You can have normal magnesium blood levels and still have a magnesium deficiency! This is because only 1% of magnesium is in your blood! The other 99% is inside your cells.
Common magnesium deficiency symptoms include:
•Muscle spasms
•Muscle twitches
•Anxiety
•Poor sleep
•Sugar cravings
•Charley horses
Almonds, spinach, and chocolate contain magnesium, but you would need to consume a lot to meet your requirements!
Gut inflammation can decrease magnesium absorption by 60 to 70%. High-carb diets, alcohol, caffeine, and certain medications can deplete magnesium.
Top-selling magnesium products often have poor absorption and can cause diarrhea. Take magnesium glycinate for the best absorption rate and to avoid the laxative effect.
Magnesium is the master controller of calcium in the body, which is the primary communication signal between cells. Calcium often over-accumulates in the cells, which can lead to cellular damage. Magnesium is vital in regulating excess calcium in the body. It also helps prevent kidney stones.
Calcium causes your muscles to contract, while magnesium causes them to relax. Tight muscles signify too much calcium and not enough magnesium. Magnesium also prevents heart attacks and problems with the heart’s rhythm.
Correcting a magnesium deficiency takes time, and you need to make sure you’re taking enough. You may need 1000 to 1500 mg of magnesium daily to correct a deficiency. People with migraines, chronic pain, mood disorders, and diabetes may need more magnesium.
Vitamin D won't work without magnesium. When you increase your magnesium intake, also increase your vitamin D. Vitamin B1 is also dependent on magnesium. Magnesium is vital in ATP production, so your magnesium intake directly affects your energy levels.

Magnesium daily!✌️👌
A multivitamin complex and mineral complex from Piping Rock works best, instead of only magnesium. You don’t know if you have any other deficiencies.
This should be taught in schools.
Too busy teaching Climate Change 😮
The lobby wont allow that to happen
Schools need to teach the fundamentals of life – health and nutrition, finance, compassion and empathy for fellow humans ….
This is school
@@armel369or maybe just maybe we as parents need to find a way to have one parent at home again and raise our own children…crazy right?
It’s such a shame that magnesium has been stripped from our water. We’ve unknowingly lost a natural, daily source of this essential mineral – and most of us had no idea it was even there to begin with.
Dr Berg, The GOAT for educating people on health !!! 👏🏻💕
Did you mean go to and it got changed to goat? Ah, google has a sense of humor. 😂😅

Magnesium is So Important.
I’m fighting a losing battle. I’m taking more vitamins than I do food it seems.
i wish you well!
You probably don’t need so much vitamins. Magnesium glycinate, vit D, K1 and K2 is usually enough for most. Unless you have a specific issue. And try an anti-inflammatory diet if you haven’t. Be well.
Love this. Been on magnesium glycinate for months now. My pain, anxiety and energy has been so much better 😊
I take no vitamins on weekends to my system to rest.
@@ElizabethBiddell what dosage do you take per day?
I reached out to a company to ask them if magnesium stearate is safe to take consistently, but they kept beating around the bush to avoid answering my question. I’m pretty sure of the answer, already, but like food addictions, people don’t want to hear about the dangers of fast food or BBQ. Just like many people with autism don’t wanna hear the mental or physical symptoms of having it, or like a drug addict doesn’t want to believe that prescriptions are also drugs! I just hope that truth prevails and we continue to be brave on our health journeys, no matter if people like it or not!
That’s facts. Subscribed
BBQ?
@@di4085 despite the human race having cooked food over open fires for thousands of years, the modern idea is that its “bad for you”.
i choose to stick to tradition, in that regard.
BBQ I’m guessing is only bad if you put sugary sauces on it. The sugar & protein mix is toxic.
@@paradiselost9946sugar with the meat is the problem, like in the sauce. Our original ancestors didn’t use sauce. Use herbs instead.

Thank you Dr Berg!

❤ Thank YOU 😊
Thank you sir
Thank you ❤
I read that vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) is a rodent toxicant in small dosages? I guess most of the supplement industry is overall bad for us.
Here is a study:

Thank you fidel!
I’m going for the 4 bars of chocolate option… 😊
if you are buying 100% and organic, take out a loan too lol
😂😂😂
Lmao 🤣. That’s what my husband just said.
😂😂😂😂
❤😊
I’ve taken multivitamins and such for years and years. After upping Vitamin D to 10-20000IU and magnesium to 400+ i started to see noticeable improvement in energy levels for the first time in years.
Same story here at 62. A noticeable improvement!
Make sure to have your vit d levels checked
Same!
Do yous take vitamin d3 every single day even in the summer
@@Sleepywhispers79 Yes. I don’t get much sunlight during daytime.
Ordered you’re D3, K2 B1 and MG! Thanks Dr B!
Dr Berg’s incredible health knowledge & high quality, pure supplements are life changing❤️🌞
Don’t forget to ground yourself in your yard or grounding pad. 20 to 40 minutes a day.
I take 600 mg of magnesium a day. Happy health to everyone.
Do you take it on an empty stomach?
Thank you
Can be taken with or without food as directed by dr berg. For sleep use 1 or 2 hours before bed. @@Nanmoses2023
Another great episode packed full of knowledge
Glad you enjoyed it!
Taking enough magnesium feels soooo good.
Imagine if your doctor talked to you with so much knowledge and confidence…
The problem is, they DON’T have the knowledge. They’re too busy being in the pockets of big pharma to be truly helpful to patients.
They do
You would have felt a lot safer and taken care of.
@@alrinaleroux9229seriously, what makes you think,I don’t
Seriously right on! Look at the research and production gone into this one video. Compare to the tens and hundred thousands of dollars to get your med degree so I can get my 15 minutes in only to be written a prescription that will not get to the root of the problem long term, but will most certainly provide pharmaceuticals industry another long term customer.
thanks for your sharing, your videos are like free health school! 🙌 Who else watches him every morning with coffee? ☕😊❤
Me ❤
My doctor had a real fit when I told her how much magnesium I was taking during my annual visit last month. I told her I had been careful, by upping it rather slowly until I quit twitching, cramping, and hurting…which is something she has never been able to do anything about. I didn’t bother to try and educate her about the different types of Magnesium and how we don’t absorb 100% of what is on the label. I think it would have gone right over her head, to be honest. Thanks again Dr. Berg, for the free advice.
I agree with starting SLOWLY to avoid diarrhea. Even with the same listed ingredients, different tables work differently for different people (and there’s magnesium OILS for topical use, powders for oral consumption). After a lot of trial and error, I’ve settled on chelated magnesium tablets. I’ve safely supplemented up to 1000 mg / day, and (after a couple of years) settled on my “maintenance dose” of around 600 mg / day.
If you could take only one supplement, make it Magnesium!
1. Improves Sleep quality
2. Reduces stress & anxiety
3. Better Muscule function
4. Supports heart health
5. Improves Digestion
6. Enhances Bone health
7. Better blood sugar control
8. Helps with Hormonal balance
But I remember Dr. Berg saying that potassium is the most important mineral.
@colinpierre3441 if I so much as eat a banana or coconut water (potassium) major leg cramps inspite of mag 400mg 2x a day
You can get alot of potassium from food. I think vitamin d3 is more important
Thank you for pointing this out! The majority of the population needs to know this! Keep up God’s work!
