These Are the Best Magnesium Supplements | Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D.

In the landscape of essential nutrients, magnesium is a giant. Despite magnesium's critical functions, nearly half of people in the U.S. don't get enough, primarily due to diets lacking in magnesium-rich foods like dark leafy greens, nuts, and seeds. That's where supplementation can help.
In this video, expect to learn
• The upper safe limit for daily supplemental magnesium intake
• The #1 sign of excessive magnesium supplementation
• Why you should divide up magnesium supplement doses throughout the day
• The most bioavailable (and most effective) magnesium supplements
• Whether or not magnesium threonate is better at crossing the blood-brain barrier
• Why magnesium threonate shouldn't count toward your RDA goal
• Rhonda Patrick's magnesium supplement regimen (doses and brands)

[@thechill205]

Citrate the best?

[@sgtaneja]

@thechill205 Depends on the specific outcome being targeted. For me personally, below is the 1:1 outcome. As of now, I only take magnesium glycinate (day time) & magnesium threonate (night time). I plan to try magnesium taurate next time. 1. Magnesium citrate : energy metabolism, bowel motility & regularity. Works as a mild laxative. NO relaxation or sleep enhancement. Day time magnesium. Recimmended for IBS-C. 2. Magnesium glycinate : energy metabolism, no relaxation or sleep enhancement. Quick absorption, daytime magnesium. 3. Magnesium taurate : energy metabolism, day time magnesium, no sleep enhancement, recommended specifically for cardiovascular issues, works well for blood pressure regulation. 4. Magnesium threonate : Relaxing magnesium with some sleep enhancement. Night time magnesium. Recommend for anxiety & sleep issues. Day time use is not recommended. Expensive ! Note: Contrary to popular belief, magnesium is Not the number 1 supplelement for sleep & relaxation. For that, you'd need pharma grade Glycine free form, pharma grade L-Tryptophan free form, pharma grade L-Theanine & possibly some GABA. Myo Inositol might help those with glucose intolerance induced sleep issues.

When I was in training as psychologist, my supervisor spoke about the benefits of magnesium for a number of reasons, e.g. reduced anxiety, stress and overall well-being. I followed his recommendation and the results were tangible. Mind you, that was in the year 2000, like almost 25 years ago. Btw, that's the value of a great practitioner, whether medical or psych, that they strive to know what is going on outside the box. Thank you, Martin Kleinschnitger, and shout out to you, Dr Rhonda. Great minds always think alike. 👍🙏

[@pohaa]

Love your videos. I've shared the one on all-cause mortality and cancer linked to deficiencies in micronutrients as widely as I can including to specialists, registrars, GPs, medical executives, nurse practitioners, CNCs.. pretty well everyone I can. One thing I think is worth pointing out is that when Rhonda talks about milligrams of magnesium, she is referring to "elemental" and NOT the salt value. In the case of Glycinate, for instance, to get 300mg of elemental magnesium, you need a 3000mg (3g) dose. I often find that people are taking a 500mg tablet of some salt (they usually don't know), thinking they are hitting RDA.. when in fact they might only be absorbing say 10-30mg, even less with sulfate or oxide.

My understanding is that GI effects can occur as a result of low concentrations of magnesium in the gut wall. Starting at low doses then steadily increasing results in the ability to absorb greater amounts without suffering diarrhoea. I regularly consume a scoop of powder with more than 300mg of elemental magnesium in it without any negative side effects. It wasn't the case initially though. Take it slow and steady is the key.

Just for anybody wondering, she takes different forms of magnesium salts such as Magnesi-Om by Moon Juice or magnesium glycinate by Pure Encapsulations.

None of the magnesium supplements worked for me, until I started having high-dose active B6 / P5P along with an active B complex and a time realsed vit C with rutin. Without the above, I had developed magnesium & zinc intolerance and had very poor absorption of magnesium & zinc. I find the amino acid Glycine and B vitamin folate along with apigenin, 10X more relaxing and sleep inducing compared to magnesium.

[@elinope4745]

I am a shell shocked veteran, I got severe anxiety issues and I care about my health. I get my magnesium from epsom salt baths. My doctor complained that my magnesium levels were too high. In my not a professional but a fan of life hacking opinion, the actual fastest and best way to get a lot of magnesium to absorb fast is to eat eggs for dinner and the following morning do a workout and drink some coffee then take a cold bath with epsom salt in it while you are still sweating from the workout, an ice bath if you can tolerate it. Soak in the epsom salt for twenty minutes and then shower it off and wash with soap after, or if you are extremely magnesium deficient you can refrain from washing the salt off in the morning and just take a shower later at night to wash it off. I have seen no studies in books that say this, but it seems to me like, as your body excretes sodium, and potassium with sweat that the outward force of these metals through active diffusion in sweat, creates an ionic reactive force that will help pull magnesium through the skin and into the extracellular fluid of the hypodermis. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, active diffusion one way can power diffusion in the other direction as well and this is a type of salt transport. I heard that absorption is better in cold than in hot baths, I know that egg protein is the best protein shy of milk protein to act as a dietary boost of active transport ligands, takes about 5 to 8 hours from eating to it to available in the blood.

Cold exposure after a workout isn't optimal though. Search Google for "cold exposure before or after workout"

Has anyone here heard of magnesium bicarbonate? I'm trying to wrap my head around if its worth pursuing. Apparently its the highest bioavailable form of magnesium as it occurs naturally in water.

But did you know that that apparently 1/4 to 1/8 of magnesium glycinate is elemental magnesium. Meaning the rest is glycine supposedly. I only saw one supplement maker that included this ratio in their label.
