Thanks Dr Berg for all your valuable info. Is the only reason you do not recommend Magnesium Sulfate because it might have an undesired laxative effect, otherwise it’s good? Or are there other problems with it? I am a female and I have on average taken a half a tsp. (500mg) per day of Magnesium Sulfate/ Epsom salt since I was a teenager. I am 70yrs old. I can count on 1 hand how many times I ever had menstrual cramps unlike my sister who use to roll around on the floor in cramping pain. My other family members (father,mother,sister) have all had heart attacks and I haven’t. As a teenager I read Adelle Davis’ book Let’s Eat Right To Keep Fit which introduced me to the high benefits of Magnesium. For colon detox purposes, I’ve taken one Tablespoon (3,000 mg) or more to purposely cause a laxative effect from Magnesium Sulfate. I’m all for taking the best forms of nutrients so do you know if Magnesium Sulfates’ only fault is that it causes in some people diarrhea or are there other defects in taking Magnesium Sulfate/Epsom Salt.Thank You.

Hey Dr Berg, I am a huge fan of yours! Random question for you. Seems like you have recommended Magnesium to many of your clients. I have been on 120 Mg of Pure encapilcaitons glycinate. I want to increase sleep quality, reduce stress(even though it is much better than it was), and increase energy. This is the question. I know we need 300-400 mg of magnesium. I tried to take more. I did 240 one day then got up to about 350mg. I know this must be very uncommon but it increased my anxiety. It was like it turned on the fight or flight mode and then when I backed off it the next few days things got better. Most days my anxiety is a 2-3 but it got up to an 8 and nothing stressful was going on. I saw a few people saying this when I was reading some Amazon reviews. I take an Omega 3, 2000-3000 Iu of Vitamin d per day(including the amount in multi) and that's it. It is really odd. Maybe the mechanism of glycine is causing this? Any guesses? Obviously, there is no way to know for certain. :) Thanks in advance!

That’s a very generic question- it depends on which amino acids your body is producing as to which compounds they bind with if at all or pass through unbound and unabsorbed. That’s why 99% of people here keep rabbiting on about how they literally take no supplements and get everything from food yet remain obtuse and wilfully ignorant of how absorption even works.

I personally think 10 cups of vegetables a day is idiotic especially for small statured women or sedentary/ injured sick women etc. Having said that, not a single person on earth gets any kind of daily report their body spits out a confirmation receipt for, that states how much from meal x or y went towards magnesium, calcium, vitamin C etc and what chemical compound it was bound to for absorption. You just have to make an assumption that it did it in some form, and in enough quantities then had all the other factors line up like no malabsorption, no stomach acid issues, no issues with digestive enzymes, no celiac, no antibiotics, no situation where you ate spinach but forgot to add in lemon or lime juice to break the oxylate bond so that you could absorb its nutrients, no other supplements you took that interferes with absorption of each other eg didn’t take minerals at the same time and a host of other variables. Unless you literally do eat 10 cups of veggies a day which hardly anyone does especially on OMAD etc then there are nutrients you’re not getting and leaving it to chance to get them all from food every day.

Hey Doc I just want to thank you for your videos they helped me out a lot they're very informative and I find myself only watching your videos cuz you're the only person I seem to trust on here these days so again kudos to you please don't ever stop what you're doing and thank you very much good sir😊

[@Drberg]

You're absolutely welcome!

[@netrina2712]

And what's the negatives about the ones you don't recommend, cause we have taken those back in the past 🤔🤔🤔thank you anyway dr.BEST🙏💞

[@quarantinilife9122]

Yes I want to know too! My Magnesium I have is Oxide, and also Phosphate with is not mentioned

[@littlepea12]

Same questions here. I'm taking Natural Calm which is based on Magnesium Carbonate.

[@hori8078]

most of them absorb really poorly and are a waste of money, some work for high acitdity, some include weird stuff

[@netrina2712]

Thank you all for the immediate response!!Stay safe 🙏

[@penalver7839]

Very por absortion

[@Tommy_76]

magnesium citrate works very well with keeping my blood sugar in check

[@JeffHayes-nx2qi]

Dr. Berg, thank you for all your educational videos. I watch constantly and make "the healthiest bread in the world" nearly every week! You mention in this video to stay away from sulfate, carbonate, oxide and hydroxide, but don't say why. I've been using a carbonate product that seems to work well, but now considering other types. Do you mind sharing a little more detail on the not-to-use forms and why?

[@Drberg]

We'll add that to our video suggestion list. Dr. Berg's Support Team.

[@krystalwilson3751]

Which one would you prefer is best to combat high calcium in the blood?

[@Gonindunit2]

I'm in a country where you can't buy, for example, Potassium. I had to order it online and it isn't cheap. I've searched through every label from every vitamin company supplier and they're ALL Magnesium Oxide. So, I'm doing the following: Continuing to avoid (as much as possible) the gunk that's out there. Not allow stress to push me around, but trust GD. Buy only organic plants or seeds. Grow my own healthy organic salad varieties. Fertilize organically. Don't spray them with poison. Keep them happy. Protect the bees from spider webs (I relocate the spiders, even if they're whoppers). Make a deal with the slugs, i.e. "Thus far and no further." Use no bee-killing pesticides, no bee-killing sticky, yellow fly paper. Pray for Jesus' help all along the journey. And Gd's peace be with you.

[@grahamjackmacpherson6501]

Just recently purchased a magnesium supplement that contains 5 of these in one capsule. Did my research beforehand so knew to avoid the oxides.

[@tjmyers7851]

Thank you Doctor Berg. Lots of people are talking about vitamins, I didn't care. I just looked for you. Thank you for all your research and care for us! Blessings...

[@Drberg]

Very glad to be of help.

[@CJ-yf5cr]

Should I just buy all of the good magnesium he mentioned and just take 1 pill of each a day? Is that safe? 🤔

[@jodykennelly6645]

I have been spraying Magnesium Chloride on the bottoms of my feet and on cramped muscles such as leg and stomach muscles. I feel it helps me relax and sleep well. Any thoughts on Magnesium Chloride, Dr. B?

[@cosmichealth3907]

It's great...cheap and importantly its effective...citrate is for muscles and chloredide is for tissues...good in flu season

[@jaime1818]

I had muscles pain and inflamación on my upper back and legs cramps. After using magnesio chloride for two weeks the pain in my back went away ultil today 6 years later. No more muscle cramps either. Thanks God That thing works for sure. Tables. I kept using it for two or three years.

[@youssahmad]

Dr Berg if I’m in a healthy keto from 2 years and I’m now 34 years old, and I will remain on this lifestyle until the last day of my life, my question is it necessary to look older by age? Wrinkles? White hair? Etc.

[@nancymacavoy3427]

Selenium deficiency will cause grey hair

[@S-Sage]

People should be careful recommending magnesium glycinate without mentioning the balancing act between magnesium, sodium, and calcium. Taking high absorption magnesium glycinate w/o paying attention to salt & calcium intake can do the opposite, causing heart palpitation, anxiety, and stomach issues, as it did for me. Taking 400mg of magnesium oxide periodically solved my heart issues.

[@rickdalessandro882]

Still amazing!!!! Thanks to you I'm still in great health!! Watching you since you started! Huge fan!!!!!

[@debbiejoe3554]

How about Magnesium Chelate? any thoughts on that one... Thank you

[@rachkate76]

Amino acid chelate is good.

[@lightened6445]

Magnesium bisglycinate is the same as magnesium chelate, it is chelated with glycinate/bisglycinate.

[@sonjakientsch7595]

I was taking a magnesium complex and after testing found my body only likes magnesium sulfate. I was taking magnesium citrate, glycinate and taurate. Nothing worked. Every body is different..

[@shelly936]

@Dr. Eric Berg DC. Is it safe to combine all 6 types of the best magnesium that you mention in this video? Best I have found is some containing 3 out of the 6 you mention as the best ones. Thank you!

[@lordginadiluvio1934]

Dr.berg what is the best brand for mag glycinate powder u can recommend? 😊

[@chantalrefuse6011]

Good morning, how many mg is necessary to have these benefits? I’m taking magnesium glycinate 400 mg for help with sleep & anxiety and I am not sure if I am getting enough. It does help a tad with sleep and I’m wondering if I increase the dose if I would get more of the benefits.

[@advanced8998]

400mg is enough...if you're taking a good version Too much magnesium = diarrhea

[@pramuanchutham7355]

On the back label of Healthy Origins Magnesium bisglycinate, a scoop (2 grams) gives you only 200mg (50%DV), or only 10% of the compound ending up as elemental magnesium that your body nreeds(400mg daily). Don't be misled by the total weight of the compound;you're getting only a tenth of it as free magnesium. So yes, you can increase to 2 scoops(4 grams) to get the daily requirement, not counting other sources such as vegetables or food.

[@pramuanchutham7355]

Magnesium bisglycinate or malate don't cause diarrhea like magnesium citrate, by a long shot. Magnesium Citrate is used to clean the colon for colonoscopy (i was told 8-10 grams).

[@maddisonbythesea3015]

I take 600mg of glycinate. For a few years I took 800mg which is a migraine protocol.

[@Drberg]

Hi there! You may find this Dr. Berg's video helpful regarding your question: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i52VfoWQjNN6eaM Dr. Berg's Support Team.

[@nomparfait]

Very helpful video. Thanks. Why should those 4 be avoided?

[@sporqfoon5989]

What about full-spectrum Chelate, Elemental Magnesium? That's how the bottle describes the supplement we use.

[@rachkate76]

What kind of chelate tho- amino acid chelate, etc.

[@lilyofthevalley4740]

Yes I've chelate too. Amino acid chelate.

[@UnivBelt]

How much mg of magnesium glycinate is safe to take for women over 50?

[@JusThought68]

Dr Berg can you please do more of these videos for other minerals?

[@Drberg]

Hi! I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this subject. Dr. Berg's Support Team.

[@lindapow9351]

Thank you Eric - Dr Berg, trying today

[@Drberg]

Most welcome!
