Love these guys. Their easy going banter makes their delivery fun. Very informative. Watched every day after knee replacement just for the encouragement.

[@faith-mc8fe]

I love the fact that you two are funny but also serious and very knowledgeable! I'm glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work guys and keep being you!

[@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.

Per night time.. ( not in the day) Always Check Vit D3 levels With Blood test. Never Stop taking D3 as it’s a Hormone.. and it’s a morning VITAMIN… Add Vitamin K2.. m7 or AND k2 Foods. GLUTATHIONE is involved in antioxidant process to prevent aging and CANCER. After age 50 we make less Glutathione!!!!

And CALCIUM levels, AND Vitamin C, then Causes Anaemia low Iron… and BONE density… Magnesium levels. Are lowered BY PPIS… One can feel Light headed or dizzy!

[@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.

Last time he accused Dr Weening of being a boomer and he's still on his case about being boring! But you did give us a nice list of magnesium to take. Even though you lost count and Dr Weening kept talking and tried to give us every magnesium on the planet! Did he mention the magnesium that appeared in the meteor that just landed on our planet? I really loved this episode because I'm a compulsive list maker! I was thrilled when Dr Weening snuck in more than your official list!😋 You two are a riot, you make learning so much fun! Now that you know I'm a compulsive list maker, you know I wrote all of them down! Although I only wrote 4 down and included the ones not to take. So I actually wrote down 5! Your lists are so thorough, better than any I have made! Once again you've come through and given the information we asked about! We've had a nice dose of chicken wings but learned they don't contain any magnesium! If only they did, Dr Z would be so happy, he would never need any supplements and live on just chicken wings!

My GP was concerned and ordered full Cardiologist workup, EKG, Echo-cardiogram, stress test,... Cardiologist found everything OK and advised that I may try taking Mg supplement, it may help. It helped indeed, when I went to the Doc' I was in the process of constructing pathway in backyard requiring a lot of kneel-down-stand-up work and I needed to stop it, dizziness was exhausting. After just few weeks on common Mg supplement, Mg Oxide from Sundown, 500mg/day those symptoms were gone and never came back(I keep taking it). I finished that project easily as in younger days.

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.

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

Agree Greg

Love this video! Great explanation of different types of supplements. Does magnesium help reduce hair loss?

[@TalkingWithDocs]

It can in some people

[@serena7397]

Great info! I've been taking the same Magnesium for 4 year's. Chelated Magnesium I used to have leg cramps and the plus was it helps to relax my anxiety. Is it okay to mix Chelated with Glycinate? magnesium

[@TalkingWithDocs]

So Glycinate is considered chelated so worth a tru

Just found this channel, and I think it’s great! I have a question about which Mg form is best for nerve function. I have Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy in my feet and lower legs and would like to see if additional Mg might help.

[@katsm-wo9704]

Yes I too have this condition and would like to know

[@SoCrazyInLove13]

I take magnesium for migraines. I sleep better, I feel better and I’ve been more regular. Who knew it could help so many things.

[@TalkingWithDocs]

That’s great news

[@omotoyosiadejumo4313]

I was experiencing horrible morning leg cramps and I would've had *NO IDEA* that it was due to me suffering from a magnesium deficiency if I hadn't listened to a podcast on the subject. Once I started taking the daily recommended dose of magnesium glycinate for my gender and age group, like magic my cramps immediately went away and have stayed gone.

[@KBradAdams]

So which one is best for cramps?

[@opo3628]

@@KBradAdams - *GLYCINATE* -- hands-down, our bodies absorb it the best out of all the magnesium types.

You guys are awesome. Make me laugh, best meds out there. Ty. I’m 65 yr old woman. How do you know if you need magnesium

[@TalkingWithDocs]

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

[@christineboydstrongtower]

I second that❣️❣️👍. We need more doctors like you two….put a smile on our face and don’t take take yourself so serious ❣️😁😁👍

[@kenzeetwo]

My favorite is Magnesium Glycinate.

[@partridgepear]

You guys are funny, but also very informative. Thanks.

[@LindaW1956]

Great information. I need all of them, lol! Can you combine them? I have oxide, citrate and glycinate and I'm confused. :) Love you guys! So funny and cute. :)

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Some people do combine multiple forms at different times of the day

[@Nordicroo]

As a diabetic T2 I was wondering which Magnesium is likely to be more beneficial? I recently bought one called 'Magnesium High Strength' which includes Magnesium Citrate. I have arthritis and various aches and pains from a life of physicality. Thanks!

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Maybe Taurate

[@jeanneroseman6114]

Can or should you take more than one type of magnesium?
