One of the foremost experts in nutrition is in my profession and I take continuing education hours from him and others. Nutritional biochemistry and physiology are very complex. I grow organic vegetables in mineral-rich soil [from hardwood ashes, compost, etc.], and there's plenty of organically complexed magnesium in the raw kale, etc. that I eat. Many supplements are cheaply made and may not be very absorbable or bioavailable. Strive to eat well; don't just take supplements! That said, some important nutrients you need are not present, or not present in significant quantities in food. Examples are CoQ10, vitamin D3, vitamins K1 and K2.
1. Mag oxide - low quality. For constipation but low bioavailability. 2. Mag Citrate - good general mag. 3. Mag malate -mag + malic acid. Can be stimulating so not at night. 4.Mag l threonate - crosses blood brain barrier. Good for depression, headaches, etc but doesn't increase body mag levels. 1500-2000 mg per day. Higher dose required. 5. Mag glycinate - mag + glycine. Brain benefits. He uses this. A high dose is required of 300-400mg per day. Rleaxing. 6. Mag orotate - not water soluble and won't help with constipation. Expensive. 7. Sucrasomial mag - highly absorbed. He hasnt used it much. Very expensive. He recommends mag glycinate or mag citrate.
When my son was very young, he still wet the bed, and was irritable--even saying the birds singing outside were too loud. Did some research and found these are all syptoms of mag deficiency. Started him on high mag foods and within 24 hrs, he stopped wetting the bed ---and his mood improved. It works FAST--usually within 24 hrs. He only wet the bed one other time-->>when we were on vacation and he had missed his mag for a few days. Can't tell the pediatricians about Magnesium. They don't want to hear it.
Migraines can also be caused by magnesium deficiency and also eating processed foods, chlorinate, fluoridated water. Unfortunately commercial farming soil does not have the magnesium needed. Every yr our soil is depleted more and more nutrition, (minerals & vitamins)
I have these exact same symptoms with every little thing being too loud in the morning now, never had this. It gets better when the day approaches. Im gonna try out some magnesium supplements
Finally, a narrator who gets to the point and gives a list in the description. And has a recommendation. Super video on a much needed supplement for health.
I get magnesium glycinate made at a biocompounding pharmacy....it has changed my life!If I run out I need to use pain killers for chronic pain...what a blessing it has been for me!!♡
Just a quick fyi. Oxalate can cause joint pain and stiffness comes from excess plants, yeast, vitamin C supplementation. For me it was a heavy plant based diet. After I switched carnivore my pain is essentially GONE. See Dr Shawn Baker or Ken Berry or Darren Schmidt for videos.
I have fibromyalgia and constant pain. I'm definitely going to try the magnesium glycinate and see if it helps me, if it does I will owe you a hugh thank you for posting your story.
I take NTI's Magneisum Glycinate before I got to bed and it has improved my sleep. I consistently nod off quickly and have a deep sleep. I can't live without it.
I think magnesium glycinate is great for most people but I’ve had to temporarily switch to magnesium citrate as I’ve been dealing with an oxalate issue. Since I’ve had nutritional deficiencies in vitamin b6 and b1 my body converts glycinate supplements into extra oxalate in my body :( thankfully citrate is helpful for breaking down oxalate stones! Just something to be aware of
Magnesium binds with oxalate, making oxalate less likely to bind with calcium and form a kidney stone! What is this? Magnesium can bind with oxalate both in the intestine and in urine; both are a good thing!
I did research years ago and started using Mg Glycinate when I had a traumatic loss in my family (a suicide of a sibling that came out of left field and was devastating. None of us knew what was happening in their life) and I developed a sleeping problem. I also suffered from general anxiety, prior to this and I found it helped greatly with that, also. I also have a Mg spray that helps with my feet. I always get that cramp in my toe, which is horrible. I am sure many know what I am talking about. I wasn't eating right or drinking enough water, I was a mess. I was going through life like a zombie, I was so shocked by what happened. Mg has helped me greatly in my life. All back together now. Functioning well as a wife and mother. I was a disaster for about 2 months with no sleep. I knew I needed help and when the doctor wanted me to take Ambien or Xanax, I knew I had to find a healthy alternative.
@@shenazmemon6633 I am not a medical professional and and not giving you medical advice. I will only say what works for me. I purchase Doctor's Best High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Lysinate, 100% Chelated, Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten & Soy Free, 100 mg, 240 Count. It works for me. I have never taken more than 2, but when my husband was having issues, he asked his doctor about it and he said he could take up to 4. Start low and if it is not working, take another. For reference, I am 135 lbs and my husband is over 200. Do not use other forms of magnesium, some can cause loose stool, like Mg Citrate. Just think what milk of magnesia is for! This is a different form of magnesium. Also be careful not to unbalance all of your electrolytes with use. Your electrolytes are potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium, so you have to consider that. I do know a bit about it when I suffered C. Diff and I got dizzy and crazy until a nephrologist checked my electrolytes and was shocked I was alive because they were so low. You need potassium for your heart to beat. You have to be VERY careful about potassium supplementation, too high or low can be very dangerous, so don't mess with that. Not medical advice!!!! Just anecdotal experience. I have no medical credentials. I am a high school English teacher. Try at your own risk.
I need something just for sleep please and any other benefit it may bring except poop ! Also, has anyone's family doctor told them they shouldn't take magnesium if taking certain pharmaceutical drugs ? I felt nauseous with stomach and chest discomfort and she said it was from the magnesium 😮
Been uptight for two months cause of nerves and anxiety are out of control try the 90 mg Magnesium glycinate and saw results in 2 days. Awesome!! Thank you to all the youtube doctors health people that treated me ❤
Good informtion in a concise format--- very much appreciated. * Display the name of each Mg compound during its discussion. Misspelling plagues the internet.
1. m oxide AVOID (cheap and low quality) 2. m citrate (laxative properties drawing in water) most excreted 3. m malate (ideal for whole body magnesium but stimulating- not before bed) 4. m l-threonate9 best for cognitive issues, but not for total body and excreted easily) 5. m glycinate (his favorite) 6. m orotate (might help with energy in cells but expensive maybe for athletes) 7. sucrasomial good absorption also $$$
I currently take Q-nol magnesium glycinate. My chiropractor suggested it for the night leg cramps. I did not get as much relief as I want and having to take it two hours after anything else, is prohibitive. I am not as faithful with it the past two months as I had been. If I can find the last one I may try that as I have thyroid, blood glucose, hypertension and depression issues all combined to deal with in addition to the night leg cramps. Thanks.
I was a bit guarded at first. But then I realized right away his education on magnesium!! This guy knows his stuff. Smart man and great vid. Utilize this info everyone.
As a homecare RN for manny years I found Mag Oxide was the one doctors recommended for their patients. I would talk to them about the different forms of magnesium and recommend mag glycinate as being the most effectively absorbed.
except, most physicians know nothing about such things, only if big Pharma says so. we have to do extensive homework, just view all the controversy here.
I'm currently a home health OT after having to close my private practice specializing in neurological disorders. Since most MDs are ALLOPATHIC, they know very little about true nutrition and supplements. They are indoctrinated by big pharma and instead of being open to learning more about FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE, they reject it and discredit true healthcare practitioners. I used to get patients referred to me with tremors, which they thought might be Parkinson's or some NOS condition but never thought about trying magnesium. Some patients had tremors after years of taking gabapentin. My goal is to become certified in functional medicine, but at 60, that is an expensive credential for a low ROI. In the meantime, knowledge is rewarding. ☺️

Cannot understand why you haven’t covered magnesium Taurate which has changed my life, I had terrible PAC’s the cardiologist couldn’t do anything but give me beta blockers, but magnesium taurate stopped them within a week, it also reduce my blood pressure significantly!! It’s the best of the lot!!
100% agree… I was taking atenolol for years for high pulse rate, I completely agree that magnesium taurate is a complete game changer and I’ve been on it for two years now and it is definitely a miracle. It Not only lowered blood pressure but it brought down my pulse rate and I sleep amazing when I take it right before bed. 👍
I love how Thorough this Doctor's explanation was about all the different magnesiums. I know which one I want to try now. Everything is not for everybody. It makes perfect sense. Thank you so much this video was very informative and helpful 😊 👍🏾❤️
I just started taking Magnesium Lysinate Glycinate (200mg) right after working out. Whatever muscles group I worked out that day within 30 minutes to an hour if I accidentally tensed my muscles it would extremely cramped . Now that I take the magnesium it helped prevent it. It's a miracle!
This has been the best video I have seen on magnesium. I’ve been using myself as a guinea pig for all the wrong types of magnesiums. Just found another one online, which I’m hoping is the right one to take. Magnesium glycinate, low-dose zinc Although I have to take three tabs a day. Not happy about that. I would rather take just one tab a day. Three tabs is equal to 275 mg of magnesium bisglycinate. It also contains a small amount of zinc 8 mg which I’m already taking 15 mg of bio-zinc. Which contains 20 mg of B6.
Magnesium citrate worked great for me. I collapsed with covid and had bad pain tried paracetamol no good at all. But went to local health store was advised MC and it worked so well. I only take one every other day. 💙🥀
You are amazing! I've listened to this video several times and sharing with family. Your videos have been the most informative I've watched related to thyroid issues and I can't thank you enough for the information you share with the world!
Your discussion of mag' L-threonate is what I was hoping for. I wanted to know if it was worth it's priceless. As to it's unlikeliness to raise total body levels, what about taking both the L-threonate and the glycinate form together ? ! The late Dr. Bob Marshall, founder of Quantum Nutrition Labs, was a HUGE fan of mag'glycinate.
@@reccocon3442 Dr. Marshall mostly died due to his stubbornness! Briefly, he went out to his dentist in California to get a lot of work done...the dentist declined to proceed 'cause the Dr. wanted work done on all four quadrants on the same day. The problem this presented is that it would've required a dangerously high quantity of anaesthetic ! Dr. Marshall found an alternative dentist to do the work... returning to Austin I'll.... his wife (a Dr also) tried to nurse him back to health but the excess quantity of anaesthetic traveled to his brain and killed him ! !
@@allenfuller6522 I wonder if the anaesthetic was Epinephrine!! I just had a reaction to it, it shot my BP up to 170/114, the dentist told me I had high BP and to go to my Dr and get on some drugs. NO THANKS!! It was the EPINEPHRINE that spiked my BP!! I did see my Dr for several reasons and my BP was within normal range... be careful out there, even at the DENTIST OFFICE!!
@@allenfuller6522 That's a strange story. My understanding is that too much anaesthetic is that it either kills you or it doesn't, have never heard of it killing you later! However i am not an expert.
Thank you so much. Suffering this last year from migraines which has never been a problem problem for me before. I also get a lot of cramp. I guess I need magnesium. This info is gold to me ❤️
@@sooobyrooo5763 when i bought calm on amazon it said magnesium citrate but when looked at information on the back it said magnesium carbonate.. are they the same??? so confused right now..
Very useful and easy to follow presentation, Doctor. We thank you. btw, the glycinate formulation is widely available from many providers at very reasonable price.
Thank you for differentiating MG! I’ve been taking Mg Glycinate 350mg with Black pepper a day(nonGmo) for 4 months for leg muscle cramps at night. It’s not completely goes away, but I’m glad to know that this is better choice than other. I take Soralay brand and also Now ordering from Amazon. Thanks!👍
Thank you for the information. It would be very helpful to be able to see the forms of magnesium printed on the screen so we could write it down. Thanks
very disappointed that you did not talk about magnesium chloride, which is what I take. In fact I don't really hear about it in any of these doctor videos. why is it excluded?
MgCl is most probably not mentioned because it is freely available in Nature , Since it cannot be COPYRIGHTED , there’s NO MONEY to be made ..!!! Self explanatory Big Reason why it’s kept low key & in the background
I was using the oxide and felt no difference. When I started the citrate, I started feeling much better almost instantly. I was feeling dehydrated when I was using oxide, but the citrate helped me a lot better.
The magnesium salt of carbonic acid. I use it inform of tablets together with citric acid, so it dissolves easily and gives a kind of sparkling drink. the final result is magnesium citrate. And it is not expensive.@@marypatton1122
I like taking a foot bath once or twice a week with magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts) or magnesium chloride. They have a calming effect and can raise magnesium levels in the blood transdermally. They also help with aches and pains. I take magnesium citrate orally because I can buy it cheaply in bulk and is the only kind I can afford thanks to the cost of living crisis, even though it is not as easy on the gut as more expensive versions.
I use a combo...mostly mg glycinate and 200 mg mg citrate. Glycinate didnt relieve constipation but citrate does. The 2 forms taken together seems ideal!
Hi doctor, I'm diabetic and I guess the "magnesium malate" seems to be the one for sleep I think, but you said not to take at night. There's too many of them to keep track, but I just want to get 7 to 8 hours a night, because it takes me a good while,to fall asleep and stay asleep. I really appreciate all the information you provide. Thank you so much! 🥰🤗
I use a small transister radio set so static is all I hear. It is "white noise" that helps my brain "turn off", allowing me to get to sleep. There are apps that provide sounds for the same sleep result. I didn't have any sleep problems until I passed 60 years old. I'm 72 and I don't try to sleep without the static noise going. I'm willing to try the different magnesiums to see if any make a difference. Stay tuned.
Great video. Thanks for breaking down the different types of magnesium. Question, what are your thoughts on magnesium chloride? It's a liquid magnesium that I am currently using. Thanks, Jeff
My Dr prescribed Mag64 Magnesium Chloride because my levels were low. I’ve been taking it for approximately a year. I’m interested in thoughts on it’s efficacy.
Great video, but it would be also great to have your take on the link between glycine and cancer. For instance, it seems to affect prostate cancer probability; and, like serine, it is used a lot by cancer cells.
When I began to take Magnesium, I didn’t know there were so many varieties so I purchased what I saw at the local Box Store. It is Magnesium Oxide, and for me, it works very well. The cramps and spasms disappeared, and my sleep improved immediately. Most importantly, my blood pressure improved dramatically and I no longer take the pharmaceuticals. Magnesium Oxide is what I will continue to use because it has been very effective.
Hey! I take Mag Ox for bowel 'continuity' 😊 but its a bit hard on my weak digestive system so I do intermittent Mag Citrate. It's no one size fits all...that's for sure!
I was taking 3 different magnesium supplements and ended up with ectopic heartbeats and weak muscles so just be careful folks, I was in the emergency twice and doctors at neither offered it as a possible reason, I stopped taking them and after 2 days the ectopics stopped(they were so bad I nearly passed out).
Well, that happens when one thinks pills of all sorts are a replacement for a more healthy lifestyle. 3 different supplements of this, 5 of something else, then some others just in case... humans are awesome.
Excellent presentation, thorough and yet clear and comprehensive! Thank you! In case of multiple symptoms (physical and cognitive), is it recommended to take both Magnesium Glycinate and L-Threonate?
Would you comment on Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil, mined as magnesium chloride and used as a topical spray? I have used this for years now. Thanks for your fine presentation.
Hi Thomas, this is what I use on and off, need to get back on a regular schedule with it. makes me itch a bit but it does make a difference in energy and sleeping. I also started taking magnesium malate everyday, keeps the gout away! 🙂
hi there, thank you very much for putting this video for us. I've seen some of such and similar videos, but I cannot find anyone talking about Magnesium pidolate which I use and its considered by far the best. Can I bother you to give me your opinion on this one if there is any? Thank you
Thank Doc, you just straightened out why My magnesium orotate is not good for sleep. I use it now in the daytime and it works beautifully. Glycinate is on My list for an evening dose, (on the low side). I look forward to trying your protein powder
Hi Dr! Thanks for such an informative video. Is the magnesium glycinate safe to be taken long term for constipation? I heard that the magnesium citrate is bad for the long term as it causes dependency. I also would like to help with my anxiety. So I am thinking to take the magnesium glycinate daily! Thanks!
Since 2013 I've used Mg Taurate, because it was recommended for heart health. It cured my arrhythmia issues, and I got me off Metoprolol (beta-blocker) to my doctor's amazement. Why isn't it mentioned in this vid? 🤔
I have had chronic migraines for about 25 years. I started taking magnesium malate powder on the recommendation of another Doctor, but I didn't realize that it was not advisable to take it before bed or that it was probably not the best way to increase total body magnesium. On your advice I just purchased a tub of powdered Magnesium Glycinate with which I plan to experiment (I use powder based on the believe that it is more easily absorbed). I am 67 years old, pretty healthy and active but I also will try anything that decreases inflammation and increases cognitive ability. I lift weights 3 times weekly and I also take creatine plus a variety of other supplements (most, like fish oil, vitamin D, a multivitamin, etc are recommended for people my age).
@@user-zr6pl6nb6z Hostile little feller aren't you? Calm down, buddy. Maybe take some Magnesium Malate, I hear its best for total body magnesium levels.
@@williamdejeffrio9701 I figured you for a fool, so thanks for confirming. Rather than admit your error, you deflect. Oh, and I find those online who call others "little" are little below the waistline. Goodnight Sweetcheeks.
An excellent exposition, Doc. Thank you. There is another form you might wish to review at a later date - Magnesium Phosphate (Pentahydrate), which seems to be very common as a supplement, at least here in the UK.
I've read that much intaken Magnesia-Phosphat's can long term destroy the bone's... but I'm not sure... so maybe someone in this community can strengthen my supposition???
I use a transdermal Zechstein magnesium chloride oil called Derma Mag. I suffer from a heart arrhythmia that is greatly helped by this form of magnesium. It also helps with the muscle spasms from fibromyalgia.
I use magnesium oil (magnesium chloride) transdermally (apply directly to the skin) daily for restless legs, pain from venous insufficiency and old traumatic injury pain. I put pure magnesium flakes in my bath for whole body absorption. I have taken oral magnesium in the past, but now think transdermal is the best and most efficient method for instant relief from muscle pain and disfunction. No need to wait for pain relief for months as you build up mag levels and it reduces the load of work on kidneys and liver. None of these "specialists" talk about transdermal mag! My restless leg syndrome is solved immediately...I put mag oil on my lower legs almost every night and no more restless legs or having to jump out of bed from sleep to stop extreme muscle spasm from venous insufficiency. My skin is much better as well.
I just bought "7 minerals 'pure Magnesium Oil' made from "100% Magnesium Chloride"......before I saw your article. I didn't see that on your list - can you comment on what this might be? Thanks!
I like using those magnesium citrate drinks to help me when I travel. I don't get any cramping, etc, and no OMG rushing to the bathroom incidents. It's very gentle for me.
Didn't a study just come out that links high glycine levels to depression? Makes sense to me. I was taking 400 mg of Magnesium Glycinate and after about a week I had to stop because I felt sluggish and depressed. A few days after stopping I felt fine again. I switched to MagThreonate instead.
THANK YOU...I chose Magnesium Glycinate due to my research a few years ago. So glad for the added confidence that we are taking the best form. Doctors are SO busy theses days, I do a lot of my own research, and save more pressing matters for them! My husband's memory is becoming unreliable. We have an appointment to see a neurologist, since the recent visit with his MD. I am a bit afraid, but trying to stay positive. I have tried different nootropics, and brain enhancers. I wonder if you could discuss the components in these preparations, rather than the brand's themselves. The ones I was searching for were PS, the long term that professionals have shortened. Also Bacopa, Huperzine,GABA, L-Theanine, and Cholene. I'm hoping that the neurologist will prescribe something with these latest ingredients, but so many others are in these products, it would be good to have other professionals opinions. I look at health issues as a square, in that there is more than one side in these issues. Plus, each blend has a period of time to truly get to the issue. It is a mind boggling situation, pardon the pun. Thank you for the video.
Worth trying him on b12. Get his level checked on blood work before starting. B12 can cause dementia/memory issues. I've heard some people have success with coconut oil as the fat helps the brain
@@Miss_Millie_ Thanks for the b12 info...GOOD to know, and you are right about coconut oil...I think I was trying to get him to do MTC oil, awhile back.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention magnesium taurate. Pradip Jamnandas ( heart specialist etc.) recommends it and I take his word as gospel. I thought that would be the first and most important one to discuss.
What’s the best time of day to take creatine for someone with a moderately active lifestyle but not a heavy weight lifter? Is it better to take with a meal or on an empty stomach? Thanks in advance for any replies/answers.

Another great video,clear and easy to understand regarding the different classes of magnesium. Thank you Dr. Child I look for your daily videos.❤️
Much appreciated Dr. Childs. - I would like to know, what dosage should I take / use & when of - L - threonate? - T.Y.
Been uptight for two months cause of nerves and anxiety are out of control try the 90 mg Magnesium glycinate and saw results in 2 days. Awesome!! Thank you to all the youtube doctors health people that treated me ❤
Good informtion in a concise format--- very much appreciated.
* Display the name of each Mg compound during its discussion. Misspelling plagues the internet.
1. m oxide AVOID (cheap and low quality) 2. m citrate (laxative properties drawing in water) most excreted 3. m malate (ideal for whole body magnesium but stimulating- not before bed) 4. m l-threonate9 best for cognitive issues, but not for total body and excreted easily) 5. m glycinate (his favorite) 6. m orotate (might help with energy in cells but expensive maybe for athletes) 7. sucrasomial good absorption also $$$
Thank you
Thank you!
Celtic sea salt has 3 forms of magnesium
I currently take Q-nol magnesium glycinate. My chiropractor suggested it for the night leg cramps. I did not get as much relief as I want and having to take it two hours after anything else, is prohibitive. I am not as faithful with it the past two months as I had been. If I can find the last one I may try that as I have thyroid, blood glucose, hypertension and depression issues all combined to deal with in addition to the night leg cramps. Thanks.

Solves problem and no need to buy expensive supplements
I was a bit guarded at first. But then I realized right away his education on magnesium!! This guy knows his stuff. Smart man and great vid. Utilize this info everyone.
As a homecare RN for manny years I found Mag Oxide was the one doctors recommended for their patients. I would talk to them about the different forms of magnesium and recommend mag glycinate as being the most effectively absorbed.
YES TO MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE
except, most physicians know nothing about such things, only if big Pharma says so. we have to do extensive homework, just view all the controversy here.
I'm currently a home health OT after having to close my private practice specializing in neurological disorders. Since most MDs are ALLOPATHIC, they know very little about true nutrition and supplements. They are indoctrinated by big pharma and instead of being open to learning more about FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE, they reject it and discredit true healthcare practitioners. I used to get patients referred to me with tremors, which they thought might be Parkinson's or some NOS condition but never thought about trying magnesium. Some patients had tremors after years of taking gabapentin. My goal is to become certified in functional medicine, but at 60, that is an expensive credential for a low ROI. In the meantime, knowledge is rewarding. ☺️

Cannot understand why you haven’t covered magnesium Taurate which has changed my life, I had terrible PAC’s the cardiologist couldn’t do anything but give me beta blockers, but magnesium taurate stopped them within a week, it also reduce my blood pressure significantly!! It’s the best of the lot!!
I have SVT so looking for something that will help. 😢 Don't want to stay on Beta Blockers forever...looking like only solution is an Ablation.
100% agree… I was taking atenolol for years for high pulse rate, I completely agree that magnesium taurate is a complete game changer and I’ve been on it for two years now and it is definitely a miracle. It Not only lowered blood pressure but it brought down my pulse rate and I sleep amazing when I take it right before bed. 👍
I also did not heat him cover magnesium phosphate. Let me know if I am wrong. I don't hear too well and don't understand the big words sometimes.
I use it too. Absolutely game changer
Please, could you share the brand you have used?
You are a man of the people…a real doctor. Thank you!
I love how Thorough this Doctor's explanation was about all the different magnesiums. I know which one I want to try now. Everything is not for everybody. It makes perfect sense. Thank you so much this video was very informative and helpful 😊 👍🏾❤️
This information is EXACTLY what I have needed and been looking for. Great video. 9:46
I just started taking Magnesium Lysinate Glycinate (200mg) right after working out. Whatever muscles group I worked out that day within 30 minutes to an hour if I accidentally tensed my muscles it would extremely cramped . Now that I take the magnesium it helped prevent it. It's a miracle!
Sounds like you might have been deficient in magnesium, cause cramps. Being deficient in potassium can cause cramping also!
@@wiz4020 Xtend-life gas Magnesium with potassium in good proportion
I’m taking 800mg at nite
This has been the best video I have seen on magnesium. I’ve been using myself as a guinea pig for all the wrong types of magnesiums. Just found another one online, which I’m hoping is the right one to take. Magnesium glycinate, low-dose zinc Although I have to take three tabs a day. Not happy about that. I would rather take just one tab a day. Three tabs is equal to 275 mg of magnesium bisglycinate. It also contains a small amount of zinc 8 mg which I’m already taking 15 mg of bio-zinc. Which contains 20 mg of B6.
Thanks!
Magnesium citrate worked great for me. I collapsed with covid and had bad pain tried paracetamol no good at all. But went to local health store was advised MC and it worked so well. I only take one every other day. 💙🥀
You are amazing! I've listened to this video several times and sharing with family. Your videos have been the most informative I've watched related to thyroid issues and I can't thank you enough for the information you share with the world!
Your discussion of mag' L-threonate is what I was hoping for. I wanted to know if it was worth it's priceless. As to it's unlikeliness to raise total body levels, what about taking both the L-threonate and the glycinate form together ? !
The late Dr. Bob Marshall, founder of Quantum Nutrition Labs, was a HUGE fan of mag'glycinate.
Did not know he passed😢. Hope it wasn't a suspicious...
@@reccocon3442 Dr. Marshall mostly died due to his stubbornness! Briefly, he went out to his dentist in California to get a lot of work done...the dentist declined to proceed 'cause the Dr. wanted work done on all four quadrants on the same day. The problem this presented is that it would've required a dangerously high quantity of anaesthetic ! Dr. Marshall found an alternative dentist to do the work... returning to Austin I'll.... his wife (a Dr also) tried to nurse him back to health but the excess quantity of anaesthetic traveled to his brain and killed him ! !
@@allenfuller6522 Fishy.
God bless his soul.
@@allenfuller6522 I wonder if the anaesthetic was Epinephrine!!
I just had a reaction to it, it shot my BP up to 170/114, the dentist told me I had high BP and to go to my Dr and get on some drugs. NO THANKS!!
It was the EPINEPHRINE that spiked my BP!! I did see my Dr for several reasons and my BP was within normal range... be careful out there, even at the DENTIST OFFICE!!
@@allenfuller6522 That's a strange story. My understanding is that too much anaesthetic is that it either kills you or it doesn't, have never heard of it killing you later! However i am not an expert.
Finally a doc that explains how to use each one excellent
very enriching info on magnesium.thank you for sharing Doc
Thank you so much. Suffering this last year from migraines which has never been a problem problem for me before. I also get a lot of cramp.
I guess I need magnesium. This info is gold to me ❤️
I am surprised you don’t mention magnesium carbonate. Otherwise, this was a well organized and helpful presentation. Thanks.
Ya especially since it is in "calm" from Natural Vitality which I have been enjoying for years with good results.
Hi Carol I too use magnesium carbonate, citric acid?
@@sooobyrooo5763 when i bought calm on amazon it said magnesium citrate but when looked at information on the back it said magnesium carbonate.. are they the same??? so confused right now..
@@lindaparker1043 yeah those aren't the same, I've only seen carbonate, and if Amazon is saying that it's citrate that's a boo-boo.
@@lindaparker1043calm also contains citric acid listed as other ingredients. It will react with mg carbonate to form mg citrate.
Thank you so much for explaining the difference in magnesium! Super helpful video! Love&Light from California 🤍🤍
Very useful and easy to follow presentation, Doctor. We thank you. btw, the glycinate formulation is widely available from many providers at very reasonable price.
❤❤ thanks for your ideas and lessons learned... greetings from Roermond in the Netherlands 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
The best explanation I ever heard. Thank you.
Thank you for differentiating MG! I’ve been taking Mg Glycinate 350mg with Black pepper a day(nonGmo) for 4 months for leg muscle cramps at night. It’s not completely goes away, but I’m glad to know that this is better choice than other. I take Soralay brand and also Now ordering from Amazon. Thanks!👍
This is the best lecture I have seen on magnesium. Should magnesium L3 and 8 be taken for epilepsy?
Thank you for the information. It would be very helpful to be able to see the forms of magnesium printed on the screen so we could write it down. Thanks
very disappointed that you did not talk about magnesium chloride, which is what I take. In fact I don't really hear about it in any of these doctor videos. why is it excluded?
Yes! Good question! been taking mag chlor for years, 20 drops daily.
MgCl is most probably not mentioned because it is freely available in Nature ,
Since it cannot be COPYRIGHTED , there’s NO MONEY to be made ..!!! Self explanatory Big Reason why it’s kept low key & in the background
I was using the oxide and felt no difference. When I started the citrate, I started feeling much better almost instantly. I was feeling dehydrated when I was using oxide, but the citrate helped me a lot better.
What is magnesium carbonate?
Yes what about Mag. Aspartate?
The magnesium salt of carbonic acid. I use it inform of tablets together with citric acid, so it dissolves easily and gives a kind of sparkling drink. the final result is magnesium citrate. And it is not expensive.@@marypatton1122
@@marypatton1122it's magnesium citrate without the citrate acid
Very informative, easy to understand, very helpful.
I use magnesium citrate and I'm happy with it 💜
This is such a great video! Knowledge is power
We now know all magnesium is not the same. This video was helpful in evaluating which products to toss out for good.
Thanks. Good to summarize the presentation in a table, though.
I didn't watch the video but subscribed thanks to comment outlining the video. Reading is underrated these days, maybe I should get back into that
I like taking a foot bath once or twice a week with magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts) or magnesium chloride. They have a calming effect and can raise magnesium levels in the blood transdermally. They also help with aches and pains. I take magnesium citrate orally because I can buy it cheaply in bulk and is the only kind I can afford thanks to the cost of living crisis, even though it is not as easy on the gut as more expensive versions.
I use a combo...mostly mg glycinate and 200 mg mg citrate. Glycinate didnt relieve constipation but citrate does. The 2 forms taken together seems ideal!
Thx I was wondering about a combo.
So it's safe to mix them?
Best description I've found so far. Thanks!
Glycinate is best for me. Very calming and helps me sleep. ❤
Hi doctor, I'm diabetic and I guess the "magnesium malate" seems to be the one for sleep I think, but you said not to take at night. There's too many of them to keep track, but I just want to get 7 to 8 hours a night, because it takes me a good while,to fall asleep and stay asleep. I really appreciate all the information you provide. Thank you so much! 🥰🤗
Yeah, he doesn't talk about which one is best for insomnia. 🤬🤦
No the one for sleep is Threonate not malate which is good for pain etc
I use a small transister radio set so static is all I hear. It is "white noise" that helps my brain "turn off", allowing me to get to sleep. There are apps that provide sounds for the same sleep result. I didn't have any sleep problems until I passed 60 years old. I'm 72 and I don't try to sleep without the static noise going. I'm willing to try the different magnesiums to see if any make a difference. Stay tuned.
Glycinate for sleep, Taurate for diabetes
@@Asiansxsymbolglycinate is best
What's the differences between magnesium glycinate, bisglycinate, and lycinate glycinate?
❤ Great video, Ty
So what about magnesium flakes instead of capsules tablets?
I have heard ingesting this works so much better ??
Great video. Thanks for breaking down the different types of magnesium. Question, what are your thoughts on magnesium chloride? It's a liquid magnesium that I am currently using. Thanks, Jeff
Me too magnesium miracle she wrote the book on magnesium
My Dr prescribed Mag64 Magnesium Chloride because my levels were low. I’ve been taking it for approximately a year. I’m interested in thoughts on it’s efficacy.
Interesting.You're the first YT doctor I've seen who downplays threonate in favor of other magnesium forms.
Great video. I would have loved to heard mention of Mg Taurate or the use of Mg “oil” as well.
Great video, but it would be also great to have your take on the link between glycine and cancer. For instance, it seems to affect prostate cancer probability; and, like serine, it is used a lot by cancer cells.
When I began to take Magnesium, I didn’t know there were so many varieties so I purchased what I saw at the local Box Store. It is Magnesium Oxide, and for me, it works very well.
The cramps and spasms disappeared, and my sleep improved immediately.
Most importantly, my blood pressure improved dramatically and I no longer take the pharmaceuticals.
Magnesium Oxide is what I will continue to use because it has been very effective.
Hey! I take Mag Ox for bowel 'continuity' 😊 but its a bit hard on my weak digestive system so I do intermittent Mag Citrate. It's no one size fits all...that's for sure!
I’ve tried almost all forms, oxide works the best for me too
What about Mag Orate
@@buck7477 Once I had this but the Taste is awful if chewed.
Really I have back pain would that kind for work
Magnesium deficiency can mimic symptoms of anxiety and depression. Definitely something to keep in mind cause it's hard to tell
What about Magnesium chloride
Thankyou for a very informative video. 🙏
I was taking 3 different magnesium supplements and ended up with ectopic heartbeats and weak muscles so just be careful folks, I was in the emergency twice and doctors at neither offered it as a possible reason, I stopped taking them and after 2 days the ectopics stopped(they were so bad I nearly passed out).
How did you end up taking 3
First i've ever heard, possibly you took so much that you unbalanced your potassium levels? Like way too much?
Well, that happens when one thinks pills of all sorts are a replacement for a more healthy lifestyle.
3 different supplements of this, 5 of something else, then some others just in case... humans are awesome.
I have fibromyalgia and tendonitis, I was trying to help myself.@@guruware8612
Excellent presentation, thorough and yet clear and comprehensive! Thank you!
In case of multiple symptoms (physical and cognitive), is it recommended to take both Magnesium Glycinate and L-Threonate?
Magnesium Oxide has an iffy reputation, but if studied in depth it begins to look much more interesting.....
Would you comment on Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil, mined as magnesium chloride and used as a topical spray? I have used this for years now. Thanks for your fine presentation.
Hi Thomas, this is what I use on and off, need to get back on a regular schedule with it. makes me itch a bit but it does make a difference in energy and sleeping. I also started taking magnesium malate everyday, keeps the gout away! 🙂
Thanks so much for this information. Can I combine and intake few of the magnesium types?
Yes, you can.
hi there, thank you very much for putting this video for us. I've seen some of such and similar videos, but I cannot find anyone talking about Magnesium pidolate which I use and its considered by far the best. Can I bother you to give me your opinion on this one if there is any? Thank you
Magnesium taurate- calming, sedative, great for the heart.
I appreciate your effort in putting this together!
Ocean water also excellent source 😊 a day at the beach is so relaxing 😎
Thank Doc, you just straightened out why My magnesium orotate is not good for sleep. I use it now in the daytime and it works beautifully. Glycinate is on My list for an evening dose, (on the low side). I look forward to trying your protein powder
Which are the best for body energy and mood?
Hi Dr! Thanks for such an informative video. Is the magnesium glycinate safe to be taken long term for constipation? I heard that the magnesium citrate is bad for the long term as it causes dependency.
I also would like to help with my anxiety. So I am thinking to take the magnesium glycinate daily! Thanks!
Since 2013 I've used Mg Taurate, because it was recommended for heart health. It cured my arrhythmia issues, and I got me off Metoprolol (beta-blocker) to my doctor's amazement.
Why isn't it mentioned in this vid? 🤔
No video is comprehensive. All are confusing.
Ok. Great information. However, which form of magnesium is best for my calf cramps at night?
I have had chronic migraines for about 25 years. I started taking magnesium malate powder on the recommendation of another Doctor, but I didn't realize that it was not advisable to take it before bed or that it was probably not the best way to increase total body magnesium. On your advice I just purchased a tub of powdered Magnesium Glycinate with which I plan to experiment (I use powder based on the believe that it is more easily absorbed). I am 67 years old, pretty healthy and active but I also will try anything that decreases inflammation and increases cognitive ability. I lift weights 3 times weekly and I also take creatine plus a variety of other supplements (most, like fish oil, vitamin D, a multivitamin, etc are recommended for people my age).
He just said in the video that magnesium malate IS the best for increasing total body magnesium levels, so what the hell are you talking about?
@@user-zr6pl6nb6z Hostile little feller aren't you? Calm down, buddy. Maybe take some Magnesium Malate, I hear its best for total body magnesium levels.
@@williamdejeffrio9701 I figured you for a fool, so thanks for confirming. Rather than admit your error, you deflect.
Oh, and I find those online who call others "little" are little below the waistline. Goodnight Sweetcheeks.
@@williamdejeffrio9701 lol zr6 is a nasty piece of work!! Must be time of the month or sommat. 🤨
An excellent exposition, Doc. Thank you. There is another form you might wish to review at a later date - Magnesium Phosphate (Pentahydrate), which seems to be very common as a supplement, at least here in the UK.
What about these mixed magnesium capsule😮s mine say Tri complex. Maybe you could review these in the future. Thank you doctor.
And Magnesium Taurate? I have a Mg supplement with m. L-threonate / m. glucinate / m. taurate mixed.
I've read that much intaken Magnesia-Phosphat's can long term destroy the bone's... but I'm not sure... so maybe someone in this community can strengthen my supposition???
Thanks for the video! Any suggestions on which brand or brands are more reputable?
I always have vegavero supplements. Expensive but good and not full of rubbish.
Which one is better for the heart?
I use a transdermal Zechstein magnesium chloride oil called Derma Mag. I suffer from a heart arrhythmia that is greatly helped by this form of magnesium. It also helps with the muscle spasms from fibromyalgia.
Thanks. You missed Magnesium Taurate, though
Works well for the heart.
Doctors orders, for me
Thank you, Dr. Childs. Your wisdom regarding adding Magnesium to one's daily routine has helped me so much!
Thank you for your video. I would also like to know what you think about "Magnesium Oil" (Mg Choloride).
i have read people put magnesium oil on their feet before bed and when they wake up. great benefits
Good to know this😮
Thank you doctor!
I use magnesium oil (magnesium chloride) transdermally (apply directly to the skin) daily for restless legs, pain from venous insufficiency and old traumatic injury pain. I put pure magnesium flakes in my bath for whole body absorption. I have taken oral magnesium in the past, but now think transdermal is the best and most efficient method for instant relief from muscle pain and disfunction. No need to wait for pain relief for months as you build up mag levels and it reduces the load of work on kidneys and liver. None of these "specialists" talk about transdermal mag! My restless leg syndrome is solved immediately...I put mag oil on my lower legs almost every night and no more restless legs or having to jump out of bed from sleep to stop extreme muscle spasm from venous insufficiency. My skin is much better as well.
I agree! I found a magnesium lotion that resolved my calf and arch cramps almost instantly. I could hardly believe it!
Which type of magnesium is good for better vitamin D absorption?
I am curious about magnesium chloride, any insight?
I just bought "7 minerals 'pure Magnesium Oil' made from "100% Magnesium Chloride"......before I saw your article. I didn't see that on your list - can you comment on what this might be?
Thanks!
I like using those magnesium citrate drinks to help me when I travel. I don't get any cramping, etc, and no OMG rushing to the bathroom incidents. It's very gentle for me.
What about Magnesium Tartrate? Thank you
Recommended by my cardiologist...
Is 😊Working
Goodgrief, which one? I have thyroid and high blood pressure.😮😢
For my high blood pressure I’m advised from a TikTok influencer to take magnesium chloride and magnesium taurate with D3 and Vitamin K2.
What about magnesium taurate? I read that it’s best for the nervous system and heart issues.
Very clear and to the point. Subscribed...I've been taking Malat in the evening so will now switch to mornings. Thanks.
What about magnesium chloride?
Best form of magnesium to take for mine!
What is magnesium chloride you didn't mention it
I've been taking Magnesium Glycinate for years for my heart. Why didn't you mention the heart? It slows my Heart Rate and relaxes me.
Great presentation, but is there a reason magnesium taurate was not included?
Didn't a study just come out that links high glycine levels to depression? Makes sense to me. I was taking 400 mg of Magnesium Glycinate and after about a week I had to stop because I felt sluggish and depressed. A few days after stopping I felt fine again. I switched to MagThreonate instead.
Is the kind you take oral ?
I find when I take glycinate, it makes me tired the next day.
Hi. Do you have a link to the paper or remember the title please? I'd like to read it
What is the best for bone health?
THANK YOU...I chose Magnesium Glycinate due to my research a few years ago. So glad for the added confidence that we are taking the best form. Doctors are SO busy theses days, I do a lot of my own research, and save more pressing matters for them! My husband's memory is becoming unreliable. We have an appointment to see a neurologist, since the recent visit with his MD. I am a bit afraid, but trying to stay positive. I have tried different nootropics, and brain enhancers. I wonder if you could discuss the components in these preparations, rather than the brand's themselves. The ones I was searching for were PS, the long term that professionals have shortened. Also Bacopa, Huperzine,GABA, L-Theanine, and Cholene. I'm hoping that the neurologist will prescribe something with these latest ingredients, but so many others are in these products, it would be good to have other professionals opinions. I look at health issues as a square, in that there is more than one side in these issues. Plus, each blend has a period of time to truly get to the issue. It is a mind boggling situation, pardon the pun. Thank you for the video.
