I would strongly suggest that if you are going to take magnesium supplements to do so at night before you go to bed. I used to take all of my supplements in the morning and then I would be so tired during the day and I didn’t know why. Taking magnesium at night before bed was a game changer for me.

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

Same here. I actually take them at dinner to be sure to get fat and water to absorb them. I’m also very very very forgetful in the morning. So it’s a win win.

I've dealt with severe pain for decades. I was anorexic & after I began eating daily it took me over a year to realize I was eating the wrong foods. I'm still allergic to milk, beef and soy. Magnesium has helped my pain levels to go down a lot along with the diet changes. And helps my sleep a lot. I did have neurosurgery in March & it helped get rid of about 40% of my overall pain. But I had been malnourished big time. Eating correctly & taking supplements has changed my life drastically.

The form of magnesium is very important. The Magnesium Glycinate form is more readily absorbed and the side effects are minimal if they exist at all. It's more expensive, but really worth it!

I began taking magnesium malate or glycinate a few years ago due to eating a ketogenic diet due to diabetes. As a wonderful side effect my migraines became far less, muscle pain decreases quite a lot, and my BP doesn't have as many swings. We found it helps my husband with pain, and stress issues he had. It also helps him sleep better. There are two vitamins that I notice reduce my muscle pain, magnesium and vitamin D. They make a big difference. Other vitamins do help, but magnesium I never want to be without again.

[@gettingstuffdoneright5332]

@radicallyforjesus Vitamin D very helpful to me as well in combination with magnesium. Slightly off topic but some new formulations of curcumin I'm finding very helpful relieving pain--for me it took a few months before I noticed it. I hope the good doctor can get around to covering the pros/cons of curcumin. I'm finding you gotta do "all the above" to make any noticeable/helpful difference, take care all

[@bobrobertsNotUrBob]

Laura, be sure to drink lots of clean water before and after using keta, and drink lots of water the day after, don't hit the coffee the next day. I do recommend using only small amounts, microdosing and never every day, it is difficult. If you smoke, stopping will improve your pain threshold dramaically. taking cold showers/cold swims will also do a world of good for your pain, stay away from normal pain meds as they lower your pain threshold. If you arent doing yoga, give it a go for at least a month and see how it works for you. adding potassium suppliments does a world of good for me with my energy and pain relief mixed with magnesium, it is a daily basic for me. Just be sure to drink a glass of orange juice or water with lemon juice in it as to stop kidney stones. listen to your body as best as you can , and take it easy on yourself. Blessings

[@carrie6582]

Which magnesium is she speaking about

[@richardpells5974]

That was really interesting. Thanks. Just looking on Cronometer it seems very easy to get up to the daily amount and at under a 1000 calories too. I took 15g of raw cacao because it's non dutched and therefore froths very effectively in a milk frother, especially using organic, unsweetened soya milk (250ml). Two medium slices of whole wheat bread and 200g of baked beans. Milled flax seeds 10g...the sprouted type are especially good. Then sweet potato and carrots 150g each and 150g each of broccoli and cabbage. That's 965 Kcal and approx 420mg of magnesium. Incidentally that also gives well over 100% of Phosphorous, iron, manganese and copper and nearly 100% of calcium, potassium, zinc and selenium, not to mention most of the daily vitamin requirements and a great omega 3 to omega 6 ratio. In the UK that's very inexpensive food especially at those small quantities

Unfortunately most commercially grown vegetables are lacking natural minerals due to the methods used to grow them. Soils are depleted of natural minerals and so farmers are using fertilisers to grow. As well hydroponics, where they use fertilisers and so the vegetables are lacking in many minerals usually found in organically production. Then there's the pesticides and other chemicals used to get picture perfect uniform products on the shelves. This is also the case with meats. Unless you're eating organic foods and non GMO it's a loosing battle....

I stumbled upon magnesium 2 yrs ago from another source. But today while I’m watching this, it’s great explanation and very true. I will not go without. Your body uses it 300 Times a second on the cellular level. It does just about everything. Much more than pain. Blood pressure, strong bones and teeth , it also makes the arteries in your heart and veins more elastic like they were when we were kids and young adults. So basically your chances of having heart disease lessons and it keeps your circulatory system in much better working condition by taking magnesium. Taking vitamin D3 not only helps with depression, pain and strong bones, it also is needed to be taken with all your other vitamins and supplements to be evenly distributed around your body. Recently came across this info, incase anyone else was not aware of this info on D3 and magnesium. So I will not take my vitamins and supplements without vitamin D3 at same time now

Dr. Andrea can we take Magnesium before meal on an empty stomach? I am 84 years old and I take a GNC Magnesium Oxide 500mg daily with a meal. I do not take breakfast because I am doing fasting [IF 16:8] daily for more than a year now.

[@biddibee3526]

Magnesium oxide is one of the least effective forms you can take. You should try other forms to see if you get more benefit which I am sure you will. You can research forms of magnesium online. Best of luck.

[@steveo2764]

Maam, I watched your video on magnesium and you left out something very important you say men require 400 mg per day but different types of magnesium are absorbed different rates if I take 400 mg of oxide I'm only getting 20 mg per day if I take 400 mg of glycinate I'm getting 160 mg a day so you need to quantify what you mean by 400 mg per day is that 400 mg of absorption because that would be the only way it would make sense given the varying degrees of absorption by type 4 to 40%. Thank you

[@drderrickchua]

No mention of Mg(OH)2? Inexpensive antacid. How well is that absorbed? Does it work for migraine? Is the laxative effect habituating?

I have read that measuring mg in the blood is ineffective. Your body maintains a certain amount in the blood, but it's mostly in the organs and muscles. Unless you're VERY deficient there may not be any change in the blood.

[@scottenser464]

Have a red blood cell mag test . That gives you the numbers you are looking for .

[@darleneallen3135]

Dense I had a 48 hour urine test to see if I was deficient in magnesium. At the 24 hour I had to have a bag of magnesium drip. They calculate how much magnesium your body keeps. I was 80% deficient

I had pain in my right shoulder for quite awhile 3 different chiropractors and one MD. didn't help a bit. One day I cleaned out my desk and found an old yellow newspaper clipping. Don't remember if Dear Abby or Ann Landers, but it read something like this: Dear Dr. I spent a fortune going from Dr. to Dr. trying to get rid of this shoulder pain. One day an old timer was working on our tractor and told me "JUST EAT 2 TABLESPOONS OF HONEY FIRST THING EVERY MORNING" I dropped that clipping and headed to the grocery store. Bought a teddy bear of honey and had honey soon as I got home. next morning too, and about 2 days and my pain was GONE! I still try to have honey everyday. Raised bees for 15 years and learned BEE STING WILL CURE ARTHRITUS!

[@julesvern-u4e]

im curious... where would humans have gotten so much magnesium say 10,000 years go and before? Seems weird to me that Id need 400mg when it'd be impossible to get enough thru meat and other foods that would have been available back then. Evolution dont work that way.. 400mg makes no sense to me.

Dr. Andrea is there a similar medicine compared to magnesium ? I'm asking that because of the reaction of the medicine in the intestine as I usually have problems with diarrhea, I'm certain I cannot take it. Thk you.

[@Solittletimetoomany]

I’ve taken magnesium citrate and magnesium ? 250 -500 mg tablets. The 500s caused diarrhea so I have stuck with the 250s. Did not help with pain.

Thank you for giving this valuable information I am also interested to know how magnesium can affect hypertension.

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

You are most welcome

[@detectivewiggles]

Mag is the most important factor in hypertension. Mag deficiency makes excess minerals (mainly calcium) accumulate in soft tissue, which restricts blood flow between different areas and directly causes hypertension. Cholesterol is 100% meaningless. Hypertension and heart disease are all about mag deficiency.
