First Sign of a Magnesium Deficiency NEVER to Ignore

Don't ignore this early sign of magnesium deficiency—plus 21 other important early signs!

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.

    I remember shopping for bacon and a pound of leafy greens at a grocery store one day. I paid for my food and said, “Thank you, Sir!” Only to be yelled at by another employee screaming, “That’s not a guy. It’s a woman with a beard who is suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome!” I hope this video reaches them. Much appreciated, Dr. Berg! Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! 🙂

    • @pollypurree1834 on March 17, 2024 at 4:49 pm

      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.

    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.

  14. @Xaugebk247 on March 17, 2024 at 1:41 pm

    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.
