The FIRST Sign of a Magnesium Deficiency Is... (Dr. Berg Explains)

[@alisonlogee4554]

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 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 💪

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.

[@jacques42]

00:00 🧪 Magnesium deficiency is common in the United States, affecting 68% of the population due to dietary insufficiency and other factors. 02:43 🛌 Fatigue is a significant symptom of magnesium deficiency, as magnesium is crucial for energy production and muscle function. 03:38 🫀 Magnesium is essential for maintaining a healthy heart by regulating calcium levels and supporting the sodium-potassium pump. 04:21 🥗 Leafy greens and vegetables, particularly in salads, are excellent sources of magnesium and potassium, helping prevent deficiency. 05:45 💊 If dietary magnesium intake is insufficient, consider magnesium glycinate supplements, avoiding types like magnesium oxide, hydroxide, and carbonate.

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!

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.

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!

[@CeliaCavalli]

I wish Dr. Berg was my personal doc. Truly a great doctor who takes time researching and finding root causes

[@fidelcatsro6948]

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! 🐱👍🏿

[@_Keto_Diet]

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.

[@_Y.Not_]

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?

[@AgeReversingDoc]

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.

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.

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...

Two years ago at age 68 I started having them so strong I felt like fainting, had to put my head down for a few seconds. So listening to Dr. Berg I upped magnesium and it helped reduce frequency and strength. This year after hearing Dr. Berg and others recommend Glycinate I switched from Citrate (about 3 months ago) and have not had a palpitation since! I've always suspected a minor heart defect at birth because when I tried athletics (swimming, running) I had no stamina and gasped for breath with extreme fatigue.

Plants absorb minerals from the soil. Many soils are deficient in minerals. I have found that I feel best when I supplement with: sodium, potassium and magnesium. Great Vid Thanks!

[@rikstar.]

So sea salt then?

[@cal82252]

I have used ELMT electrolyte (pricey). But now I just mix my own using 1000mg sodium, 200mg potassium and 60mg magnesium with some stevia. Sea salt is OK, but the ratio differs a lot.@@rikstar.

Stepping up the level of video editing 💪 Well done. Help you stand out even more and serve more 🙏

[@bubblebath2892]

Not practical to eat 7 cups of salad ....give a better solution - a supplement brand and how to take it

[@IsaacBlencowe]

I'd also highly recommend topical magnesium spray. It by passes the liver and digestion. I find it restores magnesium far better than any other form ✌

[@KS-uo4br]

Thx u for the insight, what brand wld u recommend.

[@nigelbowler1601]

Cheers for the advice Dr this explains my symptoms all the best from the UK.

[@Robert-bm5fz]

watched your show on magnesium glycinate and have been getting the best sleep, lowered stress and anxiety and just overall a feeling of well being. and like this show mentions i was having cramping and thats been gone too.

[@cindyrhodes]

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!! ❤❤

[@AMan-vs4vs]

Big contributor for migraines / headaches. At least for me. Mag glycinate nearly eliminated completely

[@hermosasons1]

Dr Berg You saved my daughter from drugs for depression I sent a video from you referring to D3 She went and took her blood and it showed 15 Dr said don’t take the drug from your therapist please. Let’s try this natural remedy. She also is borderline diabetic And has an infection in her blood Thank you from my heart. Dubai

[@Drberg]

That's really wonderful, glad to be an inspiration!

[@CrystalHfff]

Dr.Berg have you written a book ? If you have, I would definitely pay for all this wisdom, I bet your followes would too. If you haven't, I think it would be amazing to start one ! 😊

[@JimD77]

The problem is that they have determined that pre-made salads are often contaminated and most of us don't have time to mess around with heads of lettuce. Also studies have shown that if you have high calcium, mag supplementation does nothing. Yes, it is still required, but won't fix that issue. Which is quite interesting.

[@mrs.v4565]

THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR SPEAKING TRUTH & HELPING US ALL GET HEALTHY 🙏 GOD BLESS YOU 💖

[@southerncalifornia3155]

I was diagnosed with brugada, they wanted to put a defibrillator in my heart. But after I started improving my diet in the EKG the brugada pattern disappeared. I still get palpitations sometimes, it could be due to too much cacao that I'm addicted to

[@jw8556]

GP's have a lot to answer for and not just checking simple deficiencies but just taking kick backs for handing out drugs to mask the symptoms

[@godnyx117]

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.

[@sarahb.6475]

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.

[@beckymcloud5318]

Great information! Life saving. This true nutritional data needs to be taught in primary school.

[@Drberg]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@susanoakley7322]

A neurologist put me on daily: Magnesium 500mg, Riboflavin 400mg and CoQ 200mg for headaches/better sleep.

[@IAmClearAsCrystal]

Did it or is it working?

[@susanoakley7322]

Yes, it does work! But seriously, my headaches were from muscles in my neck/shoulders tensing up, so you might get relief with just the Magnesium.

[@susanoakley7322]

I know my diet was crap back then plus I worked 12 hour weekend night shifts. I don’t remember what my labs were like, just my A1C which was pre-diabetic range and cholesterol panel was whacky. But the Mag, B2, CoQ combo does work well. You can find supplements with these three components already in them.

[@RPRsChannel]

*_How do Carnivores get Magnesium?? How do Carnivores get enough of any Vitamin or Mineral?_*

[@redmitchell4483]

Were using Mag to try to suppress our daughters petite seizures which worked for a while, sadly has now had to go on meds..

[@fairchild1737]

Die-it drinks may cause seizures. Did for my son!

[@hineserout7379]

Try extra virgin coconut oil. Cured my dog’s seizures and think there’s been people studies on it

[@TahitiDanceFitness]

Thank You for this video Dr Berg!

[@elektron2kim666]

I like milk, so it's been a great help to eat magnesium tablets for muscles/nerves now and then. It's very calming. Once I did something "alternative" with this stuff and calcium + magnesium together is certainly worth some consideration. Not sure about skeleton issues in this with constantly consuming those products, but there are tests for that too. Having a mind controlled doctor or not is another factor which might effect the "feel good" in your life.

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

Thanks. Diagnosed with fibromyalgia 17 years ago along w neuropathy. Always fatigued and extremely tight muscles entire back and neck area. Just had the worst Charlie horse in both calves waking me up from sleep

[@Robert-A-R]

Jeepers! I almost tick all the boxes - I struggle to sleep, I feel fatigued, I get very irritable and I also suffer from cramp. Quick, nurse, pass me the magnesium! Thanks dr Berg - I’m upping my mag intake

[@ropeyarn]

A high sodium intake greatly exacerbates a deficiency in magnesium. The first subclinical sign is constipation. You only need a small amount of magnesium but it is an essential small amount. Too much makes you bad tempered. A few dolomite tablets a day if you hate salads.

[@KaiPonte]

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.

[@florichahal7668]

As a smoothie, puree or soup

[@ST-yc7uj]

Lettuce can do that? If anything, it makes my bowel movements faster!

[@KaiPonte]

@@ST-yc7ujlettuce doesn’t do anything for me. If I need to loosen up, I’ll eat a pound of bacon.

[@angelitapineda4545]

I love this doctor. Very knowledgeable and generous enough to share to people for good health. We need this kind of doctor.

[@Drberg]

I appreciate your comment! Glad to help!

[@TheCatnipCinema]

For me, it's muscle cramping or weird nerve issues. One time I was electrolyte deficient on moderate hike, and my thumb muscle started hurting a lot. It continued to hurt after the hike was over and even after I took magnesium. (I guess at that point it was too late) A day later, I noticed a huge dark bruise right where the pain was located. Super weird! I also get odd unexplained nerve pain where the surface of my skin in specific areas will be extremely sensitive to touch and will feel like someone rubbed sandpaper on it for a minute. It sometimes hurts for days!!

[@sweetpeace5]

B12 for nerve

[@TheCatnipCinema]

@@sweetpeace5 Oh really? Thank you, I will definitely try that. I take nutritional yeast every day but it sadly misses b12. I recently bough spiraluna for the first time with b12. It's kinda gross tasting ngl. I may try another avenue.

[@carleyjonathanfickling8328]

I have the same nerve pain on the skin like you explained. Always thought it was strange

[@TheCatnipCinema]

@@carleyjonathanfickling8328 Oh wow! What parts of the body do you get it on? I get it on the softer inside section of my arms usually, but a few days ago I got it on my upper back around my scapula! It's never happened before in that spot.

[@carleyjonathanfickling8328]

It's usually top of my leg or lower back. I can only explain it as when I was a kid and would get flu and the sore skin , like don't even touch me. Its so bizarre and I don't know what triggers it?

[@catbb1000]

6 months ago I had a Dr appointment and told him I was tired and my arms felt like lead. He ordered blood work and we found out I had a D and folate deficiency. My magnesium and B12 were good. He prescribed 50,000 ui of D and multi for folate. Didn't take long for my energy level and depression to improve. I did switch to magnesium glycinate after watching Dr Berg.

[@TonyMoze]

It’s interesting how they don’t teach all the nutritional stuff in Med school…. But? Doctor Berg does! ⭐️

[@mayathebee5010]

Dr Berg= Gem.

[@msal3515]

Also, don’t know if it’s proven but I believe my high blood pressure medication is depleting my magnesium or potassium. The same thing that’s supposed to help high blood pressure is the same thing that is basically keeping me having to use it like a never ending cycle…..

[@aalliaandreadis5109]

Only way to fix your blood pressure for good is to do the Niacin protocol. It must be the flush version nicotinic acid and it must not be time released. You must take a minimum of 500mg (half a gram) and withstand the uncomfortable flushing effect which feels like an allergy, you go all red and tingly but it is not an adverse or allergic reaction, it's the Niacin working and causing vasodilation. The scientific protocol calls for 1500mg for 40 days. I'm only taking 500mg but the flushing works so well and I think it's enough. It only lasts one hour and yes it's very uncomfortable but your pressure and cholesterol levels will improve within 21 days and heal in 40. After this , just monitor yourself and continue with normal dose b complex. This is the only way to both get off the poisonous meds and fix your problem. It's dead cheap too. Wish you well,

[@claralincoln2823]

You are correct! Please, see your doctor. Low potassium could put you into cardiac arrest. My doctor prescribes me potassium pills that I take twice daily.

[@diannegreen4196]

Years ago I was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse but was never told anything about magnesium. Thank you Dr. Berg for your very informative videos. I am now suffering with twitching of the eye lids, cramping leg muscles, irritability, mood swings and fatigue so I guess I need to get myself some magnesium.

[@TundeEszlari]

Very good content, keep it up.

[@billybongthornton4285]

I took vitamin D for about 2 months, was getting really fatigued, and couldn't function at work. Took magnesium and got better in a couple of weeks. Apparently, vitamin D depletes magnesium.

[@miriamnadugo-dugyon6123]

Now, i totally understand why i had soft bones years back. My diet was very high Na+ from chips, high sugar from rice,bread and chocolate and not to forget the diuretic effect of coffee (5 cups a day) making me lose more electrolytes making it worse...Thanks so much Eric berg you made so simple to understand.

[@vivetkah]

I like that Dr. Berg talks to us as if we’re not medical doctors unlike other bideos where the guests as well as the interviewer are Drs. They rant on and on using medical language.

[@xristinarose2409]

Magnesium is very tricky. I did a bloodtest and magnesium tested ok but when i started taking supplements, my heart rythm improved within days so blood tests are tricky, dont rely to much on them. I calculated my diet and i found that most likely i wont get enough so now i take supplements. Oh yea and my eye spasm went away. Less important but a nice bonus

[@ut561]

good video, simple and well presented. Dr Berg for president, I'd vote for you :)

[@hurafloyd]

I found out just recently thanks to Dr. Berg’s valuable content, that around 15 years ago, I had both Mg and K deficiency, same with Iron and Vit. D and B complex deficiency, I dont know how Im still alive after that lol add to it an undiagnosed hypothiroidism and eating soy rich foods. Probably I wouldnt have suffered as much as I suffered at that time. That constant twitching, cramping, the constant nightmares when I didnt have insomnia and I even had a pseudo heart cramp (yes, believe it or not) that woke me up in the middle of the night thinking that Isuffered a heart attack, made some tests and doctor determined that a heart problem was impossible (I was doing sports often too so it was a valid conclusion). Now I do still have some sleeping issues but its nothing compared to those times.

[@ballen772]

Dr Berg can you talk about the new study that was just reported about erythritol? I am hoping it's only half truths.

How long does it take to get back to normal magnesium levels?

I use Magnesium oil spray for deodorant. If you spray it on your inner thigh’s before bed you’ll sleep good. Magnesium is absorbed topically better than Internally.

If you have muscle spasms I highly recommend Magnesium Glycinate. The spasms are not twitching they are much more painful than that
