Magnesium & Kidney Disease: What you should know! 

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Happy it was helpful!

Our pleasure! So glad it's helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

Which form of magnesium, may I ask please?

@@SEaudiofan Exactly, which one?

Vital information your videos are literally saving lives I commend you both for your dedication toward sharing information on good kidney health.

Glad it was helpful!

So glad our episodes are helping! Lentils are a great plant protein and fiber source. Lentils contain a good amount of potassium (~365 mg per 1/2 cup cooked). So only thing to be mindful of is if you have a potassium restriction. You just want to make sure the portion and what they are consumed with fits individual potassium needs.

@@PlantBasedKidneyHealth I don't have CKD but I am on an ACE inhibitor for high BP. Yep, that means I need to be careful of food containing high potassium. I found out the hard way, and funny thing is that the doctor who prescribed the medication Never mentioned this!?🤔

@@gloriamaryhaywood2217what happens to your bp, if you don’t watch your potassium?

@@capcom4eva It's not really about something happening with my blood pressure. It's about having an unsafe amount of potassium in my blood. That can cause heart issues and even a heart attack!!

What stage are you in?

@@rationalsage1084 Stage 2b or perhaps 3.

@paulkabrna345 Hi How long you had the suppliments? Esp vitamin D3. Planning to have it but am lil worried whether it ll cause calcium deposits. Could you pls share your experience?

That's why the capsule also contains K2. Incidentally, taking D3 without Magnesium is not a good idea either.

what other areas besides kidney does it help you?

We don't have a video on that yet, but will make one! Thank you for the suggestion.

​@@PlantBasedKidneyHealththank you please talk about this issue. My mom has CKD3 and lately, as lady above mentioned, I started to worry about my mom thinking she's showing signs of dimentia

⁠@@raneem9325they need activated charcoal and get herbs to get all of that waste out. Your mom is chronically constipated. Get her clean. It starts in the digestive system

Hmmmm don't know of a specific RU-vid channel for kidney transplant unfortunately...will try to include more transplant specific topics on here though! What types of topics/areas of concern would you like to see more of??

@@PlantBasedKidneyHealth Perhaps it’s just a general question. Would most advice provide on living with kidney disease also apply to those that had renal transplants? For instance most of the advice provided on supplements like Vit K2, magnesium, Omega 3 etc… I’m particularly interested in supplementing with Créatine which your video (with supported studies) shows to be safe in the short and long term - does that include transplant patients? was just curious about more specific do/don’ts of you had a transplant (I do work with my practitioners). You have excellent content and it’s very well delivered. Your nutrient video on post transplant was fantastic.

I'm also kidney transplant patient....I'll suggest to go for transplant now before getting dialysis..

Get healthy nutrition informed

I just started taking this 200 2x a day and feel amazing but do feel discomfort in my stomach for a short while afterwards.

are stop taking it now? because your egfr went down instead of up.

I replace it with Niacin @@fiqfiq2388

Wow! That's crazy! Well I've always had a normal EGFR at 65 but my last blood work showed magnesium for the first time low at 1.4. I asked my doc could I take magnesium and she said yes 200 mg 2 capsules a day so we will see on my next Blood work but I feel amazing

​@@fiqfiq2388low EGFR is not good. The higher the better kidney function

@@god563616 65 is only a normal GFR if you're 90 or older.

We have that on our list to record an episode on!

When is that video coming? Hope that it is. Checking back as I too need this information.

I have read that Cordyseps militarus is better for kidney. Cordyseps sinensus is better for energy. Could maybe take both?

You want to check dosage with your doctor so they can individualize a rec for you!

Fat is your friend

Try Changka Piedra (Stone Breaker). They said it's good to break kidney stones and gallstones, you can buy them at Amazon

May I ask , are your kidneys improved after taking the magnesium?

Taurate is taurine

High doses of vitamin C, especially long term, is not recommended for people with kidney disease.

There are many different forms for different purposes (gastrointestinal, sleep, etc). You will want to check with your nephrologist to see which form is best for you. And make sure to have blood magnesium levels checked before (and during) supplementing with magnesium if you have kidney disease.

We do have our patients/clients get a serum magnesium done to see level and make individualized recommendations on diet and supplements.

This dr loves to air off his knowledge. Pls simple answer which magnesium to take

The best form of magnesium for someone to take will depend on what they are looking to use it for (sleep, bowel movements, migraines, etc).

You will want to check with your nephrologist whether you can supplement with magnesium or not! You can have them check your blood levels and go from there.

Methylene blue my friend did with red light.

That is within the normal range for magnesium.

Is there a test for magnessium?

www.thekidneydietitian.org is a great resource for kidney stones so I would refer to her page/blog posts. We will be having her on our channel soon too!

Lol just turn the volume down...

Hello! We can not provide individualized advice for patients as to whether they should or shouldn't take a supplement or not. There are a lot of uses of magnesium so we recommend discussing with your physician how you use it so they can look at the safety according to your labs, health history, and other meds/supplements you might be taking!
