The list :
Magnesium Citrate - could help with constipation, i.e. could lead to diarrhea if overused.
Magnesium Sulphate - just stay away for internal use - use to rub on muscles instead.
Magnesium Glycinate - well tolerated by most people, combined with amino acid so highly bioavailable.
Magnesium Tuarine - another linked with amino acid - help with metabolic syndrome...to be verified.
Magnesium L Threonate - supposedly crosses the brain-blood barrier and can help relieve the mental conditions like lack of anxiety, sleep, depression, dementia. Supposedly.
Magnesium Oxide - just avoid unless you really can't afford any of the others above.
Magnesium chelate - could be either Glycinate or Tuarine or some other amino acid - the manufacturers are rather shy to make known just what is binding to the magnesium. Use as per the above with amino acid stuff.
Thank you, Kevin ✌🏼
Thank you
For Magnesium Citrate what do you mean if you take it too much? Isn’t it recommended to take one supplement in pill form per day?
What about magnesium carbonate? That's what is in calm
“You are in charge of your own health.” You two inform, teach and empower that responsibility and turn it into a blessing and a pleasure. Otherwise, being in charge can be rather overwhelming. Talking with Docs makes RUclips worthwhile.
We are so glad to help Debbie!
Supplements taken daily: 1) Centrum Silver Multivitamin for Women 50+, 2) Magnesium Citrate Softgel 500 mg, 3) Vitamin D3 + K2 Softgel 125 mcg/100 mcg and 4) L-Arginine 1000-2000 mg.
I have mentioned magnesium citrate on the previous video re: magnesium; this is the complete picture. Quite happy and content with the outcome and results.
Otherwise on no prescriptions. Known medical conditions include spastic cerebral palsy (premature birth, but CP not diagnosed or treated until age 3) and surgically-induced lymphedema of bilateral lower extremities (since 1978). Two surgeries in total of BLE, 1971 and 1978.
Blessed with good health with minor nuisances, all things considered.
Please don't inflate their already inflated egos 😂😂😂
I love the fact that you two are funny but also serious and very knowledgeable! I'm glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work guys and keep being you!
Love these guys. Their easy going banter makes their delivery fun. Very informative. Watched every day after knee replacement just for the encouragement.
Your videos are the BEST!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do them, it is really appreciated. 🍁
You guys get along so well together. Just a joy to watch!!!
Thanks Lesa!
Bro I love the Talking with Docs channels. Humor and banter goes a long way to keep us entertained and informed/educated. Thank you so much for the service you do Dr Zalzal and Dr. Weening
That is awesome to hear Javier. Doing our best to keep it light but useful
Fantastic follow-up Docs! Your channel is such an amazing resource, thank you!
Doing our best
Thank you so much for another very informative video! Love your channel ❤
Welcome B B
I learn so much from you two! Not only do I learn I also get a giggle. BONUS! Thank you for taking the time to educate us all on so many subjects.
That’s great to hear Suzanne
we can't unsee that - gold!!!! - love you guys - and great advice as always!!
No we can't kat. Burned into our memory
Thanks for your input and lighthearted approach! Oh, yes, and I appreciate that your video was brief!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video with great info & awesome humor. I’ve been trying to find a magnesium supplement to take. I had taken Mylanta for indigestion, but found out the hard way about an unfortunate side effect. So your video has came at the perfect time for me. Thank you both, very much appreciated.
Welcome
I am so glad you did this follow-up video. I was unsure which was safest or had the best bioavailability, and you answered all of my questions. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to make these wonderfully educational videos. Y'all are the best ♥
Thanks Stephanie. Glad we could help.
Is it true that magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts) is bad for diabetics?
Magnesium malate, which they didn't mention, also has a pretty good bioavailability. It's also cheap. Stay away from magnesiumoxide!!! =/
Love y’all guys - always making me chuckle!
OMG you two crack me up!!!! I am surviving pancreatic cancer so I have had time to watch you...although, I just found out I have a partial rotator cuff tear (supraspinatous) and I have NEVER had shoulder pain before!!! YUCK!!!!!!!! I can barely sleep...anyways, I am over tired and babbling...I just wanted to say thank you for all of your time.AND HUMOR!!
I think it’s fair to say that there’s not bad magnesium, rather more optimal forms
Great information guys. Thanks for the videos.
Welcome
This isvery important information guys!! Thanks
This was helpful, thank you. I especially liked that you had chapters for each type. I wish you'd covered magnesium malate as well.
You two make learning fun......Keep up the great presentations.. I love the short TO THE POINT videos.... GREAT JOB. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks!
I take magnesium citrate because I’m a regular guy. Dr. Zalzal is a Beast.
He sure is

Thanks, that answered some of my questions!
That is the goal Heather!
I really like your videos. You explain things in a way that a lay person can understand. For some reason your videos only show up in my feed sporadically. I have to sometimes search for them. The algorithms used by social media are frustrating to say the least!
Ty for making your info so fun to understand
So awesome,. ty much
Keep it coming 😊
Thanks docs, keep up the good work.

Thanks doc I wasn’t sure the best way to go on this. Very helpful will be getting one of these to use.
Good luck Joe
Thanks Guys very informative 👍
I love you Docs..Thank You for this video
Thanks!!!!
Thank you, good information. 😊
Welcome Christy
Thank you both for the information.
Welcome
Always useful. Thank you!
Glad to hear that!
Thank you for these details. I just started taking the citrate version. 400 mg. I just felt that at age 69 it would be a good idea to make sure I'm getting enough. Eating two smaller meals daily now I've been concerned about getting important nutrients. It's very helpful to know about different types and also whether different supplements should not be taken together. Love your channel! 🙂
Thanks Toni

Eat meat and eggs and save your money, don't buy the supplements. Well, I'd highly recommend Alpha GPC which will make your brain work better, better mental imagery and memory and verbal acuity. Way better than caffeine and without any jitters or anxiety! Go live life, friend.
I have a request. in the future could you please consider making a video addressing how taking PPI's affect the body's ability to absorb certain supplements/nutrients? Thanks for all you do for us, Doctors.
Great topic as it directly affects magnesium. We will add it to the list
What's ppi's?
@@beverlymarlin6837 Proton Pump Inhibitor. examples: prilosec, nexium, prevacid.
@@cf2993 Thank you
They toxic.. ! 😢
We need ALL Vitamin B’s for our Stomach acid to Function… !!!!! ESPECIALLY that PPIS … Lower VITAMIN B 12 and One gets anaemia or low IRON . ZINC and other minerals are needed up or Increase our stomach acid especially as we AGE..
If our Minerals ie Manganese / Copper . Zinc ETC… etc.. are out of Balance OUR whole Digestion system is affected…
Copper can either BE too low or Too HIGH..
Never add Copper.. unless tests are done.. never take more than 40/30 Mg of Zinc. Per night time.. ( not in the day)
Always Check Vit D3 levels With Blood test. Never Stop taking D3 as it’s a Hormone.. and it’s a morning VITAMIN… Add Vitamin K2.. m7 or AND k2 Foods.
GLUTATHIONE is involved in antioxidant process to prevent aging and CANCER.
After age 50 we make less Glutathione!!!! From Our Food… So our Stomach Acid reduces… 😱
If we don’t eat, Fresh Greens, Salads. Herbs. Legumes/ Vegetables. Fruit/ and Protein daily this adds to lower stomach ACID!
They lower Vitamin D . And CALCIUM levels, AND Vitamin C, then Causes Anaemia low Iron… and BONE density…
Magnesium levels. Are lowered BY PPIS… One can feel Light headed or dizzy!
We don’t make Vit B, C , D,E.. etc
Most people need extra vitamins after Age 50-60..
Hope this helps… 🎉
It’s from memory..
You docs rock..
the humor is great!
Nice short and informative video.
Glad you liked it Kubota
You had me cracking up! Your banter is amazing!
How did we know Dr Zalzal would talk about chicken wings!
And how did we get to his bathroom with a bubble bath, candles and jazz music playing!
Last time he accused Dr Weening of being a boomer and he's still on his case about being boring!
But you did give us a nice list of magnesium to take. Even though you lost count and Dr Weening kept talking and tried to give us every magnesium on the planet!
Did he mention the magnesium that appeared in the meteor that just landed on our planet?
I really loved this episode because I'm a compulsive list maker! I was thrilled when Dr Weening snuck in more than your official list!😋
You two are a riot, you make learning so much fun!
Now that you know I'm a compulsive list maker, you know I wrote all of them down! Although I only wrote 4 down and included the ones not to take. So I actually wrote down 5!
Your lists are so thorough, better than any I have made!
Once again you've come through and given the information we asked about!
We've had a nice dose of chicken wings but learned they don't contain any magnesium! If only they did, Dr Z would be so happy, he would never need any supplements and live on just chicken wings! He would be smiling all the time!😁
But man cannot live on chicken wings alone, Dr W will gladly give you kale to balance your diet! 😉
Thanks for sharing another hilarious video and making our day! 👍
Glad you liked it Vickie!!!!
Love your videos. Minor correction regarding magnesium citrate. Citric acid does come from citrus fruit but nearly all (99%) is now manufactured from a process that uses a form of aspergillus niger (black mold). It's known as MCA or manufactured citric acid. Mold is filtered out but reactions that include muscle aches, joint pain, breathing problems etc. have been known to occur in response to MCA, but not to the citrus fruit form. Although reactions are rare it's something to consider, especially if you have issues with mold.
@michaelhayes4759 thank you so much for this info, would you say Calcium Citrate has the same black mold issue in manufacture ....? many thanks.
Same MCA so yes. Probably most are safe but would be careful about cheap supplements sourced from China, etc. since filtering processes there may not be ideal. Also would consider alternatives to citrates if you have a severe mold allergy. I have one so I avoid all citrates just to be on the safe side.
@@michaelhayes4759 thank you so much, that's good to know (am using Now Foods calcium citrate, seems like a good brand, but good to be aware, thanks) xxx
I just bought this form and was wondering why I am having trouble breathing ... highly allergic to mold.
@@catherinemushaw19561:36
Great. You provided some useful information.
Thanks for sharing this video with all the different kinds of magnesium that is out there.
Welcome Marcia
Thanks Docs. I went on a long hike a few years ago - 800 kilometres across Spain. I ended up with very painful legs and a bad case of plantar fasciitis. When I got back, told my doc, she blurted "Magnesium!" (for the muscle pain). Next time I go on a long-distance hike I'll take Magnesium supplements to avoid muscle pain from temporary Magnesium shortage brought on by crazy over-exertion. Wish I'd known at the time.
800km wow!
Thanks Mike for the info there!
Those cramps can be intense. I would get those sometimes in my hands from working cause a low magnesium very very painful
Just found you guys and am enjoying your content! Thank you for clarifying the zinc question from the previous magnesium video as I take one of my mag glycinate capsules with my multivitamin, the other two at bedtime. I'm taking Pure Encapsulations mag glycinate 120 mg capsules 3 per day. I am on both a PPI for GERD as well as long-term inhaled corticosteroid user for asthma, which may or may not deplete magnesium.
Educative yet funny!!! you're also talented in acting and comedy.
You guys are hilarious and incredibly informative! Thank you very much for this valuable information (and the laughs).
Our pleasure!
I loved this. I take magnesium citrate when I need for severe muscle spasms , cramping. Your right it is a fine line of balance with gastric function. ❤
Yes, it gets rid of the leg cramps and causes cramps in your belly. It just move them.🤣
Backs muscles spasms? If so I would take the citrate leaning on glyconate.
This is how it's done. You guys make learning fun, and down to earth. Thanks for making the world a better place. I take Magnesium Threonate, L-Theanine, and Apigenin as a trio for sleep. Works great! I would like to see you guys do a video on the synergistic effects of taking vitamins D3+K2 (MK-7). Lots of promising studies on this combo. Keep up the awesome videos!
Hi Brad. Thanks so much. Yes K2 is on the list!
@@TalkingWithDocs Magnesium Biglyscinate.
Take the most recommended in America in all health food Co-ops of the U.S. Magnesium Oxide is a generic Ceramic causing the worse muscle Cramps breaking your muscle tissue and Causing Damage. Ceramic breaks easily? this Causes such deadly pain you can pass out.
That ML7 works in synergy with calcium
Thats exactly what I take. Its a sleeping pill substitute and works!
Wow! Doctors with a sense of humor! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for the explanation
Welcome eriko
Started Magnesium (250mg) and the cramps in my calves, feet and often thighs just completed ended. Thanks Docs!!!! Game Changer!!!
Nice
What kind of magnesium do you take to relieve leg cramps?
I started taking nattokinase and the soreness from my back spasms stopped. Im looking into magnesium and its benefits as well
what brand, please
you could also take potassium.
My favorite is Magnesium Glycinate.
Magnesium glycinate, Soloray brand 350mg for afib. Works in 10 minutes ! I take 4 to 5 a day, depending how active i am usually with food.
Thanks for sharing
Not sure which one of you is the stickman in Vaudeville but you're both tops in my books fellas thank you for the simple straightforward explanation
Thank you for great infor.
I take magnesium for migraines. I sleep better, I feel better and I’ve been more regular. Who knew it could help so many things.
That’s great news
What type of Magnesium?
Which type? I am a lifelong migraineur. Please be more specific.
I take magnesium stearate. It has helped improve my mood. I’m 39 (woman) and noticed I’ve become highly irritated by everything. I’ve also noticed my “quiet” anxiety increasing. I can attest that this magnesium supplement has helped improve these problems of mine. I feel like a new person.
That’s very cool
I also had a time where I was screaming at every little thing. Thank goodness I live by myself! When I began to get serious about regular supplements of magnesium of various types, the irritation went away.
Magnesium stearate is just a small ingredient in the supplement, i think what you have is actually Magnesium Oxide.
Well done. That’s funny but sad. Stearate is a flow agent and it’s everywhere which is NOT good
@@elizknight8262u
Thank you for your insight
welcome
Thank you for information. I need to start taking it.
You are so welcome!
I take on a daily basis a 420 mg Magnesium-Oxide tablet, the Canadian brand Swiss Natural (go figure). I used to have cramps and charlie-horses, all went away after a few weeks of daily intake. Same with my neighbour, who had very severe leg cramps. His doctor approved and his cramps disappeared. After your video, I checked its composition. It is 420mg of magnesium-oxide, which is equivalent to 252mg of elemental magnesium. No idea what that means, but it works, which is what counts for me.
Very nice!
My use came from 5 yrs ago when I started developing drop in blood pressure when quickly getting up, over few months. My GP was concerned and ordered full Cardiologist workup, EKG, Echo-cardiogram, stress test,... Cardiologist found everything OK and advised that I may try taking Mg supplement, it may help. It helped indeed, when I went to the Doc' I was in the process of constructing pathway in backyard requiring a lot of kneel-down-stand-up work and I needed to stop it, dizziness was exhausting. After just few weeks on common Mg supplement, Mg Oxide from Sundown, 500mg/day those symptoms were gone and never came back(I keep taking it). I finished that project easily as in younger days. Hope this experience can help someone with similar issue.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for this!
Welcome.
Very informative and fun! New subscriber!
Thanks so much Maricela. So nice to have you along for the ride!
My Canadian doctors! Love the banter and the good information. Will be sending to my siblings who all likely need more magnesium.
Send them over!
Canadian doctors pushed the vaccine shamelessly. In my book, they are quacks.
Another great video from my favorite Docs!
Thanks!
I love you guys. Thank you. I'm hooked 😂❤
great video. Quite informative
Thanks Kent
Great information Doctors. I didn't know there were so many forms. I take glycinate. I believe taking the proper amount of glycinate is weight related.
Thanks for sharing
You’re very welcome. The amount that is required is somewhat independent of weight being between 304 450 mg per day
I’ve never seen any information measuring how much you take by weight but by sex. Depending on if you’re a man or woman. There are different recommendations for both but not too far off.
I love that you guys are in Canada as well! I always advise that people do bloodwork before and during to make sure of the proper dose. As well they aren’t just making expensive urine when they are deficient😂they last 3 years I’ve been dealing with Neuroendocrine Cancer so I do have dangerous deficiencies. I take 6,000mg of Mg gluconate which would have disastrous side effects on a regular person. I’m regularly have my levels checked but it does shock doctors and pharmacists. Also my level of Potassium supplements would cause a cardiac event in an average healthy person. Do you also suggest patients get regular blood checks? Thanks, I really enjoy how your channel covers such a range of topics.
The trouble with bloodwork is that only 1 percent is in our blood. We have another video about this
Just discovered your channel - thanks for the information and entertainment.
Thanks for watching!
You guys are a riot ! Naturally I subscribed 😂✌🏼
I take a complex of Glycinate, Taurate and L-threonate. Magnesium Orotate is a great one as well, which I take every other day to switch from the aforementioned complex.
Nice
Which brand do you take? Never seen a mag combination like that before.
@@MMM-ng6gi search Mother Nature magnesium complex, you should find them
I take Magnesium L-Threonate i take it if im stressed out or having a headache it works all the time. I also take Thiamine along with Magnesium as they work hand in hand just like the two doctors here😁
These guys pay attention to the comments and their community!! Thanks
We sure do. Try to answer every one
You got yourself another subscriber! I have 130+/90+ BP with 100+ pulse rate…
I sometimes feel my heart palpitating and sometimes feel tired. I will purchase my first mag.glycinate and hopefully I see a big difference with my heart rate.
If I was doing a podcast on supplements and watched you guys do yours I would 🤫 MAD RESPECT FROM EAST LONG BEACH 💯
Thanks!!!
I was experiencing horrible morning leg cramps and I would've had *NO IDEA* that it was due to me suffering from a magnesium deficiency if I hadn't listened to a podcast on the subject. Once I started taking the daily recommended dose of magnesium glycinate for my gender and age group, like magic my cramps immediately went away and have stayed gone.
So which one is best for cramps?
@@KBradAdams - *GLYCINATE* -- hands-down, our bodies absorb it the best out of all the magnesium types.

Simple and to the point, love the video and chicken wings too.😋
Thanks!
Good stuff, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Oxide is just absorbed slowly so magnesium levels in blood don't skyrocket, as in case of citrate, but gradually increases. So taking oxide can be considered better option as you want to maintain stable upper levels and not acute attacks of Mg concentration in blood.
It is absorbed more slowly, but it is also absorbed, less completely and less effectively.
My cardiologist put me on mag oxide 400 mg a day for heart palps. I also take Zinc 50 mg a day. Is mag citrate good for the heart too? Which mag is best for heart? Thank u!
Just found this channel, and I think it’s great! I have a question about which Mg form is best for nerve function. I have Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy in my feet and lower legs and would like to see if additional Mg might help.
Yes I too have this condition and would like to know
Thank you!
Thanks so much.
I understood what ever you said. English is my second language.
Great job!
Great video as always! I take mg glycinate every night to help me sleep and helps my muscles feel so much better. My muscle stiffness went away after I started taking 200 mg daily. I can't believe how much better I feel.
That’s awesome c
Thank you 4 that!

You guys are great! Thank you for your videos! Would I benefit from a multivitamin that has magnesium in it? Want to try for fibromyalgia like symptoms symptoms. Also, can you make a video about vitamin B1? Thank you.😊
It’s worth considering a multivitamin. And yes B1 is on the list
Yes Multivitamins have magnesium but most dont have the daily requirements because if you are eating a healthy diet you get most of your mag from there...those of us that dont get it in our diet take a supplement IN ADDITION to a vitamin.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
You guys are funny, but also very informative. Thanks.
Great info! I've been taking the same Magnesium for 4 year's. Chelated Magnesium I used to have leg cramps and the plus was it helps to relax my anxiety. Is it okay to mix Chelated with Glycinate? magnesium
So Glycinate is considered chelated so worth a tru
Yeah, I take Magnesium Glycinate. It is SO expensive in the US.
It would be nice if supplements were regulated by the FDA and covered by insurance.
Big Pharma, however, would never allow that to happen.
I understand the cost are high my income is very low, Christ always supplies my needs. big pharma is not the answers for us. Nature grocers has often good sales, hope you have them where you love. 😊
very informative 👏.. hope you could help im having a problem with my sleep, and im not a fan of taking supplements to be honest but i will try this one.. what type of magnesium should i take? thank you
OK, A vision of Dr Paul Zalzal in a bath of magnesium sulphate, possibly bobbing on the surface, as he snacks on chicken wings is the beginning of the end! Like you videos? They are fantastic as well as very informative. Many thanks Drs Zalzal and Weening, you are just brilliant
Thanks David. We envisioned one of those little trays that goes across the tub and maybe some carrots and celery bobbing in the bath.
