I have much better sleep than I did 10 yrs ago. I use to be considered a noght owl BIG TIME. I take iron because I developed deficiency after menopause 3 years ago. I take vitamin D because I don't get out much anymore and I started magnesium to help me use the bathroom easier since I am disabled. So, it sounds like me adding those 3 supplements to my day has also helped me in a different way. I use to stay up until 2 am. all the time and now I usually head to bed about 9 or 10.😀
Great advice. Thanks for all the tips. For me that’s just not enough vitamin D especially living in Michigan in during the winter. I take between 5000 to 10,000 international units along with vitamin K2. It might sound like a lot but just going out in the sun for 20 minutes. You can get that much during the summer.
Thank you for this video but you need much more of 800 IUS of vitamin D especially in the winter time 5,000 IU's is sufficient to get your vitamin D up to Optimal level
Hi! Thanks for watching and for the input! You’re absolutely right-many people may need more than 800 IU of vitamin D, especially during winter. It's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the optimal amount based on individual needs.
I'm housebound and after a lot of trial find 20k IU of D3 gives me the best result. (I just feel better). I also take magnesium glycinate, vitamin K2, zinc. My sleep apnea and asthma have gone completely!
"I heard there are 5 foods that help the elderly sleep better. I'm so curious! 😍 I wonder if there are some foods I'm eating every day? If anyone knows, please share immediately, so the whole family can improve sleep together." come on 😴✨"
Already take Vitamin D, magnesium, iron, B complex, drink chamomile tea night, and I still can't get to sleep. I am 67 years old. I eed sleep. Oh, tried melatonin too. Didn't help either. Any suggestions?
Don't stress out about it that's probably part of your problem just relax your brain is wired differently, go with the flow I suspect you're stressed out.
@ thanks. Take .5 mg of Klonipin at night from my DR. , Prozac during the day and been to therapy for stress. They made me even more stressed out! Just need a ray of hope…….
Blood magnesium does not measure available magnesium since most is locked in bone. The form of the magnesium supplement matters magnesium oxide is poorly absorbed, magnesium sulphate causes diarrhea and only magnesium threonate and glycinate get into the brain. To get vitamin D3 from sunlight you need UVB that varies by latitude, season and time of day and whilst this may raise your blood level to the 40 - 80 ng/ml adequacy band it tells nothing ot the levels of active vitamin D3 after conversion in the kidneys with the elderly often producing an inactive isomer. A daily supplement of 600 IU is laughable since it is what was determined to stop rickets at the start of the last century. The dose needed to raise you r blood level is 5000 to 10,000 IU per day and you can go as high as 30,000 IU per day for a month if it is very low. Care must be taken with iron since is a very strong oxidizing agent that will damage arteries.
Iron supplements r very dangerous. True Cause of low iron is high consumption of carbs/sugar/alcohol!!! If People correct their diet, it’ll fix it. & eating foods high in Iron is the right way.
I can only take half a gummy, plus magnesium. It does have 3 mg melatonin , but since I only take half , it's only 1.5 mg . Have to look for another type of gummy without melatonin. Any suggestions?
Very hard here in UK to get Magnesium Gly, well know health shop here does not do their own but do supply from another company. This is the only one I have found that I would trust to buy. But it is always out of stock wonder why. As for Oxide , you can get it in all stores that sell vits and mins wonder why!? It does cause very loose stools but as I take Amplodine and side effect of that for me is constipation that's fine. One question Can you take both Oxide and Glycinate ? Taking Vit D and Mag Oxide my sleep has improved. Have ordered K2 so will see if that makes it even better.
AI doesn’t agree with what you said about magnesium supplements being ineffective if your blood levels are normal. Here is what AI said: Yes, magnesium supplements can potentially help improve sleep even if blood magnesium levels are within the normal range. Magnesium plays a role in relaxing muscles, supporting the function of neurotransmitters like GABA (which promotes relaxation), and regulating the body’s circadian rhythms. These functions can make magnesium helpful for improving sleep quality and reducing insomnia, regardless of current blood levels. For people already within a normal magnesium range, the benefits can vary, as sleep effects might come from magnesium’s impact on calming the nervous system rather than correcting a deficiency. Forms like magnesium glycinate and magnesium threonate are especially noted for their sleep-promoting properties due to their high bioavailability and brain-targeted benefits. However, it’s always wise to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if adding or adjusting a magnesium supplement would be appropriate, particularly as excessive magnesium can cause side effects.
I have read many books, I listened to many RUclips videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to the hidden herbs by anette ray. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
Listen to Dr. Andrew Huberman’s podcasts on sleep, particularly the part about getting outside to see the sunrise without sunglasses. Not from a window but actually outside. His podcasts on sleep might just be what you need. This podcast on vitamins is great too. His just has other suggestions as well.
I quit watching the minute.You said you can buy any of these supplements at a drugstore. You should know as a doctor that you need to do some research and buy supplements that you know have in it what they say they do. Lotta snake oil out there.
Thank you for this video but you need much more of 800 IUS of vitamin D especially in the winter time 5,000 IU's is sufficient to get your vitamin D up to Optimal level
Yes 800 IU's is way too low especially in the winter time when you don't get sun you absolutely need at least5,000 Iu by listening to other people functional doctors and from own experience my blood work can testify by supplementing with 5,000 I am at an optimal range
@@marylockwood4400 I never heard of somebody overdosing on vitamin D that's always good to check blood work I take 5,000 in winter time and I have great levels now the majority of people are deficient
Morley Robbins (of 'Root Cause Protocol" fame) cautions against excess Vitamin D. According to him, 5,000 IU of supplemental Vitamin D (taken orally, daily) would be very much in excess of what is healthy. Admittedly, he holds a minority view of this subject: best amount of Vit. D to get every day. He recommends trying to get it thru sun exposure, and/or getting small amounts of it thru taking a high-quality Cod Liver Oid (food based, natural source ... as opposed to where supplement manufacturers typically get large quantities of Vitamin D from), or other foods.

Magnesium Oxide is known to cause diarrhea. This is the most common form found in low quality multivitamins.

Thanks for sharing! Happy you found something that works for you.
For everyone reading this, finding the banned book called “the hidden herbs” by anette ray should be your top priority
thanks
read it a few days ago, its great
This is the most spammed commercial post on YT...geez...
What are they? Or are you just trying to sell books?
Where can you get that book? It is not on Amazon.
Vitamin D, Iron, zinc, magnesium
This is 4 he said 5
@nellyb.9340 yup and the last one was melatonin, which I didn't list for a reason. You should be tested for deficiency before taking it .
@ in that case one can argue that the same goes for Vit D also because excess causes toxicity
@nellyb.9340 very rare to be deficient in vit d
@@nellyb.9340 EXTREMELY rare that anyone would have adequate levels of vit d and magnesium - especially in the US

Make sure it's magnesium glycinate. If all else fails, try Ambien and thc/cbd
Ask your doctor for Amitriptyline HCI. I am 61 and been taking it for 20 years. It is cheap and cheerful works great
@@heatherklick3667 prozac can cause insomnia.
I use Ambien for overnight flights. Is this okay? How about when I really need a good night's sleep at home? Okay?
0 seconds ago
1- Vit D. 2- iron. 3 - zinc. 4 - magnesium
5 - melatonin for seniors and 0.5 mg/day max
Magnesium Glycinate Gummies work wonders for sleep. Better than Melatonin. 😴
Good video , the problem with me is when I take supplements, I can’t sleep, thanks

Magnesium Taurate...for the heart!
Thanks , points well taken that I will follow.
Hi! Thanks for watching - Hope it helps 😊
I would look for GMP certified.
Is it true that magnesium glycinate and magnesium theronate are the best forms of magnesium for sleep because they cross the blood-brain barrier?
Yes
Magnesium glycinate absorbs magnesium the most. I sleep better with it, while others have much less.
Now that i spent a fortune on vitamins,i come across this site,i should have got blood work done first
CBD baby! I sleep all night long.
I can only take half a gummy, plus magnesium. It does have 3 mg melatonin , but since I only take half , it's only 1.5 mg . Have to look for another type of gummy without melatonin. Any suggestions?
Hi! Thanks for being here - Glad you found something that works for you 😊
@cindysmith1798- Hi, what name brand and amount of CBD do you use and what form is it in a pill? Thank You for your help:)
No supplements my mother age 88 still sleeps 8 hours a night. She takes zero meds I'm 62 the same
That's awesome to hear! 😊 Everyone finds what works best for them-
CALM with magnesium glycinate, GABA and small amount of melatonin works wonders for me. Just an idea.
@stevecochrane3120 tried Calm too. Will keep trying.
Go to wk stand on your foot for 8 hrs 12 hrs daily u will get to sleep quick .
Magnesium Glycinate is the best for sleep, and does not give you diarrhea.
Yes agree I take this one

Do sun lamps help? I have a Verilux that I like very much.
Chamomile tea is great for sleep
Thanks for your feedback!
No need for supplements for a good night sleep. Just eat healthy food, exercise and meditate/pray😊
I have read many books, I listened to many RUclips videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to the hidden herbs by anette ray. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
Are you sure of the name of the author? I see a book on Amazon by that title - but by Alyssa J Bancroft.
Actually found an ebook by that title & author. Looks scammish.
How do u decalcify the pineal gland?😮
I am trying vita K2 Mk7. This vitamin drives the calcium to the bones, where it should be. Check with your medical practitioner
You don’t look like your over 55. Maybe the sleep makes you look young.
Thank you!

Why in the world would anyone take Cipro in this day and age?
Did you really say 800 ui that's ridiculously low. The latest research on vitamin D deficiency it's more like 5,000 to 10000 per day
Much better 🎉
CBN for and magnesium oxide.
I love CBN but am still learning more about it
Put Drs on commission only and they all go broke
I can’t sleep at all , now night I sleep 2 hours , another day I awake all night.
Me too…it’s been this way for years…tried all kinds of supplements, I just don’t know what else to do…it’s hopeless 😢

Magnesium works great
Lucky you, not for me 😊
Which version of magnesium?
Magnesium gives me low blood pressure
You can get magnesium in magnesium Epsom salt bath at night that's one way to help relax also magnesium glycinate is best for sleep
Thats a great suggestion
His information on vitamin D amounts is way out of date.
Another guy on RUclips selling supplements online??
What is he actually selling
Banana tea - best to drink at night?
Yeah it's great at night. Not only is there a ton of magnesium but lots of potassium too
