    An oversight was identified on the drug interaction slide, where the names of quinolone antibiotics were inadvertently misspelled. The corrected names are as follows: ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, and ofloxacin. Shout out to @MadameCasper for kindly bringing this to my attention!

    Liked and subscribed. I do not trust my doctors anymore. BEWARE READERS !! I was 8 years on avastatin, for cholesterol. My Pain got so bad I wanted to die. Both of my reg. Drs. missed it. Even the Pain Clinic Dr. missed it, a Vein Doctor took 1 look at my med list pointed at Avastatin, and said, "There's your problem !" Sure enough after 2 months my pain went down 85 %. the Pain Clinic wanted to keep doing surgery, needle nerve killing. Then they acted like I was a "Druggie" for wanting More Pain Pills. They almost cut me off. BEWARE !

    Does anyone know what it means on the bottle under supplemental facts of a 500 mg Magnesium Gylcinate tablet where it says: Magnesium Glycinate 500mg, then underneath it says Magnesium (from Magnesium Glycinate)150 mg, 36% Daily Value. Does that mean I would have to take 3 tablets to get 450mg and the RDA of actual Magnesium Glycinate? Or just 1 tablet is enough? I am not clear on this. If someone can explain I'd appreciate it.

Especially in combination with a gluten and casein protein free diet. I know however some people say caffeine taken during the day can trigger seizures later during the day as well. And then again, some believe that skullcap herb and ashwagandha helps with seizures. For me personally, magnesium and sodium in relatively high dosages does the trick.

    I'm a road cyclist. I started to experience cramps, fasiculations, and some palpitations after increasing my training load in the summer. I'm also a renal physiologist (now) and neurophysiologist (formerly). Magnesium glycinate has solved the issue. So it is interesting to me that you experienced similar issues after resuming running. Divalent cations have ridiculously complicated effects on excitable cells since they bind to so many things on the cell surface as well as inside cells. But it's been known since the 1950s that Mg2+ tends to stabilize resting membrane electrical properties in nerve and muscle, even in simple systems like squid axons. I know that because I published a paper on the same general type of observation in vertebrate neurons in around 1993, by which time nobody really cared As far as I know, that paper had only been cited once in the intervening three decades 😂. I had practically forgotten it myself, but it is what made me consider that a magnesium supplement was worth trying.

    nobody can figure my health out at the doctors they keep sending me to every buddy that don’t want to deal with me I guess , so I decided to diagnose myself and I truly believe I need magnesium and or potassium. Who knows what else because the labs keep coming back fine could you please tell me how much magnesium a 60 year old female should have per day if they feel their deficient with muscle cramps and numerous other symptoms but then I talked to my doctor and they say if I take too much ,, (I only get potassium out of the food I eat) no supplements ) that can cause muscle cramps, but I don’t take too much. they’re basing it on my labs which isn’t measured in the cell. Please help by giving me some numbers thank you right now I bought kal high absorbency magnesium glycinate it’s like $27 a bottle. It says Chelated but it does say bisglycinate in parentheses. Can someone please be honest with me if I’ve got the correct kind that will help me? Thank you for your time and efforts.

    I have a BAD problem with brain fog, where I must take a nap to clear the fog. The brain fog does affect recall, as well as the ability to lay down new memories while the brain fog is occurring. I now take Magnesium Theronate, and I sleep better at night, take less naps, and have much better brain function. I am now consistently waking up before the alarm. My doctor found I had low vitamin D level, and I started taking vitamin D a year prior to Magnesium Theronate. It may be the combo that helps, but I know it is working.

I read that Mg can help, but I was using the wrong form. A friend recently told me that her Dr. recommended Glycinate, so I switched, and ohhhhhhhhh man! I'm averaging 7-8 hours of sleep after taking it for about 3 weeks now! Not one Dr I have ever seen about this has even mentioned Mg., let alone Glycinate.

I’ve probably watched 15+ videos about Magnesium supplements, mostly learning about different types, and you are the first to explain what Chelated and Elemental mean. Those seem like pretty important pieces of information since non-chelated could mean that the supplement contains forms that you are trying to avoid. I’m kind of baffled that the others didn’t mention that.

    You did not mention Magnesium Malate or Magnesium Turate. Both of these forms do Not Cause loose Bowels. Magnesium is needed in the cell so that potassium can be absorbed into the cell. Otherwise if there is not enough magnesium inside the cell…the potassium will just circulate outside of the cell. Heart attacks are mainly caused by low levels of both magnesium AND potassium. Magnesium is needed for the assimilation of Vitamin D which protects our immune system and heart and vital organs.

    I take Doctors best magnesium glycinate and big believer that it changed my life. I started years ago after reading some research on magnesium deficiency and migraines and epilepsy. I had epilepsy as a kid which type had changed over the years where they couldnt tell me why i had it and was put on medicines. I stopped having seizures as and adult, but then started having 3-4 migraines per week. My migraines could be controlled with otc pain relievers if i would take them when auras started and my vision blurred and would see cracked light. After starting take the magnesium, the migraines stopped. If i forget to take the supplements or reduce my level, i start having the auras and blurred vision that starts the migraine. I suspect my epilepsy as a kid was due to magnesium deficiency but cant prove it now. I have not had any seizures for years and am not on any seizure meds. I also happened to have teeth sensitivity where i could not eat any sweets or ice where it would hurt the nerve if i ate too much. Dentist said i had no cavities and it was due to getting older. After starting the magnesium for the migraines, i realized that the teeth sensitivity also disappeared and i believe that its related to taking the magnesium too.

    @curiousc9259 I take Doctors Best High Absorption Magnesium, 2 tablets (total 200 MG) before I go to bed. The suggested dose is actually 400mg a day and I used to take that but was nervous about taking too much, in case I started to be able to get from other sources, so when I cut back, noticed how my body reacted to the dosage. I could tell with getting the migraine auras. When I first researched which magnesium to take I found that certain supplements do not get absorbed and are like taking nothing, so I wanted to pick one that would work. This supplement states it is 100% chelated lysinate glycinate, which I think I've seen others note that's what helps the body absorb it, though I don't know the science behind it. I first tried the magnesium on my own since my Dr's didn't seem to think my migraines were too much of an issue since I could control the pain with otc medicine like ibuprofen or Tylenol gel fast release. I didn't have to have the prescription migraine medicine, so they really didn't suggest anything to help it, even though I was having them 2-3 times a week. I have since changed primary Dr's, and have told my new Dr what I am doing and they are very encouraging to keep it up and have my levels tested and monitored.

    This is anecdotal, my blood pressures as of late have been around 150/98 or so. When I take 1-2 caps of vitamin shoppe brand magnesium taurate (125mg/cap) my blood pressure drops to the 115-130 for the top, systolic, number and about 70-90 for the bottom diastolic number.

    Considering so much of our food is depleted of nutrients & quality food & supplements just keep skyrocketing, I found long ago a large bag of magnesium chloride flakes, like Ancient Minerals, goes a long way. One large bag lasts me a year. Besides melting them in hot water to use as a skin spray, or in the tubfor a soak, I simply drop a few flakes in my morning water, or hide it in my hot coffee or tea. I just had a a blood panel done and my magnesium levels were strong.

    I'm an avid cyclist and where a Whoop that tracks my vitals 24/7. I had a severe 70 point decline in my HRV over two months that perplexed me. HRV is one of the key indicators or nervous system balance and recovery. I tried stopping training, diet, titatrating medications, etc, etc. with no change to the downward trend. I then tried magnesium supplementation and saw a full return to a normal HRV after one day of supplemation. I was obviously deficient and it made a huge difference.
