Magnesium Supplements: Which ones you should take

[@dianealbrecht718]

Magnesium glycinate, Soloray brand 350mg for afib. Works in 10 minutes ! I take 4 to 5 a day, depending how active i am usually with food.

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Thanks for sharing

[@kevinrtres]

The list : Magnesium Citrate - could help with constipation, i.e. could lead to diarrhea if overused. Magnesium Sulphate - just stay away for internal use - use to rub on muscles instead. Magnesium Glycinate - well tolerated by most people, combined with amino acid so highly bioavailable. Magnesium Tuarine - another linked with amino acid - help with metabolic syndrome...to be verified. Magnesium L Threonate - supposedly crosses the brain-blood barrier and can help relieve the mental conditions like lack of anxiety, sleep, depression, dementia. Supposedly. Magnesium Oxide - just avoid unless you really can't afford any of the others above. Magnesium chelate - could be either Glycinate or Tuarine or some other amino acid - the manufacturers are rather shy to make known just what is binding to the magnesium. Use as per the above with amino acid stuff.

Supplements taken daily: 1) Centrum Silver Multivitamin for Women 50+, 2) Magnesium Citrate Softgel 500 mg, 3) Vitamin D3 + K2 Softgel 125 mcg/100 mcg and 4) L-Arginine 1000-2000 mg. I have mentioned magnesium citrate on the previous video re: magnesium; this is the complete picture. Quite happy and content with the outcome and results. Otherwise on no prescriptions. Known medical conditions include spastic cerebral palsy (premature birth, but CP not diagnosed or treated until age 3) and surgically-induced lymphedema of bilateral lower extremities (since 1978). Two surgeries in total of BLE, 1971 and 1978. Blessed with good health with minor nuisances, all things considered.

Oxide is just absorbed slowly so magnesium levels in blood don't skyrocket, as in case of citrate, but gradually increases. So taking oxide can be considered better option as you want to maintain stable upper levels and not acute attacks of Mg concentration in blood.

[@TalkingWithDocs]

It is absorbed more slowly, but it is also absorbed, less completely and less effectively.

[@michaelhayes4759]

Love your videos. Minor correction regarding magnesium citrate. Citric acid does come from citrus fruit but nearly all (99%) is now manufactured from a process that uses a form of aspergillus niger (black mold). It's known as MCA or manufactured citric acid. Mold is filtered out but reactions that include muscle aches, joint pain, breathing problems etc. have been known to occur in response to MCA, but not to the citrus fruit form. Although reactions are rare it's something to consider, especially if you have issues with mold.

[@liinu01]

@michaelhayes4759 thank you so much for this info, would you say Calcium Citrate has the same black mold issue in manufacture ....? many thanks.

[@michaelhayes4759]

Same MCA so yes. Probably most are safe but would be careful about cheap supplements sourced from China, etc. since filtering processes there may not be ideal. Also would consider alternatives to citrates if you have a severe mold allergy. I have one so I avoid all citrates just to be on the safe side.

Here's an odd one for you, when I take magnesium (I've tried them all) I get constipated. I don't take calcium with it or separately. If I don't take magnesium, I have zero issues. The reason why I tried magnesium is that I do heavy resistance training in the gym. So, unfortunately, no more magnesium for me. :(

[@TalkingWithDocs]

That’s odd Alex

[@TheSilverlover999]

I take Magnesium L-Threonate i take it if im stressed out or having a headache it works all the time. I also take Thiamine along with Magnesium as they work hand in hand just like the two doctors here😁

[@leeonmyscreen]

What about the magnesium for your bones, which one is that?

[@TalkingWithDocs]

They all will help your bones

[@Paula-bh7rp]

Sorry but after all that talk I still don't know which one I should take

[@savoryexposure]

Yeah this wasn’t helpful 😢

[@Stefan-lf5bq]

Magnesium Bisglycinate is the best. Has superior absorption with the least side effects. Take 2600mg to 3000mg of Magnesium Bisglycinate, which is around 400 elemental magnesium. Depends on the absorption rate. Don't take magnesium 5 in 1 or anything like that. Magnesium Bisglycinate is superior, and you should concentrate on taking it alone.

[@no22sill]

​@@Stefan-lf5bqIs chelated magnesium glycinate the same thing?

[@Stefan-lf5bq]

@@no22sill Magnesium glycinate is a compound where magnesium is bound to glycine, an amino acid, which enhances its absorption and reduces gastrointestinal discomfort. Magnesium bisglycinate is a specific form of magnesium glycinate where two glycine molecules are bound to one magnesium atom, improving stability and absorption. Both forms are well-absorbed, but bisglycinate may offer slightly better bioavailability.

I take Magnesium for Afib, and…. A fib gone for over a year, citrate, glycinate, you guys do great videos, ie on creatine thank you

[@braddsn]

This is how it's done. You guys make learning fun, and down to earth. Thanks for making the world a better place. I take Magnesium Threonate, L-Theanine, and Apigenin as a trio for sleep. Works great! I would like to see you guys do a video on the synergistic effects of taking vitamins D3+K2 (MK-7). Lots of promising studies on this combo. Keep up the awesome videos!

Magnesium GLYCINATE! The best form I've taken so far..the least gastrointestinal side effects, highly absorbable and effective. My sleep improved, my resting heart rate (which was always too fast) came down and my anxiety is much less and not to mention the sustained energy throughout the day

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Yes it’s a good one

[@elizabethsmith3416]

I loved this. I take magnesium citrate when I need for severe muscle spasms , cramping. Your right it is a fine line of balance with gastric function. ❤

Yes, it gets rid of the leg cramps and causes cramps in your belly. It just move them.🤣

[@tebanjose6928]

Hi Sharon. It is very hard to test for as our first magnesium video talks about. 3/4 of people don’t get enough. Some people supplement and see if they feel better. Just start low dose
