menopause so this advice could actually help me to get more energy, less pain to be able to start to enjoy life again. Namaste 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Theres so many magnesium supplements out there. Which ones were you taking? im taking Blackmores BIO magnesium. Now, i don't know if it's any good?
@@gizmo5980 I have my eye on malate but going to see if I can get a supplement with multiple forms - but I prefer to get my nutrients through food so I’m buying 4 bags of salad greens every day - with a yummy home made dressing I’m experiencing happy meal times 🙏🏻
What vegetables would ypu recommend for magnesium during keto diet?
Leafy greens
I tried magnesium glycinate. Made me feel off and started getting headaches. Any recommendation for other type of magnesium?
I take citrate and have never had any problems
Is magnesium asporotate helpful? I've been taking the Solaray brand.
What could be the cause of my arrhythmia besides a magnesium deficiency? I eat lots of veggies and a salad every day and take magnesium supplements as well as a pinch of potassium and Redmond’s salt in my water. I also use magnesium chloride spray before bed on my muscles to ward off cramps. The cardiologist says the arrhythmia is benign but when I get it I don’t feel well.
I'm confused as to which one to take
Do I believe that Americans don't get enough magnesium in their diets? LOL I am absolutely POSITIVE of it. Most of them eat sugar and grains and caffeine all day. ... but not the ones who follow Dr. Berg!! ❤❤
One of your best Videos yet.
Great Presentation - Great Content - Great Editing
Thanks for watching!
Cheers for the advice Dr this explains my symptoms all the best from the UK.
