Neurologist reviews MAGNESIUM and best BRANDS

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!

You possess excellent communication skills and your delivery is intellectually and effective. It’s a pleasure to listen to you.

Wow, everything your doctor doesn’t have time to tell you. Thank you so much for doing this video.

I just stumbled on your site. I'm happy to follow you. You're very knowledgeable, you explain in layman's terms what happens inside the body and you give the good and bad effects of medications plus recommendations of the best brands. I'm so impressed that I'd use you as my primary doctor -- and that's something i don't say to many. I'm looking forward to more of your videos. Thank you for helping all of us, out here in the void.

Had epilepsy for many many years. Then started supplementing large dosages of magnesium combined with sodium, while removing casein protein from my diet. Suddenly it was gone... Anti-epileptics never worked. So I was really blessed to have found these alternatives.

Thank you for such a detailed and quality guide! 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.

My use of Magnesium Theronate has seemed to help me with my memory... which really is needed in my job, I am 63. It has really helped my 87 yr. old mother with her ability to interact and lessen her depression, maybe decision making as well.

Your presentation is so clear and concise. Thank you for all the research you put into this video.

On point. Thank you very much. As a fellow neurologist I use a lot of Mag for my patients with good results.

Thank you so much. This information is important -- I'm a 78 yo disabled senior whose magnesium levels are usually low. Back to taking my MG supplements. Great program.

You name off some of the foods highest in oxalate which binds to minerals and blocks them from the digestive system. I had to stop eating those vegetables and seeds to stop the horrible joint pain they were causing because of that oxalate.

Your review contained a lot of crucial information that other Youtube channels covering Mg missed out. Well done and thanks!

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.

Great video, thank you!! I have RLS, and have suffered with it my whole life (I'm mid 50's now), but horribly keeping me from falling asleep, and waking me up all night for the last 20 years. 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 tried to research, and ultimately purchased Pure Encapsulations, and I'm so glad to see that it made your list of a great option! I feel like a human again!

When I started taking Magnesium , I didnt know wich form was better . I was getting tachycardias at night while asleep . I began taking Magnesium Oxide and i felt a huge difference , It brouht my life back .. Now i take magnesium Glycinate and i can feel no anxiety , no heart accelerating in my sleep .. Its a miracle

Most transparent doctor, video I've ever seen on YouTube. Now a subscriber THANK YOU 🙏❤

My perception is that magnesium, citrate for me, helps me fall asleep and the dreams are typically pleasant. I do 250mg to 400mh depending on how hard I’ve been working out

besides magnesium glycinate and magnesium threonate (and other forms), there is magnesium taurate (magnesium + taurine). some claim that this compound also has cognitive or neurological benefits.

Wow! Who knew there was so much to know about magnesium? Thanks doc, this is super helpful 😊

Soil is depleted of most nutrient and vitamins, and it’s not a new discovery. I began reading and hearing about it in 2001, and I’m sure there is evidence before that. Good source of supplements have become necessary to help with what are becoming chronic daily discomforts. Thank you for posting! It’s nice to hear it from a doctor. Be well!
