Thank you Chris! Been waiting for this a long time...
Your book seems really interesting :)
Might help so many people
Hello i am here with your 3rd cousin Klitemnistra Katsara!Greetings from Greece! 😊😊
Awesome! Tell Klyto I said hi! :-D
Suffered palpitations for years since before the age of 10. Was very scared as a child when they first started. Over the years I had a number of checks and doc's said heart was fine after checks such as ECG, and EKG. Still the palpitations continued. At the age of 30 or so I started taking around 5g of magnesium a day. Heart palpitations stopped!!
I am a little concerned that you mentioned low blood pressure being a sign of too much magnesium, as I do have low blood pressure and am now thinking this may come from the magnesium megadose I take. From tonight I'm going to drop it down to 2.5g.
mrmegabuckssongs , May want to check are you saying 5 gm tablet or 5 mg of magnesium? I have read that 1.0 gram of magnesium should be enough . 5 gram sounds like way too much. Do like my quote , and let us know how much you are taking now?
There is no way you're taking 5g of magnesium!!! lol
At 1g everybody would have diarrhea, no matter what form it is.
Most people can go up to 700mg a day.
Check the elemental content of your supplement, not the net weight :D
I started using food-grade Magnesium Chloride USP to make ingestible liquid magnesium. I found it's the type of magnesium that agrees with me best and I feel instant good results from it. (And I take a pinch of salt with it too.)
Thank you Chris! Great video! I would like to mention that diarrhea is not necessarily a sign of too much magnesium but more often a sign of malabsorption. Even taking the wrong type of magnesium supplementation can cause diarrhea. That is the reason why going for food as a solution is always better. I also like doing float tank therapy for skin absorption, you can not overdose through the skin. :)
Soils are depleted. So not an option.
Somehow my serum magnesium was fixed 3 months after I switched to an animal heavy diet?! Even though I didn't increase my supplementation?!
Can't explain this -. -
I'm using a mix of ATA-MG (magnesium n-acetyl-taurinate) with magnesium citrate. Works great. Great blood results in functional medecine.
The lack of salt sounds like me for a while. I wasn't maintaining sodium enough even when salting to taste. I think I solved this by drinking lightly salted water. It does this by also maintaining proper blood volume so blood pressure is fine
I use magnesium all the time, in magnesium oil form.
Hi Chris. Any idea why supplementing with P5P and R5P may have elevated my liver enzymes?
I am grateful for the salt tip. As a glutenfree sugarfree vegan I cook myself only and never use salt. I think I have to use more himalayan salt.
Your depression comes from the vegan diet. Check Ex-Vegan videos on RUclips. All suffer.
Interestingly enough, after 2 years of trying to fix my serum magnesium with 500mg Magnesium daily, it was only fixed in my last blood test 3 months after switching to an animal heavy diet. Can't explain this. All I did was double my animal protein intake. Does not make sense at all. Was going to switch the magnesium form, because I was getting desperate :-O
I get frequent muscle twitching and cramping, serum magnesium is always normal, what should I investigate next?
What about lechita guey ?
I thought kidney stones were mainly of calcium/oxalate origin.
Wow. great info on the importance of salt for health conscious individuals. didn't realize salt plays a role in transporting magnesium into cells....
Also, in regards to excess magnesium, is that a concern from food intake alone? Or is that more for those taking magnesium supplements? I often have less than ideal poops that air on the side of being too mushy and I'm wondering if this could be why.
Food isn't a concern for magnesium because of mineral absorption competition and fibers.

What about epsom salt baths for transdermal mg supplementation? Effective? Any danger of getting too much mg from too many/frequent baths?
I'm not sure if it's effective. I don't think it's risky for most people though.
What is the magnesium transporter defects mutation? How can I check if I have a mutation?
BeauProgramme , I think it is extremely rare, google may have it. Otherwise ask your doctor. What causes you to thing you have a problem?
Hi I would like to ask you what would the best choice between magnesium gluconate and Mag. L-threonate?
Thank you. You do a great job with your videos they are excellent
I would say that depends on what you need it for. Mag Threonate seems much better for center nervous system mag deficiency or perhaps excitatory neurotransmitter problems.
Threonate is an overpriced marketing gag.
Can you explain that more please? The MIT study showed benefit for Brain
More magnesium has removed daily calcium deposits that formed on my two front teeth and which had to be scrapped off. Can extrapolate that to all tissues.
Igaluit Stuart , are you saying as you took more magnesium the tarter in your teeth is less?
Yes. However, I have noticed that Vitamin D and increasing calcium paradoxically have also reduced thyis.@@jameskantor0459
What about supplementing with magnesium malate? There are so many types of magnesium supplements, maybe you could do a video on that topic :) Thank you.
Might be beneficial for the malate, but no particular benefit with respect to the magnesium.

It seems that everyone has given up on the idea of getting magnesium from food?
Depending on where you live, it's likely not in the food in sufficient amounts, especially not in the US where magnesium deficiency is at epidemic levels.
You can't get enough. Even today, it's recommended to get about 3-400 MG daily (you can look this up). You might remember even Al Gore ran his presidential campaign in 2000 around Magnesium deficiency in Americans. It was a big deal for him (along with Global Warming) as the backbone to his presidential run.
Magnesium is a very serious thing for the human beings indeed. Do the math on your daily intake, you'll be surprised at how minuscule the amounts are, no matter what you eat.
Eat Yr greens. Mg is at the core of the Chlorophyll molecule, much like heme (iron) is, in equivalent animal Tetrapyrroles.
@@drewc.2734 Mg is at the core of the Chlorophyll molecule, so eat Yr greens. I also supplement.
@@NikoHL does not matter. The soils are depleted from intensive agriculture.
Actually, I don't know if it's a coincidence, I've been trying to fix my serum magnesium for 2 years, I supplemented with amounts close to the diarrhea threshold, and yet it was fixed only in my last blood test after switching to an animal protein heavy diet for 3 months. Can't explain how this happened. As he said, meat doesn't look on paper to be a good Magnesium source :-O
Jeez i get why my swedish family doc says magn testing in subsidized medicine is not reliable 😅. U inspire me to switch freely between healthy eating styles 🌹
Just make sure your serum magnesium is in the upper half of the normal range. Then you are most probably fine.
@@sassuki 🙏🏽🌸🌸🌸
Magnesiumcitrate is not that bad is it? Do you think taking antidpressants like prozac makes you need more magnesium?
Lexapro does because it is floridated
Do you recommend any particular brand of Magnesium Glycinate? Carlson Chelated Cal-Mag product?
Peter Attia suggests supplementing with Mg can be considered an anti-aging approach, since it helps with lowering insulin and IGF, both implicated in premature-aging when elevated. He recommends Mag Slow, and Mg Oxides/Sulfates (Jarrow, Now). Does blood sugar spikes deplete Mg and raise raising insulin and IGF?
Also, any thoughts on the Keto Flu, which is said to be a result of low insulin causing the kidneys to secrete more water, and hence lose more electrolytes (sodium, magnesium, potassium).. causing cramps due to the loss of Mg/K from the kidneys?
I don't have any product recommendations for Mg Gly right now.
I don't know if blood sugar spikes deplete Mg.
I do think you need more electrolytes on keto. But I think the "flu" is also from taking time to adapt to an alternative fuel source optimally.
Great videos...
Only issue is your mic pics up the sound when it rubs on your shirt when you move...
Thank you. Not sure what to do about that right now.
Unnoticeable.
soils are depleted of minerals
Magnesium Bisglycinate and glycinate would have about the same effect? Is Bisglycinate bound to two Glycine molecules? Thanks.
There´s a product with both Bisglycinate and Malate. Are those good choices? Thanks
Bisglycinate has two molecules. Glycinate could be bisglycinate labeled less specifically. Both are fine.
Bisglycinate and glycinate are the same product !
Fine product !
I take Malate .....
Beans and apples
My serum magnesium was and is always normal...within the range... but my magnesium RBC is low !
I never checked my urine magnesium. Any ideas for me?
Watch the video again as this is discussed, or see the transcript here: chrismasterjohnphd.com/2018/08/23/manage-magnesium-status/
Serum magnesium must be in the upper half of the normal range.
If it is in the lower half, you are on your way to deficiency already.
Hi doc, I had great results after trying Magnesium Glyscinate for lower back spasm, but I just can't sleep. I was taking 400mg everyday and upped it to 800 mg. I stopped now because I felt like a zombie. The only thing that cures my back is Mag. Any advice?
Try a different form in case it's the glycine, stay tuned for upcoming videos on chronic pain.
How much mg of magnesium do you need a day?
At least 5mg per kg bodyweight.
As the modern diet doesn't usually provide more than 250mg, you need to supplement the rest.
Can you do a video on all the stinking types of Mg?... drives me nuts! Malate, Glycinate, Theronate, ?...
All you need to know is this : organic or inorganic. Inorganic are oxide and carbonate. These are more likely to cause diarrhea on higher doses, as they seem to be less absorbable than organic forms. The other forms are organic.
@@sassuki wow 10 years asking this and not one Dr or Health nut could answer this.
Thank you
What should be the calcim to magnesium ratio?
It shouldnt be a ratio
I see, thanks.@@chrismasterjohn
NO never to much salt just a lack of potassium? i think i am right about that chris
Can we consume magnesium chloride orally?
I don't recommend it.
@@chrismasterjohn It's been 3 months but if you see this can you explain why? Is it too much chloride like in potassium chloride? Have been taking Mag chloride but it makes my gut a bit off.
@@Stewf123 have you tried glycinate?
@@Rensoku611 Not yet, but the amino acid forms are what I am trying next. I have heard good reviews of glycinate.
What type of mag? Citrate? Glycinate?
Both of those are solid choices.
- Alex
uluvr1c3 , glycinate
Any form is good, even oxide. But organic are usually more potent than inorganic.
Try the cheapest and work your way up if the level doesn't get better after 3 months.

MgSO4 is ok?
Most people eating a diet based on junk-food (i.e., body parts and animal secretions) are deficient in magnesium. This is because our magnesium requirement is based on our eating a (proper) paleolithic diet, consisting of plants.
Sure, most magnesium in the diet is ideally supposed to to come from plant foods, but a deficiency is not a result of eating animal foods. It's the LACK of magnesium-rich vegetables in the diet due to overfarming, soil depletion, and pesticides. Even vegans/vegetarians have been found to be magnesium deficient, especially if they eat too many raw plant foods which, due to the excess antinutrient intake, can lead to deficiency
Animal food is not junk food. Junk food is cookies, crackers, soda, white bread (I would argue bread in general), candy, pastries, cereal, milk shakes, ice cream, cake, juice like drinks, alcohol, pasta, chips, etc.
Interestingly enough, my serum magnesium was fixed 3 months after I doubled my animal protein intake.
Don't ask me how. Doesn't make sense whatsoever. Was taking the same cheap Magnesium oxide I am taking since 2 years...
Can you stop saying details shmetails it's really annoying
Absolutely not. I come here just for that.
Whaa that's my favorite part
I love it too :p
Bro your name is SHAQUILLE OATMEAL. AND YOU DONT LOVE SH*T THAT RHYMES? FOH
You are just reading everything from the internet any idiot knows what magnesium is good for !! you're no doctor get a life ! the internet youtube is full of charlatans like you who want to sell books that are copied and paste !!..charlatans " parrots " like you should be put in jail . go get a real job ! in the construction ! you bum ! shindler!
