Do you have leg cramps? Anxiety? Do you suffer from high blood pressure or migraines? Is your energy less than it should be? Do you have soft bones? You could be magnesium deficient.
In this video, Jordan Rubin shares more of the common symptoms of magnesium deficiency, the most at-risk people (although roughly 80 percent of Americans are magnesium deficient), the benefits of magnesium, magnesium-rich foods, the best supplements, supporting nutrients and absorption blockers.

[@ithacacomments4811]

My 47 yr old son has been on Nexium for years. Today he was in the ER with heart palpations. His bloodwork showed low magnesium. So most likely the med blocked the absorption of the nutrients from his foods because it reduced the stomach acid.

[@Icecold0505]

Get him off the Nexium now. He needs to look in to natural ways to heal his gut and microbiome. DGL Licorice chews, probiotics, drinking more water, and modifying his diet to remove fried and carb laden foods. Treating the symptoms and not the cause is what the medical system wants to keep you paying.

[@TheDawn0310]

I've started taking Magnesium at night to help with leg cramps. I think this was my 2nd or third night with out leg cramps. I didn't realize all the at risk factors I had and had just researched an at home way to stop leg cramps. Thanks for all the great info.

Really very good video. I started to have 4 weeks ago very bad anxiety and panic attacks and massive adrenaline rush and after research and a lot of search I found one of the reason for my problem is probably magnesium. I bought magnesium citrate and started to take it every single day and I have to say after 2 weeks I really feel much better. Panic attacks gone and still have anxiety but not that strong as 4 weeks ago. Magnesium is natural antidepressant.

[@AshSchultzArt]

Bretislav Kazdera consider B complex vitamins, potassium deficiency can contribute to anxiety, exercise, mediation and improve your gut health. I've got anxiety/panic attacks. this stuff helped me very mostly back to normal

Natural organic unbleached sugar if you want to use sugar. Its not that sugar is bad for you,(we need sugar also) its that white sugar is bleached and devoid of any nutrients, and if you combine that with bleached white salt and bleached flour, you have a chemical cocktail for disease.

Talk about God all you want to because I'm a disciple. Great video btw. I take Everyday Calcium, a food based formula w/enzymes, D, Citrate, amino acid chelate, carbonate, oxide, aspartate. I also take a probiotic. It has helped tremendously with leg cramps, but my question is if my BM's are super soft-like, non-formed...do you think I'm taking too much probiotic and cal/mag? I find that I can't take the full dosage of cal/mag (4 tablets). Thank you for your help. Also, we cook our beans in a crock pot. Does that mean that we're cooking it wrong? We don't soak them...just put in slow cooker.

Dear Doctor. I think that 400 GMs of mag is causing my stomach pains. It is chelated , make solgar , I thought would be the best for me. I have ibs and diverticulitis attacks sometimes. I also have soft bones ,sleep problems, high blood pressure ( under control ) anxiety and am sometimes depressed , especially in the winter . I've been prescribed vit d and magnesium in the form of paste to put on fingers and toes and in chocolate(, 70% ) 40 GMs a day . that is expensive so I've been trying 400 mg tablets . I'm a woman so it should have been 300mgs . So I'm waiting for this attack to pass and then I thought I'd try 200 MG's, half a tablet. What do you think ? Could there be a better form for me to minimise this effect on my bowels ? Thankyou.

Hello. I heard some years ago about magnesium deficit and they said that we should eat magnesium chloride (I'm not sure if I'm translating correctly from Spanish to English) I can get that at local drugstores here in Mexico. I have been consuming it for some time now. But what I wanted to ask was if this is a good magnesium source. Can someone tell?

[@Pipster-oe6om]

Hi. That type is very cheap and will be poorly absorbed. Look for magnesium Bisglynate pills or take a magnesium spray and spray it o. Your legs where you get cramps. 👍

[@mamapatdontoh3806]

Am not absorbing what sm eating.Dr Axe says that " you are not what you eat but what you absorb" pls can magnesium help me to absorb more of my food?

[@VaughnMalecki]

Mama Pat Dontoh that's exactly what it will do. You might also want to eat lots of fermented foods.

The reason not to drink apple cider vinegar

[@louisefalcinelli2303]

Magnesium rich foods work against me. I would never be able to leave the house I would be in the bathroom always. Have any idea why this happens to me?

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

Louise Falcinelli - My advice is to work on digestion. Youngevity products used to affect me like that too but now I'm able to handle them much better. Magnesium is the active ingredient in most laxatives (Magnesium Sulphate). There are much more digestible forms of magnesium but they all have a laxative affect. Take digestive enzymes, probiotics, and L-Glutamine (to help repair your gut). Look into supplementing with Aloe Vera as well. Drink a mixture of Apple Cidar vinegar, water, with a little Stevia to sweeten it. (Use Bragg's Apple Cidar Vinegar with "The Mother" for best results). It will take u 3- to 6-months to repair your gut so be prepare to be in it for the long haul. Our guts didn't get ruined over night, there's no reason to believe that they will heal over night either.

[@nocturnalsbuctalk7402]
