Low magnesium (Hypomagnesemia) | Causes, Symptoms, Treatment | & Role of Magnesium, Dietary Sources

when i just started training in 2018 i actually got depressed from the workouts i didn't know what was going on. turns out my electrolytes were completly out of balance (sodium, magnesium, potassium) one time i stood up out of bed and my vision blacked out and i fell down on my knee. electrolytes are so important for athletes and clean eaters. put some seasalt on your food if you dont eat processed. load up on vegetables low in anti nutrients (anti nutrients bind to vitamins and minerals and take them out of the body) to get magnesium & potassium. magnesium citrate supplements give me the shits. magnesium glycinate and l-threonate are the best > l-threonate seems to be good for brain health also

My deficiency causes skeletal muscles spasms like never before. When muscle starts to pull it twist and bends my fingers into forearms moves to feet to calf’s the same then rib muscles cramp all over like that. Magnesium saved me so far. Learned way late suffered for yrs. before.

Very informative

Thank you so much for the great lesson.🙏🏾😍

I like to see this speaker near the bathroom taking Mg Oxide. The oxide will tear your stomach up leaving you with very weak muscle, weak legs, foggy brain and painful stomach lining. My doctor said I need 600 Mg. I try and was so weak brought the glycinate form.

Thanks for making this

Magnesium Oxide has poor absorption. Citrate and stearate are laxative and decreases. I take Threonate and glycinate, I feel better.

highly informative, thank you!

I am one medical student from china， thank you so much for your presentation，keep on that.

I recently had a lot of sprain inury.... so I began taking magnesium supplement. Suddenly, my digestion improved dramatically. Muscle soreness and pain seems to be gone faster. Can too low magnesium actually lead to easy muscle sprain? Or I was just lifting too heavy and too many repetition?

Mag helps my dizziness and sphincter of oddi dysfunction

why suppement with magnesium oxide? what about citrate and malate and chelated which are much better than oxide!

magnesium oxide? that doesn’t seem right. in fact, opposite of what they say about magnesium oxide because it promotes diarrhea, and then you’ll loose even more magnesium. could you explain why you selected oxide over gluconate or glycinate which are both know for being less likely to cause diarrhea. these are not my findings, i’m only reiterating.

Can this issue cause many bathroom breaks at night? You I have to P at night?

That blood pressure thing is always a problem for me. If you have a patient like me who is low on magnesium they will constantly ask you to take the cuff off.

I took nexium for over 20 years and now in my early 50s I have issues with idiopathic neuropathy in both feet brain fog depression and some anxiety and it's getting tough to just through the day...wonder if I'm having issues with low magnesium...my blood work says I'm fine but magnesium is not tested. Help

So far I know magnesium glycinate is the best , than citrate & others, not oxide.

@J J medicine, could you talk about what minerals that could cause HAE?

Why oxide? Thank you!

I wonder if someone has hypomagnesemia if they could build muscle because of the impaired protein synthesis.
