The BIG Magnesium Mistake
If you think that magnesium’s not working, you could be taking it wrong. Find out about the common mistakes people make with magnesium supplements. There are so many benefits of magnesium—it's the most important mineral, so make sure you’re taking it correctly.

4:21 What if magnesium’s not working?
Magnesium is involved in hundreds of biochemical reactions that help prevent common problems such as atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, insomnia, heart disease, leg cramps, and fatigue. Many people are magnesium deficient, but it’s almost impossible to test! Only 1% of your magnesium is in the blood—the rest is inside the cells.
Some common causes of magnesium deficiency include:
•Genetic weakness
•Low stomach acid
•Prediabetes or diabetes
Magnesium depends on vitamin D, which many people have a genetic problem with. Vitamin D deficiency inhibits the proper function of magnesium in the body. You need a minimum of 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily.
Magnesium glycinate has an 80% absorption rate and also helps with sleep. Magnesium controls calcium, so you likely have excess calcium if you're magnesium deficient. Too much calcium causes cramping in the calves, high blood pressure, and arrhythmias.
Smoking, alcohol, soda, refined sugars, starches, and certain medications can all contribute to a magnesium deficiency.
Leafy greens, pumpkin seeds, chocolate, and nuts are the best food sources of magnesium.
You won't see results if you don’t give magnesium enough time to work. It takes at least 1 to 3 months to see results from magnesium.
Digestive issues like constipation or diarrhea can greatly affect your ability to absorb magnesium. Chronic stress and exercise can increase your magnesium requirements.
You can increase magnesium absorption by spreading your doses throughout the day rather than taking it all at once. Try drinking apple cider vinegar mixed with water to acidify the stomach and increase magnesium absorption.

Thanks for watching! Try to avoid these mistakes when taking magnesium supplements. I’ll see you in the next video.
Many blessings to Dr Berg, his staff, family and farm animals this Christmas 🎄
Love how more confident in telling how it is and being so direct👊🏻
Agreed!
I was having high blood pressure, leg cramps, tired and sluggish. I told a health rep at work about it and he told me to try Mag-G. I ran out and bought a bottle of 665mg and OMG! It was literally overnight a game changer!! I had no idea.. but I’ve been taking it for years and I can’t live without it
Mag glycinate?
That sounds too fast to not be placebo effect. But I believe Dr. berg that says a lot, I don’t believe most doctors preaching western medicine. Full stop
Which type please ?
Doesn’t your body produce it
@@Sugarshane88no it doesn’t.

Vitamin K2K7, Vitamin D, and Magnesium Glycinate for best results
I was having a severe issue with sciatica for several months. It finally subsided,I was still having leg cramps. It felt as if my bones in my legs were aching. Long story short,I did my own research. I refused to take prednisone and other medications. I’ve been taking it for about a month. Needless to say,after two weeks, I started feeling so much better. It works…
You just made me realize that I havent had any issues with sciatica in a couple years! It used to be so bad, I could barely walk. Idk why I didn’t notice when it stopped. Maybe because I was dealing with so many other issues….. all of which have resolved since taking the right supplements.

😺👍
Wow, Thank You for the summary👍
More like 3,000 but you’re correct on the rest.
@@fidelcatsro6948 thank you to!
Thank you!
@@TA-uw5bomore like 3000 what? You have some sort of context behind that statement? 3000 days? 3000 sips of apple cider vinegar? 3000 chocolate bars?
I am blessed with this message this morning following my daily devotion. Gratitude is a must.
Gratitude is the BEST medicine ❤🙏🏼
I’ve been taking magnesium for chronic migraines & noticed it has helped significantly.
How much and what type please?
It’s honestly disgusting how many doctors don’t even know anything of this.. I had terrible period cramps for 10 + years. High magnesium + calcium helped me , it is better than it was
Medicine taught today is for diagnosing and prescribing, but not for healing. It’s to keep you sick and dependent on meds and 💉
It’s possible you have endometriosis.
@ my ginecologist denied it. Now my pain is less
“conventional” Drs are taught to prescribe medications. It’s very sad and completely destructive for humanity and our true health. We can stop this by taking care of ourselves with whole foods, exercise and a balanced lifestyle. Tons of healthy info available on YouTube. Thank you Dr Berg! Been following Dr Berg for over 5 years.
@chuntathecat4222 only a laparoscopy can definitively determine that…but I’m happy your pain has reduced.
Thank you for helping so many of your audience and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.
Merry Christmas Everyone
Merry Christmas to you 🙏
Merry Xmas 🎄🙏🏼
Merry Christmas to you as well.
Merry Christmas 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️🎄🎄🎄
Happy solstice too!
Foot bath: 1/3 cup epsom salt, 1/3 cup baking soda, 16 oz peroxide, warm water, 20 minutes…5 days a week. Magnesium, alkalinity, and oxygen. Life changing.
So you only put those 4 things in your foot bath and it gives you all over body relief?
You can also bath it it.
Soak in bath , and relax, and try to stay in it until the bath is to cold.
Thank you Mario !!!
Could use just use magnesium flakes in warm water and soak that way?
why baking soda and peroxide?
I corrected my SVT’S by increasing magnesium where my cardiologist wanted me to get an ablation! I was having SVT’S every other month or so, my heart racing to 189-190 bpm! Now I’m actually SVT free! Truth!
I have SVT and researching alternatives! Did you use the mag. Glycinate only or a blend of magnesium – so many types! And his brand or others?
How much did you have to take?
Me too! Almost constant palpitations, extra beats, missed beats and racing heart at rest now settled.
Same here!
Top of the list is for cardiology docs to check mag levels… strange. But happy for you.
I am taking magnesium glycinate for the last 1 yrs. It’s great for me ‘my mom who is 84 yrs suffering from brain””’ her doctors medicine can’t calm her down roaming around the home at midnight ”’ I gave her magnesium glycinate at bedtimes from the last one months It’s magic she sleep every night like a baby her mental problem almost gone”’ Thanks 🙏
Imagine those great results coupled with a good ketogenic diet!
@@DangerZone-w6y 🙏
Amen peace for all
Add k2 mitochondrial dysfunction this will help heaps and all the B vitamins these support the Nuro load especially b5
@ramppit 🙏
I haven’t slept in weeks. Took just 1 Dr. Berg magnesium pill yesterday and slept for 10 hours. Woke up this morning feeling like I hadn’t slept in years. Thanks again Dr. Berg.
Ive had sleeping problems too bro! On and off for the past 3 months. How many mgs of magnesium did you take? And what caused the disturbance to your sleep?
@@kingdomsteppaministries
400-500 mg a day?? 😊
You’re totally full of crap
How can a person no sleep in a week 😮 you gud sir ? You need melatonin not magnesium…😅
“Woke up this morning feeling like I hadn’t slept in years”. that means you felt like crap, so it didn’t work for you.
What if you were to start a company , covered by health insurance, that tests people for ALL of the deficiency tests, then, assigns them a nutrition plan and retests them at different intervals to see how theyre doing.
Big Food and Big Pharma would go after you and try to discredit you.
Big pharma will close you down…
Utopia
Wishful thinking! It would be amazing though!
Functional Health is not covered by insurance, but they do 100 blood tests, you get a report with recommendations and a retest 6 months later… $499
Magnesium glycinate is the one vitamin supplement that I recommend to people who complain about inflammation and sleep issues. Whether they listen to my advice and apply it is on them.
You sharing your knowledge is absolutely invaluable! Your heartfelt kindness is beyond compare! When I first subscribed, I thought you were an M.D. gone rogue!! 😂 At first, I didn’t realize you were a D.C. Well, it’s no wonder that “curing” is at the forefront of your shared information, instead of, “treatment”. I’m a 59yo (very masculine) man & it literally brings joyful tears to my eyes while thinking of your heartfelt kindness, the sharing of your knowledge, your in depth tutorials, etc…
So, with that said, I started taking baby steps with one of your previous videos about the vitamin D3 & Magnesium Glycinate combination & the change in my 42 year construction worker body has been significant! My, coenzyme based, multivitamin has 400 IUs of vitamin D & 40mg of Magnesium, so, I added 1,000 IUs of vitamin D3 & 200mg of Magnesium Glycinate to my regiment, and, WOW!! It’s been well over 1 month, maybe 2 months now & the change, from my “baby step” has been like night & day!! I’ve been telling cohorts, coworkers, fellow contractors, etc…that I’m back to “Beast Mode” again! There’s not enough positive adjectives in all of the world’s dictionaries, combined, to describe what I’ve experienced!
You’re an absolute blessing Dr. Berg! Keep fighting the good fight my fine fellow human being & thank you so much for all that you do!! 👍👍
Please vote for Dr. Berg as a consultant for RFK to MAHA
Yep, he’d fit right in with that bunch
