Thank you so much for this video. You are the first person I have found who really goes into the specifics of magnesium. I am going to watch your night sweats video now. I suspect that my insulin is messy and I wake up at about 3 - 4 almost every night. The small of my back, the back of my neck, and sometimes my arms are very hot and sweaty. I turn over and throw off the covers, cool off, and then go back to sleep. Sometimes this happens several times but usually only around 4. It's rare that I sleep through the night. I literally celebrate when I do!
I am 63, suffer from anxiety, insomnia, heart palpitations (due to sleep deprivation) and constipation due to digestive issues. I take 300 mg of Magnesium Glycinate/citrate just before bedtime and this aids sleep and the other afore-mentioned issues. I have being doing this 4 months now. I take it at 10 pm just before sleep and my night is restful and I feel invigorated next morning . I haver been monitoring how I am feeling every day and I accept what you say about adjusting the times according to which state seems to be becoming biased. This is very useful information, thank you.
Chloride - heartburn, constipation, sore muscles
Citrate - migraines, mood swings, depression, anxiety
Glycinate - stress, anxiety, insomnia, muscle relaxation, sleep, blood pressure
Threonate - ADAH, ADA, memory, brain
Malate - chronic pain, fatigue
Orotate - cardiovascular support
Oxide - poorly absorbed
Sulfate - sore muscles (topical)
Taurate - cardiovascular function, blood sugar & pressure
Thank you for the list
For a lot of people this is insanity, all they want is one magnesium.
@@ibberman The insanity is in the egoic desire for life to be simple,when it obviously isn't.
@@ibberman that's what I want: ONE magnesium
@@ibberman there is. Magnesium bicarbonate. You'd need to make it yourself though.
Funny I’ve been taking magnesium citrate at night about 500 mg for 5 years. I sleep fine. I wake up with the sun. My windows are east facing and wake up with no alarm. I think the sun manages my circadian rhythm.
Nothing funny about it, you are obviously an individual that has a magnesium deficiency from your diet and it is the right solution for you, as he mentions in the video. Glad you found it works for you. I have high end of normal levels of magnesium from my blood panel, as well as a catabolic imbalance from long hours running a small business and fairly intense strength training 5 days a week, and taking magnesium right before bed absolutely ravages my sleep and makes my insomnia noticeably worse, it's terrible. His video explains all this, magnesium can be good or bad based on individual biology/lifestyle/diet.
Ive never heard this anywhere else. Thanks for the information!
Happy to help!
Take 600 mg before bed every night. Deep sleep feel rested and energetic the next day. Magnesium miracle for me.
Right @Eddie Lopez , that is the whole point of this video. Magnesium for sleep is popular because it helps a lot of people sleep. People who are dealing with either low mineral levels or an anabolic imbalance like I talk about in this video. But if you continue to do that, you have the ability to push your body out of it's natural circadian rhythm. You really want to look at your body chemistry and know where you are so you can work with your body instead of against it. Not to mention, if you need magnesium to sleep, the body is dealing with problems that are keeping it from working optimally. You can learn how to do that in our free digestion course here: kickitnaturally.com/course
Let us know how it goes.
Lol did you even watch the video?! Daft comment
Yeah, sort of seemed like you missed the point. But still always fun to hear about when people find their own answers to health problems and can improve them without medications.
Look this one up a little pricey but it’s by far the best magnesium I have found for relaxation and sleep Magnesium Breakthrough by “bioptimizers” if you try it you had best take only one first time, it worked better each night for a few nights. Comprised of 7 or 8 strain’s of Mag
Thank you for your many revealing videos!
I have reduced and now I only take it during the working week.
Excellent information!
Thanks again.
Peace love and blessings 🙏
You are so welcome
Thank you so much for this video. I took magnesium and glutamine this evening and slept in and woke up a couple of minutes later, now insomnia... Tomorrow I take my magnesium and glutamine with breakfast or lunch. You're videos are awesome sir, thank you for your great work, a blessing to many. May God richly bless you.
Magnesium glycinate about an hour before bed is the only thing that stops my restless leg syndrome, and seems to help sleep too.
Here is our video on RLS: ruclips.net/video/2DJGwXL2yMc/видео.html
This guy is full of it. It helps sleep taken at night
@@tigertalks1567 Look at the video, and read the answers here...Not for everyone at night, and some taking too much...
@@tigertalks1567NO IT DOES NOT! Gives me profound insomnia. Incase you have not noticed we are not all the same or have you not worked that out yet?
@@tigertalks1567 You are wrong, it does not help everyone, magnesium makes my insomnia worse, which is exactly what he is trying to teach. This video is exactly the information no one else mentions, I'm grateful to have learned it. He even spent the majority of the video acknowledging how good magnesium is for people deficient in minerals, but outlined that it's more complicated than 'Magnesium good, never bad'. I'm sure he was trying to promote its good qualities so he didn't get a backlash from morons unable to comprehend the nuances he is trying to teach here. Yet, you still left a dumb comment anyway.
Very well explained! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this enlightening video. Taken in by the hype around magnesium for sleep before bed, I took two pills last night and had the worst night's sleep and couldn't figure out why. Before I had been taking it with my breakfast and was OK.
Thanks for sharing and glad it was helpful.
Interesting video. You broke it down nicely and easy to comprehend .
Glad it was helpful, Andy!
I was so happy taking magnesium for horrible leg and feet cramps. Then I stopped sleeping! Thank you for this
Glad it helped you figure that out. Here is our video on cramps in case that helps: ruclips.net/video/EpQoU7AFbB4/видео.html
That is so kind of you.I really appreciate it 👍
Makes so much sense. My metabolism is RAPID naturally which makes it hard for me to relax sometimes. I’ve always taken mag in the evening because everyone says it helps you relax but I swear every time I do, I end up with insomnia and toss and turn all night. I’ll start taking it during the day now!
Great Mikaela, and what can be even better is to go through our totally free digestion course to see if too much magnesium may be creating an imbalance. And a rapid metabolism affecting a person's ability to sleep is a common misconception so you gave me a great idea for a video to make about that. I"ll try to get that done in the next few weeks. Let us know how it goes.
what type of magnesium do you take?
@@edisuryachandra9661 magnesium glycinate
@@mikkiberger thanks for your prompt reply 👍

Wow. This makes so much sense. Especially how I think to myself… hey, magnesium helped me sleep before, I’ll just take more now… Great video!
Glad it was helpful.
Here is an AI breakdown of the content of this video: the concept of anabolism in relation to sleep and magnesium. Anabolism refers to the phase in which the body is primarily focused on repair, rebuilding, and rest. During sleep, the body enters an anabolic state, where it performs essential functions like tissue repair, cell regeneration, and hormone production.
The text suggests that some individuals may experience an imbalance in their anabolic state, leaning too far towards an anabolic state or being overly catabolic (the phase focused on energy production and tissue breakdown). This imbalance can lead to sleep problems.
In the case of individuals with an anabolic imbalance, the text explains that magnesium supplementation may help by not only elevating mineral levels but also by assisting in shifting the body out of an excessively anabolic state. This shift can help regulate insulin processing and prevent the sudden drop of mineral and glucose levels during sleep, which might trigger the body to wake up.
Conversely, individuals who are already overly catabolic (in an awake phase) might experience difficulties sleeping if they take magnesium, as magnesium is considered a pro-catabolic mineral. In this case, magnesium supplementation could further enhance the catabolic state and disrupt sleep.
Overall, the text emphasizes the importance of understanding one's unique physiology and balancing the body's circadian rhythm. It suggests considering individual imbalances, monitoring the effects of magnesium supplementation, and adjusting the timing and dosage accordingly.
Thank you😊
ah great, thank you.
how did you do this and your RUclips banner profile picture is very interesting. Could you tell me more about it?
Thank you, the study buddy i needed at uni 😊
Thank you. Now I have ideas about improving how I use magnesium. It never occurred to me that I might be taking too much. I know I am after hearing your remarks.
Hope it helps. Here is a video where you can figure out if you're already leaning too far on that cataboic side or not: ruclips.net/video/bhYhU2_LSfM/видео.html

I'm glad I heard this this is important stuff thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
What about magnesium L theroante? What do you suggest? I just started to take them. First one to cross the brain/blood barrier!
Thank you . What I understood , we should take minerals with food in the lunch time and magnesium RIGHT dose in the supper time , and our body system will digest them properly , and bring them to make as alert or to getting a relax at a right time . Before watching this video , I took magnesium with calcium before going to bed for better slip , so you opened my eyes ! Take care of yourself , you deserve it !!!
Don’t take calcium!!!!
Exactly the information that I needed! Will take my magnesium with lunch today. Your channel has the most reliable and in depth information about human physiology and supplementing with vitamins and minerals. Circadian rhythm detail is also very much appreciated!👍
So glad it's been helpful.
Does desalinated water have magnesium??? In which foods can you get magnesium??? How can you avoid losing magnesium???
Tanx
So excited that you are talking about this issue. I told my physician that magnesium was making my insomnia worst.
Pretty cool that you figured that out before you even saw this.
But I thought different magnesium do different things, which is the reason you take certain kind at different times..🤔
So it would make sense to take magnesium before a workout seeing it helps the body stay catabolic? Magnesium taurate?
I so agree about timing for taking magnesium. I always take my vitamins and minerals during the day (morning to early afternoon) before 4 pm in few portions. It seems to work for me. I sleep like a baby.
👍
Welldr i am addicted to your video you are a big help thank you
Happy to hear that!, but not a doctor. :)
i was taking 200mg of magnesium daily before bed and my sleep became very eratic. If i switched to the morning then i felt fatigued all day. i also had a couple of injuries (torn calf muscle, sciatica problem) which i can't help think had something to do with the magnesium as i wasn't having that problem before or after. so i've stopped taking magnesium altogether now.
Yea man I wanna go to freaking bed I’ll just eat some spinach or something lol
I followed your advice last night, and slept for 6 hours straight. I hope it works again and again! You always come up with new and different ways of looking at things! So appreciate!
So glad it helped.
Another great night sleep. I find that I'm sleeping deeper, too. I did feel a little cramping, so I have to remember to take it at lunch and with food.
What part of his advice? Not taking it before bed? I went from taking 375mg + in the last half of the day to 250mg before lunch and slept through the night better than I ever have (sleep tracking on my watch). Intuitively I feel like a lot of sleep issues have to do with hypotension (low blood pressure) more than anything else, but reducing and moving magnesium to the 1st half of the day where cortisol and catabolic state is usually higher, definitely seems to be helping get back to a normal circadian rhythm.
Can't imagine getting 6hts sleep
.I get 2-3hrs. If I'm really, really lucky I pick up another 45-60mins😳
@janice369 it only lasted a little while, so I went back to magnesium around 7pm so it's digested before sleep and 3mg of melatonin. That works the best for me, and I've been getting about 5.5 hours at a stretch. If I get up and drink a cup of weak coffee, I can drift off for a few more hours. Not sure why coffee helps me sleep? I've settled on being happy with this routine.
I take it for muscle spasms,and so far it has helped
Wow, this is so true. I have been taking mag glycinate and ,ag threonate for sleep and it worked for years. I also spread it through the day too. About 6 mos ago I started havign trouble sleeping and waking constantly and felt tired all day. Read that it can cause paradoxical effect and you should take it in the mornign or afternoon and not at night.
Yeah, because it can be so helpful at first in SOME situations, people have a hard time believing it is the magnesium when sleep trouble shows up. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thanks for this. I started taking magnesium a month ago and couldn't figure out why my sleep was so bad - maybe 4-5 hours a night. So I doubled the dosage. Went down to 1-2 hours. Couldn't put it together!
So glad this helped. Sounds like a slam dunk that you're likely already leaning too catabolic. But check out this video about figuring out if there is in fact a circadian rhythm problem or not. That way, you can correct it to make sure it's not causing other trouble. You can find that video here: ruclips.net/video/bhYhU2_LSfM/видео.html

I,m ok with you...if i take magnesium before sleep, its insomnia for the night.I stopped this paractice.
Way to go!
Why some peoples (very few) have the oposite effect after taking magnesium (all types, especially Magnesium bysg or gkycinate) ? Give them anxiety, agitation, panick atacks etc? Why?
If our blood tests show that minerals are in the recommended range, is that good enough or should it be on the high end of the range to have the maximum health benefits?
Blood tests can be very misleading because blood is a compensatory fluid. That means the body will beg barrow and steal from other places to keep the blood in line. You want to go off of blood pressure when deciding if you need more minerals or not. You'll learn how to do that in the free digestion course.
After I watched this video month ago I started taking magnesium at morning instead of night and it helped me out but after I had consultation with famous function medicine and took magnesium at night for one day my sleep was disrupted.
Thank you so much Dr for your advice.

Glad it was helpful. Keep in mind that can be other issues or imbalances that contribute to insomnia as well. This video explains: ruclips.net/video/3A-6QBWMWVw/видео.html
Fair play about the Catabolic nature of Magnesium...But then you must also mention the Balance.
If your active &active job consider the Spectrum to balance minerals and synergistic effect.
Glycine 1000mg
Full spectrum trace mineral liquid
Mag glycinate 200mg
Zinc 10-20mg.
(Sleep Stack)
zinc is pro anabolic so that can be great to take at night with dinner.
so how long does the "catabolic" effect of magnesium last aka. What is the latest you should take it?
I don't know what's right for you, and That can vary greatly from person to person, but we like to see people take it with breakfast and/or lunch in many cases.
I stopped all supplements. Nothing is hellping me sleep. Supplements actually make me worse. I will study your Digesttive course .
Thank you Dr its was such a nice explained video ... My issue is that i was a fat unhealthy guy and nevr had any sleeping issues it only took me 5mins to sleep but when i decided to change my life become fit, started going to the gym thats where all the problems started at first

I tried magnesium , melatonin tablets and powder, everything I didn’t get any results some times panadol nights works with me ,even I tired I can’t sleep easily ,😢

I am low in lithium , magnesium and zinc I was having depression and sleepless nights so I decided to have them all since I started taking my deficient vitamins I am doing very well no depression and feeling happier,but still struggling with falling to sleep
Now I want to buy tryptophan for my sleep instead of sleeping aid which sometimes doesn’t even help me , can I take tryptophan with lithium, thank you for the informative video stay blessed 👍

@Kick It Naturally Haha ok. Good content, by the way. I notice you personally respond to your comments/messages, which is very noble of you considering how time-consuming life is
Yeah, but it's fun too. Things are growing pretty quickly so we'll see how long I can keep up. :)
What time of the day should transdermal magnesium be taken? Morning, too?
Different magnesiums can have different effects in the body, but all forms of magnesium are pro-catabolic.
what would you recommend for people who cant' stay asleep?
It's still about figuring out the underlying cause because it will be different from person to person. this video explains: ruclips.net/video/3A-6QBWMWVw/видео.html
Been dealing with the strangest insomnia for a while now. I train a lot and am an older athlete. It always really seems to hit after a few consecutive days of trianing. I am definitely in a day time state at night body doesn’t want to shut down and I have been taking magnesium at night for quite some time. Definitely time to stop taking all supplements for a while.
did it help ?
I'm done with supplements for awhile also..
Should Mg be taken w/or away from Calcium? Are they cofactors?
With milk
There are several different kinds of magnesium. Does this apply to all of them? Like Glycinate?
I read your book but i didn’t see where you made a distinction between the different types.
Any info is appreciated. 🙏
Glycinate is slightly less pro-catabolic because glycine is pro-anabolic, but all forms of magnesium are still pro-catabolic, even though some can have different effects on the body in other ways.
Thank you, i never understood poeple who take magnesium at night to sleep. When I take it, it gets me right awake as if I took cafeine.
We hear stories like this a lot.
This stuff have been keeping me awake 😖
Hope this info helps.
So how does fermentation work? What does that mean😊

Helps me with restless legs so I've always taken later in the day...night just before bed per se but with dinner around 6pm. Restless legs is a problem at night so not sure taking it early would help that.
Here is our video on restless legs. Might give you insights into why it helps and other steps you can take.
I'm going to take magnesium glycinate in the afternoon now instead of at night. Despite it helping others sleep I tend to stay up. Hopefully the difference in timing helps me. Thanks for the video!

Come back and let us know how it goes.
I started taking Magnesium Glycinate (240mg) at night time about 6 weeks ago, and it has improved my sleep tremendously, but I also wake up feeling super groggy and brain foggy the next day. Should I just be taking it earlier? or a lower dose?
I am going to try it to see if it will help me
If I take it too late, it makes me groggy the next morning. I'm trying to get in the habit of taking it about an hour before bedtime (just an arbitrary amount of time I decided on) rather than taking it immediately before bed. You may want to try that first. Despite his excellent information, I *cannot* take magnesium in the morning or with a meal - I *have* to take it at night because it has such a sedative effect on me.
Not long ago I began taking around the same amount of magnesium glycinate (250 mg) before bed...I have also been taking around the same dose of magnesium malate in the morning. So, 500mg, on top of the 200mg I already get from a 'mineral drops' supplement. I have decided to dial back the doses to about half that amount for now...for 'other reasons'.
As far as sleep though...I was initially taking it just before bed, thinking it would 'make me sleepy'...but now I take it just after dinner (5 or 6 hours before I go to bed) and it doesn't seem to 'make me sleepy' any earlier, but I do sleep just as well. Perhaps taking it earlier in the evening will allow for more restful sleep and then you won't be as groggy in the morning.
Melatonin makes me groggy
I take Magnesium citrate and it causes nightsweat. Can you please make a video and explain why?
Hi Dijana, thanks for the request. It's likely that you're taking it at the wrong time or it could be magnifying an imbalance that you may be dealing with. Here is a video that explains night sweats and that may give you more insights as to why it's creating the issue for you: ruclips.net/video/z1ZR9YiBVbg/видео.html
But you may need to go through our free digestion course to learn how to look at your body chemistry to get an idea of what is really causing it for you. You can find that free course here: kickitnaturally.com/course

So maybe better options would be to add potassium before sleep?
Only if the person is leaning too catabolic. If they are having sleep troubles caused by an anabolic imbalance, postassium would make things much worse. It's about looking at the person. Not the symptom.
What do you think about glycine?
Glycine is pro-anabolic. that is why magnesium glycinate is a little less pro-catabolic, but the magnesium aspect is still pro-catabolic so we prefer to see people take magnesium during the day and glycine at night if they want both nutrients.
Magnesium glycinate made me anxious!
Same here 😭 what brand do u consume? Before bed ?
If I should take lower milligram of magnesium. what milligram I should take
I'm not allowed to give specific advice in video comments.
Magnesium always makes me groggy the next day.
If the body is depleted and u need it, and take it in a balanced fashion, how can appropriate nutrition be harmful, unless its a rare reaction? I mean back in the day when soil and water were naturally abundant in magnesium, were people mysteriously being hurt by it?
Seems like you missed the point.
Is magnesium glicnate ok. I’m in benzo withdrawal.
All magnesium is pro-catabolic.
Magnesium gave me terrible anxious trembling myscle twitches increased stress nonhelp made things 10x worse
HI @Xena Burg, when magnesium makes someone's sleep 10X worse, like I talked about in this video, it's almost always because the person is already too catabolic so the magnesium just magnifies that problem. When I was an insomniac, it was because I was too catabolic too. This video will show you how to figure out if you're leaning too catabolic or not. If that is the problem, and you fix it, you will likely correct the insomnia issue: ruclips.net/video/bhYhU2_LSfM/видео.html
Let us know how it goes.
Is that why magnesium glycinate cause heart Palpitations?
You did not bring up the fact that you need proper proportions of calcium relative to magnesium intake for bone health. With out that balance you can cause major damage to bones and teeth.
Thanks for sharing. this video was not about bone health.
This is true, the ratio shd be 2:1 let say if calcium is 1000mg then the magnesium shd be 500 mg. U can watch Dr. Berg video too, he's very detailed in explaining it..
Is Magnesium L-threonate better for sleep as L-threonate supposedly crosses the blood-brain barrier?
All forms of magnesium are pro-catabolic. We prefer to see people correct the actual underlying cause of the sleep problems like we talk about here: ruclips.net/video/3A-6QBWMWVw/видео.html
Does anyone have a groggy feeling after taking magnesium? Took a little last night feels like I took a Benadryl
Yes!!! Trying to figure out the right dosage and take it during the day. Feel terrible the day after if I take it before bed.
any idea why magnesium can cause brain fog and then kinda this speedy type wired feeling at the same time its a weird one for me hit or miss

Hello. I am interested in taking magnesium but I'm worried as I have seen in Google that it makes breast tissue dense. Can this increase risk of cancer ?Also I'm worried to try any supplements because my aunt had ovarian cancer in her 70s
(I'm interested in trying Mg coz I have symptoms like low energy, trouble sleeping, acne, hair loss , leg stiffness during morning, pms)
Hi @Meghashree Guha, to know if magnesium is right for you or not, you REALLY need to know if you are imbalanced in the anabolic/catabolic area. This video will walk you through how to figure that out: ruclips.net/video/bhYhU2_LSfM/видео.html
Let us know how it goes.
@@KickItNaturally I think I'm the anabolic type
Yeah, you just don't want to go off of symptoms only. You really want to look at your pHs and things we talk about in that video and then you'll have a better idea if magnesium would help. If you really are leaning too far anabolic, magnesium can be a life changer.
If you need help learning how to run the pH tests and such, you can download my book for free and it will walk you through how to do it: You can get it here: kickitnaturally.com/free

@Kick It Naturally okay thank you !
you bet.
The only magnesium that worked for sleep and helped my autoimmune was Pure magnesium citrate powder I take 250- 300 mg for sleep. I take calcium 250 mg at the same time. I sleep really deep. I still find it helps even if I don't take it everyday. I have celiacs and hashimoto's. I suffer constipation. I find magnesium citrate helps my GI work better. I have normal BMs now. I eat a paleo diet and do intermittent fasting couple times a week. I am off all grain and dairy.
That's great, but that doesn't mean that what I talk about in this video is not true for you too. and if you're constipated, this video could help: ruclips.net/video/ALXsIqtqUHQ/видео.html
Wow i didn't know it was harming my catabolic state if i start taking it during lunch will it still help with sleep
it depends on your body chemistry @daniel hdz. Watch this video to figure out if you're already leaning too catabolic or not: ruclips.net/video/bhYhU2_LSfM/видео.html
and then watch this video to understand the possible underlying causes for sleep problems. If you're not addressing your specific cause, it's more likely you could be causing trouble down the road: ruclips.net/video/3A-6QBWMWVw/видео.html
I got concerned about the quality of my sleep after buying a smart watch.
I realized I never got any deep sleep.
I have played around with all sorts of supplements.
So far magnesium and taurine taken an hour before I go to bed gives me better quality sleep .
More deep sleep and more REM Sleep. I can feel the difference.
Are you sure it's taurine? That's what's used in Red Bull and energy drinks to stay awake, I used to take it as a pre-workout before gym, surely can't be good for sleep
@@wargenx I was just as surprised as you are because it is in Red bull. But apparently it is also used as a sleep aid and it works well for me.
Hi i you trying to say when you take magnesium in the day it will help prepare me to sleep at night please explain and could i take it also at night please explain
@@wargenx common misconception. With all the Bull-sh*t Taurus associations people make. The taurine is actually in red bull to calm your system down from all the caffeine in it. You’d be a nervous wreck without the taurine.
@user-kg5ij5ic6b no I do not take it in the day. I take it an hour before I go to bed.
I think I'll take Andrew Hubermans avice and go with the Magnesium Threonate.
works great
Thanks for the knowledge! Can I take magnesium glycinate in the morning for curing insomnia and anxiety? I have hand latent tetany in hot weather and in panic. so I assume I'm magnesium deficient.
Hi Sive, those spasms are often related to a need for more magnesium, but it can be a need for other minerals or a need to stop pulling all the minerals out of where they need to be. But moving your magnesium to the morning is a great first step. You would then want to check your body chemistry to see how much magnesium is appropriate for you, and also if other minerals in general appear to be low. We teach how to do this with simple tools at home in our totally free digestion course found here: kickitnaturally.com/course
Let us know how it goes.
@@KickItNaturally thank you so much! It is very helpful. I understand from your videos the importance of checking body chemistry.
Great. Can't wait to hear how it goes.
@@KickItNaturally yes, I will write how it goes. Thanks!
@@KickItNaturally Hello! So I write the results of my conditions. 6 weeks of magnesium was not enough to stop panic attacks. But it changed hand spasms, instead panic started to come from my shoulders to arms as if cold water flowing and numbness. So it is better feeling than spasms. I added low dose Lexapro medication for a quick solution to attacks by psychiatrist. Magnesium + Lexapro, taking in the morning, solved my insomnia about %50. I will check my body chemistry during this time and hopefully come off the medication after a while. My mother chose to take magnesium at night although I said the opposite, but she didn't feel it is right after weeks, so now she prefers to take in the morning. Magnesium solved my mother's restless leg syndrome quickly. Thank you for your videos. 🙏
But the dr said not to take magnesium with D3. They compete.
For me no matter at what time i take magnesium it would make my sleep so much worse. Do you know anything about thiamine in combination with magnesium? Because that seems to be recommended for those who get side effects from magnesium, I haven't tried it myself yet
Your best bet could be to go through our totally free digestion course because that will walk you through running simple self-tests you can run at home to get an idea of what imbalances can be creating trouble, and what steps would help you correct them. If you're way too catabolic, why would anything that pushes a person way more catabolic be beneficial. So it may be worth seeing where your chemistry is now.

Yes B1 is better..
so who does magnesium work for sleep? if makes you catabolic why does it relax you?
I explain that in this video
@@KickItNaturally i'll have to take ur word for it. time stamp would be nice. plus ur title implys it doesnt work for sleep.
What about magnesium threonate before sleep?
all forms of magnesium have the ability to be pro-catabolic for most people.
Hahahahahhahaa untill Christmas hahaha i can't stop laughing cause that's me
I know! I've been watching you. :) Lol
I get some crazy ass dream taking magnesium right before bed
We hear this from other people too.
Keeps me all night and only just worked it out after years of random insomnia. Which is what led me here.

Now what. I don't know what or whom to believe anymore. False hope always year after year with major insomnia. A real tragedy for anyone living with this

I took citrate I couldn't sleep. I switched to glycinate still couldn't sleep. I'm 50 and on perimenopause. My insomnia is so bad and mag didn't help me at all.
If you paid attention in this video, you should understand why it didn't help you. It makes a lot of people worse, no matter what type of magnesium they are using.
Agree. I just spent all night tossing cause I took Mag Glycinate with dinner. Bad decision. Works better when I take it with breakfast.
Totally!
When you take it with breakfast, does it relax you too much and cause tiredness during the day?
Hi @Ronin, the whole magnesium relaxing thing is sort of a myth. I explain that in more depth here: ruclips.net/video/IBJIaAk8XAQ/видео.html
The funda is have magnesium if you are deficient in it and don't have if you are not deficient.
This is what many people believe. Just turns out not to be true in all circumstances. It's more about looking at the body chemistry. Even if a person is low, magnesium can still cause problems, and even if levels are okay, magnesium can still be beneficial in some circumstances.
I’ve realised since taking magnesium I’ve been falling asleep ok but waking up at 4am and not being able to sleep following this
see our other reply on your other comment.
@@KickItNaturally thanks
I have magnesium in the morning with a meal and I’m still waking up at 4am and I’m almost wide awake and struggle to sleep and I’m so tired, could this be the magnesium?
It could be, but other things can cause this too.

I take Mag glycinate......doesnt seem to help me....at all. I take 400mgs per day, 200mg twice a day, along with my B complex and Vit D. Its only been a week since o started these. And i havent slept good since. I dont know about all this. Though it would help me.
So what about Magnesium Threonate which is the ONLY Mg that crosses blood brain barrier and improves cognitive factors. It works better at night when your brain is going through the brain sweep. 🧠
all magnesium is pro-catabolic
Magnesium does nothing to help my sleep or high blood pressure. Maybe potassium would be better?

and this video can help you understand the most common causes of high blood pressure. But I never use magnesium for sleep or high blood pressure. ruclips.net/video/S9ATxwRMe3U/видео.html
