[@johnsteele8382]

I’m 65 and started taking Magnesium Glycinate for the first time last night, a brand from Costco called Nature’s Bounty. I don’t know if it is chelated or not. Anyway my first night’s experience was great, I slept better than I have for a while. I’m hoping this helps my insomnia in the long term.

I take Magnesium Bisglycinate made by Canadian company Jadin Nutraceuticals because it is the only one I have been able to find that doesn't have magnesium stearate, which is a flow agent that is hard on the liver. I take one in the morning and about 2 hrs before bed I take Magnesium-L Threonate made by another Canadian company called Organika. This helps with my sleep and menopause transition brain

Hi Dr Kim, I am 71 and have had High Blood pressure diagnosed about 30 years ago. I take medication every day but my readings are ridiculously high especially at night when I am resting e.g. 180 over 90 and sometimes scarily higher. I started taking a Magnesium blend of Glycinate, Citrate, Laureate, Malate, Rotate and Lactate providing Elemental Magnesium. In the same capsule there is Viamin B6, Zinc and VitaminD3. My BP reading tonight was 120 over 79. I occasionally get some high readings still but I have never had low readings like these at night until I started taking this supplement. Just astonishing. I take one capsule of Vitabright (British company) Magnesium 6 in 1 Complex every day.

Dr Kim. Thank you for this review. I have been taking Calm powder for about 5 years. I am 60. It helps with maintaining my blood pressure, joint/muscle pain, and overall well being. I might try your suggested brands only because I notice that the Calm irritates my bladder. It seems to cause a stinging type of pain when I take a full dose of Calm all at once. I have been trying to add a scoop now to my daily water and sip on it all daylong.

[@tonyp1340]

Excellent analysis Dr Kim. To reply to your question I take a locally (New Zealand) formulated Magnesium containing 40mg from Aqua Marine, 24mg from Glycinate and 40mg from Citrate giving total Mg per capsule of 104mg. We take 3 of these a day along with 4000iu of Vit D3. This is during our winter. We also take Bromine, NAC, Astaxantha, Doctors Best brand 2000FU Nattokinase, 1500mcg Vit B12, 90mg Vit K2. Been taking these almost since the start of the pandemic. We both take the Magnesium about an hour before bed. The D3 we take first thing in the morning about an hour before breakfast or coffee. Never felt better in my 77 years. We are also vaccinated without any side effects from the vaccine except perhaps to say we haven't had Covid or any seasonal flu or illness for years. So not just one brand to recommend other than a lot of amateur research and trying different combos. This seems to be working for us.

Just started taking Nutritionn Magnesium Glycinate that has 212.50 mg (2x) of elemental magnesium (elemental magnesium is recommended by other doctors in youtube) and taking it with 2000 mg of vitamin d3. Doc, is it true that you need at least 5000 to 10k of vitamin d3?

[@patriciakapua7395]

Hi great information as far as magnesium you did not specifically touch on the magnesium I should be taking. I took the hydroxy 25 test and I’m sorry it’s the D 25 hydroxy test. It seems that I have too much vitamin D in my system. I did some research and I am taking magnesium citrate to hopefully soak up all that extra vitamin D? But listening to you about the proper best is magnesium to use for this situation. The closest one that I could come to and I probably wasn’t really paying attention was magnesium citrate. I’m not sure am I taking the right one I had read about this test and mentioned it to my Doctor with he in return wanted to know where I had heard about it. So could you take a few minutes out? I am over here in Hawaii and I certainly would like to know if I am taking the right magnesium and I should be taking something with it thanks for your time. Aloha from Hawaii.

[@gentleoldmoviefan5680]

I've read in a few places (forgot the exact sources, but they seemed knowledgeable) that Magnesium Sulfate is a good form to use when taking an Epsom Salt Bath. (i.e., soaking in it, in order to absorb transdermally). Sally K. Norton, for example, recommends this recipe: 2 cups of high quality Magnesium Sulfate, plus 1/2 cup Baking Soda, plus 1/2 cup Potassium Bicarbonate - dissolved into a warm bath. Then soaking for 20 minutes. 30 minutes at most. As a way to transdermally get more than one healthy mineral into one's body, more efficiently, compared to just orally ingesting various healthy mineral supplements. But I don't know if the absorption rate, transdermally, of the different possible forms of Epsom Salt Bath magnesiums, differs significantly. In other words, the "efficiency" of bodily absorption. Also, I've read elsewhere that Chloride is an important mineral, which the body can well make use of. Not sure of the comparative benefits -- based on the idea of "which mineral is more likely to be deficient?" Sulfate vs. Chloride, etc. I don't know if I've ever seen a presentation on supplemental magnesium that goes into that level of detail (RE: epsom salt baths, that is, and which brands and forms are likely to be best ... for different people's health conditions.)

Thank you for this video. As i was taking vit d3. When i saw Dr Berg's video he explained how d3 bonds to protiens and wont seperate to become effective without magnesium glycinate. He mentioned dosage amounts that are higher than reccomended by established papers. But it seems there are reasons for that that are more buisness than medical. Can you discuss effective and ineffective dosage?As the companies all play games with words, and UI and mgl and equivalents of dosages.No one thats an MD will touch this and it seems to be very important. And the supplement companies know this and use it to sell 240 pills bu t to get a true months effective supply you need like 6 or 8 pills a day. Its all very confusing.

Relation between magnesium and ankle pain ? Could you elaborate?

[@YourWellnessJournal]

Magnesium glycinate, a highly absorbable form of magnesium, offers numerous benefits. It can improve sleep quality, reduce anxiety and stress, alleviate constipation and other digestive issues, and decrease PMS symptoms. Additionally, magnesium glycinate supports heart health, bone density, and muscle function while potentially lowering the risk of migraines and chronic pain.

[@gentleoldmoviefan5680]

Thanks for sharing such detailed (and specific) information :) I've read also, somewhere, that Magnesium Glycinate (when ingested orally, as a supplement) will result in magnesium levels in the body (i.e., blood, and/or bodily tissues) of significantly longer duration, as compared with ingesting other forms of magnesium. In other words, it will "last longer". Thus, it is a preferred form, if a a person wants to have consistently higher levels of Mg remaining in their body - over time. Rather than having "peaks", or spikes, of elevated Mg levels, which reduce or dissipate more rapidly, and fall into suboptimal levels if a person forgets to supplement (orally ingest) frequently enough, in order to keep those levels elevated - and the supply of bio-available Magnesium plentiful. At all times, or at least during the most important times. All of this is presuming, on my part, that Mg acts something like a "water soluble" vitamin, and doesn't get stored by the body very well. Such as fat soluble vitamins do (for example) making the timing and frequency of their intake less important -- as compared to the water soluble vitamins, which need to be taken more frequently if a person wants to maintain optimal (or better) levels of them.
