This is THE best video on magnesium that I have ever seen. It should be mandatory for MDs, NDs, and chiro's who practice natural medicine. Thank you Dr. A for this.❤
I have been a magnesium fan for many years. This is the best (by a long way) summary of magnesium supplements that I have ever read or seen. I will send this to the many friends I have that I have tried to persuade to take a supplement given the poor micronutrient state of most foods we eat now. Great public service.
This explains why an electrolyte supplement I took was fine normally but caused muddy monsoons when I took it while fasting. It was the type of magnesium used that unleashed the chocolate labs. Now it’s clear to be careful what type of magnesium is used in an electrolyte mix.
Wonderful watching your informative site. Would you be able to let us know WHERE to purchase nutrients -- that is, the most pure and organic and that may not be simply synthesized in a lab. Thank you so very much.
I don't understand one thing... If all chelates disassociate from the magnesium in the stomach itself, then why is there a difference in absorption rates, given that it's just the magnesium ions in all cases?
@@Jasper7182009 Magnesium and other minerals are combined (chelated) to organic compounds like amino acids. Dr A says the magnesium and amino acid split apart in the stomach itself so my question is why do different types of magnesium behave differently when though the magnesium has split away and is just a standalone magnesium ion in the intestines. I'm hoping Dr A answers my question soon.
Thank you Dr A for helping so many people! I used to use mag citrate itS widely available and cheap and works fast for muscle cramps and dissolving oxalate stones, however I mainly use the glycinate form now. This is because I dont wantmy Ceruloplsmin levels affected (Copper transporter) my health, back, and shoulder have improved as well as chronic fatigue, and sleep. Thank you Morley Robbins. Dr A please have him on your show.
What’s the difference between mag biglycinate and glycinate? I have biglycinate and it’s been the most effective for my symptoms(from all the kinds I’ve tried) but I’m wondering if maybe just glycinate would be better for me ? 🤔 (anxiety, muscle cramps and weakness, heart health)
My understanding is that Magnesium Bisglycinate is so small (Dalton's) that it crosses the stomach lining intact and doesn't separate until it's inside the cell which is not what you said. My understanding is that it is one of the only forms that is not dependent on stomach acid. If true your explanation should be updated/corrected.
I'm a bit puzzled. While I was on hydroxocobalamin injections every other day, between 2-5 mg of folinic acid every day and normal DRI iron my histamine issues/MCAS symotoms went away almost completely except what I presume is irreversal damage that have come from the dysautonomia that have caused my erectile dysfunction and visual disturbances. Anyway... I couldn'y tolerate any B-complex. I tried methylated ones as well as "normal" ones. My blood glucose spiked until I stopped taking them. So I was on these 3 suppliments alone. And all of a sudden more than half my beard grew out as comoletely white. Big patches of whitw beard. So I stopped and ordered a test for zink levels as well as magnesium. And withour taking any magnesium for a couple of months my levels was outside normal range. Since I had ordered ir myself and not through my GP she just said it wasn't that bad and not very far out of range. So she didn't investigate this further. I wonder what the reason could be. I'm still prety sick and my MCAS have returned after I stopped the treatment. But I had a period still without symptoms even after I stopped treatment that lasted like 3-4 months before the symptoms came creeping back.
I second that. Most Americans and first world city and suburban dwellers are low in thiamine (B-1) to get enough… you cannot slam your body all at once… you need to Titrate up slowly. Eventually after a few months building up to 400 Mg per day spread through out the day. Amazing benefits along with differing types of magnesium’s throughout the day as well. I find a combo of B-1 and Benfotiamine is the trick for me. Benfotiamine is fat soluble for of B-1. It’s the B-1 Bomb.!
Is Vitamin D w/K2 effective, in an oil form, dropped into water that has magnesium glycinate dissolved in it? I know D is fat soluble so I was wondering if it was dropped in water w/mag, is it now ineffective? Thanks! ✨️
I would imagine that the D & K2 is still in the oil droplets when put into water as it won't fully dissolve. I also don't believe fat soluble vitamins are made ineffective if put into water. But that's a good question I'm sorry I can't be more certain - Team Dr. A
Magnesium citrate was the only form of Mg that noticeably raised my hair Mg... indicating that it had been incorporated into the body as an organic molecule. Presumably other forms remain as inorganic Mg... which would be much less useful to the body. 🙂
@@denvernaicker8250 Well thank you! I did enjoy the video, as i do with every video Dr. Paul puts out. His knowledge of the subject and thoroughness in his explanation is the best.
@@MegaWandak I think my GP meant that a blood test won’t show *deficiency*: it would show a measure of magnesium in the blood (serum magnesium?), but that won’t show if I’m getting enough magnesium for my body’s proper function (from my diet). If one’s body doesn’t intake enough magnesium because of diet or malabsorption, the blood takes magnesium out of the bones. I don’t know if that is true. My question is (1) is it true, (2) is there a better test for magnesium other than a blood test.
@@irenag3994 great response!! There are also tests that will show the levels, when my FORMER Gp said the same as yours did I purchased a vitamin and mineral test 🙂
Topical magnesium be it chloride or sulfate (Epsom salts) are poorly absorbed and do not raise your magnesium levels inside the body i.e. No noticeable increase Lots of claims to the contrary... but try finding a study that measures an increase. 🙂
@@jeanmaryzinman8322 Have you tried MgCl2 orally? Oral MgCl2 is the best absorbed form of magnesium. Look up Caroline Dean's ReMag formula (taken orally): It's just MgCl2 in solution. 🙂

Very interesting. I use Magnesium Bisglycinate before bed & the amount of deep sleep I get is amazing.
That's really interesting, thanks for sharing - Team Dr. A
Great video on explaining different magnesiums! Thank you 🙏

Awesome explanation. I have been making magnesium water for over a year using magnesium hydroxide and carbonated water. Instructions online.
Where?

So, which one's the best type to take on a regular basis? And what's the safe limit per day sir?
Magnesium threonate and b6 p5p helped my long covid brain fog so much. It also helped get lower the crazy long cvid anxiety/ shaking feeling.
Also Long Covid and Magnesium, Zinc, all B vitamins are so important. What is p5p?
Which is the benefit of magnesium on the kidneys and which type of magnesium is good for kidney stones, specifically, calcium oxalate stones?
What’s the difference between mag biglycinate and glycinate?
I have biglycinate and it’s been the most effective for my symptoms(from all the kinds I’ve tried) but I’m wondering if maybe just glycinate would be better for me ? 🤔 (anxiety, muscle cramps and weakness, heart health)
They’re the same.
You mention "the other video" but what other video? What is it called?
it sounds complicated and my head is spinning. What one magnesium would be best for me dealing with Oxalates, salicylates and aspergillus?
Thanks!
There is problem of orally is reaction with oils and precipitation is occurring which could cause clot in blood circulation
Also Magnesium Glycinate 😊

Is slow ag any good

What effect does Magnesium hydrogen citrate have?
Which is the best form?
It depends on what you want to use it for - Team Dr. A
@@DrA-Online thank you
@@DrA-Online just to telex the nervous system..
FYI, if magnesium gives you anxiety, you are low in thiamine (B1).
Do you know how that works?
I second that. Most Americans and first world city and suburban dwellers are low in thiamine (B-1) to get enough… you cannot slam your body all at once… you need to Titrate up slowly. Eventually after a few months building up to 400 Mg per day spread through out the day. Amazing benefits along with differing types of magnesium’s throughout the day as well.

Ugh what about Mag Orotate.
That 2-3 seconds out of the whole 16:39 video was off-putting to you? 😂😂 Maybe there's a Magnesium that will help you with your sensitivity?

What about magnesium oil on skin, does it get absorbed too?
I believe so - Team Dr. A
I’ve had great results from magnesium oil spray.
@@jeanmaryzinman8322 I use before bedtime. It is great for me. Better longer sleep.
And no research paper or publication
Electro light?? Fix that please.
What do you mean? - Team Dr. A
@@DrA-Online the correct spelling is electrolytes, not Electro light.
My GP told me that she won’t test my magnesium because the body takes magnesium out of the bones so a test doesn’t show deficiency.
Hm, interesting. Maybe we'll need to do a video on testing - Team Dr. A
I’m sorry to dispute your doctor, but I just got my blood test back and it showed my magnesium level

I can provide anecdotal evidence that topical magnesium works for me.
While topical MgCl2 may provide some relief it doesn't mean it's well absorbed.

Purely scientific video no conclusion, which mag achieve or good instead so confusing video
the sound clicks to subscribe at the start of the video are off-putting
