Signs and Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency 

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW REAL DOCTORS SUPPOSE TO BE, HELPFUL AND EXPLANATORY!! THANKS DOC!!

Dr. Osborne almost debunked the entire pharma industry. What a great video.

Suffered with migraines for decades. So sick today. Just showed up in my Feed and I watched. Thank you God for this show today at the right time and thank you Dr for an understandable presentation. 🙏🌻

Brilliant - I have had awful night cramps for years and was desperately researching anything that could help me- I came across your lecture and I noticed I was a dead ringer for every single one of your "flags" for magnesium deficiency. I went to my local pharmacist and have been taking supplements for just a few weeks and I feel like a different person. Sincere thanks.

Usually I don't watch these types of videos, but this Dr. had my attention from the beginning, I have magnesium deficiency and my PCP never took the time to explain the possible causes. This video explains everything to me. Thank you.

I'm a teacher by trade and the key to understanding anything is the quality of the instructor. This Doctor, has taken the complex and made it understandable to anyone! this info is absolutely life changing. I began the magnesium supplements and so many things have changed. Why my physician does not know these things is beyond me...I am grateful for coming across this information.

wow eleven years ago I was so sick and run down back then real bad I don't have the words to express how thankful i am to people like this man for sharing their knowledge for health i am still not well because i probably need professional help to complete but i am worlds better

1 chronic stress due to a work-a-day culture in which bosses are never happy, and underlings are not allowed to do anything right. 2 a culture that favors coffee and alcohol. 3 high-processed low-nutrition food 4 prescription drug epidemic yep, this is AmeriKa, straight up.

Thanks for a great video. You didn't mention that due to intensive farming methods, most of the soil is deficient in magnesium, so that even if one eats plenty of leafy greens, broccoli etc, one is probably not getting enough from food.

A Doctor talking some sense and joined up thinking ... very rare in my experience.

You have given us more knowledge than any Dr. we've ever had! So keep up the helpful work. THANK YOU!

Dr Osborne I'm so pleased I've found you on RU-vid!! Never had any medical professional explain anything so concisely before. Most doctors follow guidelines which just help the pharmaceutical companies get richer. Please please keep making more video's! Thank you so much 💃

I'd been suffering for years with unexplained muscle spasms, feeling fatigued during the day for seemingly no reason, lacked concentration when I needed it...the list goes on. I thought I was eating healthy but probably just not getting enough Mg. I tried high strength Magnesium supplements the other day and felt like I had the energy and positivity of a young child again. I'd also been down that road of medications and stimulants to help me but never benefited from any of it. If anything, it made me feel worse. This video is awesome and I hope many people watch it so they can improve their health significantly like I did.

This doc taught me more in 10 minutes and 41 seconds than any doctor taught me in 41 freaking years. I've suffered from anxiety so long, got better, and then it came back. Did any doc suggest magnesium might be the problem? No. They want to make a Mercedes payment off my bs anxiety, so they want to throw meds at me and get kickbacks. Every single time I said "NO MEDS. NO." And they look at me with DISGUST. As if I'm a lunatic because I don't want to be drugged. All this time I've been punishing myself because I don't want to go on meds for this horse crap. And all along all they wanted was the kickbacks! Do yourselves a favor and research your area and see if there are disclosures for local doctors getting kickbacks from prescription medications and handing them out like candy! Look up Physicians Kickbacks Pharmaceuticals and Propublica has a website you can put your doctors name in and see what meds he gets extra money to push. I believe this is for USA, but look up your own areas.

I'm supplementing with Magnesium and Zinc, eating lots of nuts and seeds... I'm feeling much better

Dr. Osborne, great video, good information. You may want to mention hypertension (high blood pressure) and magnesium deficiency, in fact Mg. is quite possibly the most important mineral when it comes to heart health. What about how fantastic it is for fatigue, for kidney stone prevention, to stone calcium precipitation (angina, hardening of the aryeries, etc), and a host of other actions such as insomnia, for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, etc, etc. Magnesium gives more "bang for your buck" than all those fancy new dietary supplements that companies promote every day. Most ALL persons reading this who have elevated blood pressure - take 400 - 600 milligrams of Magnesium Taurate and watch what happens. You'll be glad you did.

Just wanted to say thank you. Although not a medical professional it seems to me that it's obvious you are very well informed and this video illustrates perfectly something I've been trying to explain to my mother ... A former RN, now suffering from several conditions. That being specifically that so many Doctors now fail to bother correctly diagnosing a patient and simply write prescription after prescription (often with serious side effects) and allow patients to continue to decline. Rather than getting to the core of the problem and curing it. Sidenote: Not that there aren't tons of great, knowledgeable and ethical healthcare professionals sharing their insights, like yourself imo. Thanks again.

Totally agree with stress making you magnesium deficit

This is exactly what I want to ear: Fixing the causes and not the effects. I really appreciate your explanations. Thank you!

Thank You very much Dr. Osborne for sharing all of this with us. A good percentage of your colleagues just prescribe medicines while we can solve some of our problems with just a simple mineral supplement. I take Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt) from six months, I dissolve 15 grams in one liter of water and I drink a glass a day, an intake of around 1,5 grams daily. I got rid of Zoloft since its side effects were causing me alteration in blood sugar level, high triglycerides, sudden attack of hunger, craving for sugar, cramps, and other. Drinking every day water with Epsom Salt my anxiety is disappeared, so my panic attacks, my blood sugar is back to normal, I feel better, I feel new. Thank you again for taking your time and share your knowledge on the web.

Good video, magnesium deficiency deserves a whole series of these videos.

One whiteboard to map my entire life's story in ten minutes. What a revelation. Thank you, Dr Osborne.

He is 100% Correct, research it. I have a small retirement community behind me at home & I watch the same old retired lady walk daily in the evening & night early dusk-dark, in her 70's-80's I presume who looks quite a bit younger than most all that live there. more fit & healthy than most of Any retirees any a lot of younger people too I have seen. She will literally walk at least 10 laps around the whole building premises like clockwork 30 -60mins, and she is quite peppy & still drives hew own car etc. She has a vitality in her step. She was talking to her friends one day overheard them talking about drinking water everyday with a small teaspoon of apple cider vinegar daily, eating fruits, vegetables from small organic gardening etc. & how she is an advocate of her daily vitamins etc. She is a true testament to a lesson in health believe me. Also watch & cutback your sugar intake, a huge problem as well, check into videos youtube search ihealthtube and other videos as well.

It's my understanding that the liver filters out 80% of magnesium taken orally. The best way to get high doses of magnesium is to make your own magnesium oil and use it transdermally, on the skin. 80% will go straight to the blood stream without stressing the liver. It is an incredible muscle relaxer and good for depression and anxiety. It relieved the muscle splinting I've had for 30 years that no medication or physical therapy could touch. I couldn't move my head at all, now I'm gaining range of motion I haven't had since I was a child. It also decalcifies the blood brain barrier allowing nutrition to reach the brain cells again. I'm sharper than ever, also with the help of coconut oil which has the same 3 fatty acids that are in mothers milk and is being shown to reverse Alziemers, Dimentia and to treat PTSD and ADHD. It's also being used with autistic children. See Dr Sircus' videos on you tube.

What are best supplements of magnesium? There are more than 10 types of supplements of Magnesium. I’m currently consuming Magnesium Glycinate 400mg. Is there a certain supplement of Magnesium to start regulating levels?

I started taking ZMA and within like 3 days I was sleeping better and felt more relaxed than I did in a long time. I drink 2 cups of coffee a day and drink about a 6 pack once a week if that. Not a lot of stress at work. But I could feel like I was needing this stuff. Glad I figured it out. I also take 50 mgs of DHEA. Another game changer..

Awesome vid, Dr. Osborne. I hope this video reaches so many people as supplementing magnesium has been a life-saver for me. I was having a host of health issues including borderline depression and it wasn't until I started supplementing with magnesium that all those issues disappeared. I'm not a big fan of doctors (no offense); because in my personal esperience, the first thing they all seem to want to do is put me on perscription meds. However, fortunately I was able to diagnose myself via mutliple websites, based on my symptoms. Based on my research, it was extremely likely that I was deficient in magnesium, so I thought what do I have to lose and started supplementing magnesium into my diet. One thing I will mention is that the form of magnesium you use is key, as the first type of magnesium just gave me diarrhea and didn't really alleviate my problems. The form I eventually found that works the best is magnesium malate, which is a form with malic acid (which is the acid found in fruits such as apples - which I now wonder is a reason for the old saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away"). Anyhow, the brand I use is Jigsaw Magnesium w/SRT, which you can find on Amazon. The stuff is awesome, it's a 'slow-release' formula and has helped me to feel like a new man or better yet, my old self again! I hope this helps someone else in their struggle to find improved health! Take care.

I was on two different high blood pressure meds until recently I started using Frank's and Louisiana hot sauce with every meal. Suddenly the doctor had to take me off all BP medications and my BP is about 120/54. Two years ago without Norvasc and Metropolol my natural BP was 210/90. I have quit eating fast food, am cooking at home in my air fryer and my instant Pot pressure cooker instead of frying everything. I quit loading up on bread and pasta, and make batches of cauliflower, green beans and whatever is in the vegetable bin for dinner with my buritto loaded with onion, garlic and the hot sauce. I am researching nutrition and how vitamins and minerals interact and found your videos very helpful. 😊😊🌼🌼🌼🌼🌸🌸🌸🌸❤❤❤❤

I drink 2 cups of coffee a day and had all of these symptoms. I've also had nail pits and they're finally fading after 10 years. I didn't know where my problems came from. I've visited 4 doctors who couldn't help. A simple bottle of magnesium just got rid of all the symptoms listed in this video including my brain fog and memory problems.

What supplements would you suggest to a perimenapausal woman?

wow, what a great video, this is very helpful, thanks a lot to take the time and share doctor, congratulaciones u r doing a great job by informing people best ways to get healthy without so many drugs!

what a wonderful way to explain body's dependency on MG. Thank you doctor, very much!!

i like him. he is a good speaker. very smart. thank you

I enjoyed the video and find it informative. As a teacher, I would suggest thet you use a larger whiteboard and plan the diagram ahead.

This was excellent!! Lately I have been suffering severe anxiety and muscle twitching. I'm wondering if magnesium deficiency is the problem. Thanks to Monsanto, they have depleted the soil, made GMO crops, etc. that take the magnesium out of our food supply leading to the medical conditions you mentioned (and more!) While I will make dietary adjustments, topical magnesium may help if I'm deficient.

Dr.P.Osborne makes a lot of sense in explaining how magnesium deficiency links up to a whole lot of problems. Thank you so much.

This is a great vid! I just wish the doc would have told more about the signs and symptoms. Before I started taking mag pills every day I had REALLY weird stuf going on - like my eyes wouldn't open all the way (without using my fingers I mean), an actual scarey kind of sleepiness/tiredness that just never would go away, slow reaction time, terrible balance, fear of hights, and it was physically very difficult to think. Just hoping this might help other people who need to solve a magnesium problem but don't know it yet.

I can't thank you enough for sharing this informative video. My doctor is giving me until Feb. 22nd to get my blood pressure down or I'll be put on blood pressure medication. I already stopped alcohol, caffeine, greasy foods, and can goods. Today, I bought Magnesium 500mg Tabs. I don't feel stressed out, and depressed anymore. Actually I'm quite happy, and losing weight at the same time. Thanks Again. :)

Thank you Dr.Osbourne. The world needs more doctors like you.

What kind of magnesium should we take? Citrate, glycinate, etc....? Thank you.

I think the more subtle magnesium deficiency symptoms sometimes are the ones really resonate with people suffering the odd symptoms. Anxiety is the one major symptom I suffered. With magnesium at a minimum I had nothing to buffer adrenalin so my heart would beat out of my chest when I did things simple things like bid last minute on an Ebay item. My social anxiety was getting worse and worse to the point I avoided interaction. While my anxiety was the most psychologically torturous... the magnesium deficiency MIGRAINE was physically the worst pain it caused. After years of suffering them they disappeared when I began supplementing magnesium. Also, I thought for years that just sitting at the computer was what caused the pain along the base of my neck and along my shoulders and down under my shoulder blades but once I reversed the magnesium deficiency I don't get that pain anymore. Magnesium deficiency causes sensitive hearing and exaggerated startle response. Muscle twitching and the need to go to the chiropractor often with me was a result of muscle spasms pulling my spine out of alignment. Ironically it was my Chiropractor...Dr. Bedice, that spotted my magnesium deficiency and handed me a bottle of Magnesium Glycinate. It was life changing! I no longer have to see him once or twice a month but I'm indebted to him for thinking outside the box and being generous with his advice and his help. Google "magnesium deficiency symptoms" and read up! You'd be amazed at the far reaching symptoms... the vasoconstriction it causes can lead to premature ejaculation... according the the University of Maryland!

I accidentally clicked on this video and almost clicked away, but I stayed and I'm glad I did because I was able to relate to the symptoms and now I seriously suspect that I have a magnesium deficiency. Thank you for an informative and helpful video Dr. Osborne!!

l-tryptophan + magnesium taken together is great for the mood you feel happy and up beat for obvious reasons. Typtophan is converted to serotonin but requires magnesium for the process.

What kind of magnesium supplement should one be taking?

GOD BLESS YOU MAN!!! I suffer from insomnia, could that be one of the side effects of Mg deficiency??? Thank You!

This is one of the best and most informative videos of magnesium deficiency I have yet to watch!

Hello Dr. Osborne! Great informative, easy to follow video!!! I had no clue how important Magnesium was, your video helps explain a lot of my health issues! God bless, take care, and thank you!

Thank you! What are the best forms of Magnesium Peter? I would definitely add tea as a diuretic also it’s often overlooked….

Great stuff, Dr. Osborne. Very grateful for all the insight you have shared. Thanks.

Someone give him an award! Thumbs up, Doc!

Great information, and very helpful with the chart showing the links. As the doctor stated - "chasing your tail" with taking medications as a "fix" will not resolve the issue of what caused the problem. The Doctor is excellent on talking in layman terms about how we need to all take control of our own health issues; pay attention; and change our lifestyles. Awesome video!

Is magnesium okay to take if you are treating gastritis or will it effect it?

Magnesium works people. I've had remarkable success with it. Don't use Oxide, Aspartate or Glutamate. I can't take SSRIs. Magnesium depletion left me Diabetic, with gout, muscle spasms, chest pains, anxiety, high blood pressure, anxious and depressed. I can't believe that so many people don't know about this!

This was an extremely valuable lesson on magnesium....thank you so much! What vitamin would you suggest. Some one told me not to just take magnesium....that I needed to take calcium and K2 with it as well....what do you recommend? Cher

None of the professors from my medicine university explained their students something like this. You are a really MASTER - thank you so much! It is unbelivable how the medical system intentionally simply forget that the natural elements of the body have to be given before prescribing medical pills. I know and they know for sure - in lots of cases it won't even be necessary to prescribe medical pills. THE SAD TRUTH! FIRST, GIVE THE BODY WHAT HE NEEDS!

Thank you for such a thorough explanation of how and why calcium deficiencies occur. It was informative,comprehensive, and in lamenistic terminology. I look forward to seeing more of your videos Thanks again, Fredrick Fowler

Thank you Dr. Osborne to let know us how important is Magnesium to keep healthy. I'm taking medications for High blood pressure since 2001, and I think, this is one the causes for my magnesium deficiencies in my body. I was checking about nuts and seeds are an excellent source of magnesium. therefore, I already add them to my daily meals.

thanks for providing this video. i have muscle spasms regularly , and have other symptoms mentioned. i am wondering what is a good magnesium source.

Wow this is so beautiful and important for my life. Thank you Dr. Osborne!!

How would you describe the effects of a Magnesium deficiency on the body RE: Cramping in the calves/legs during long distance walking (distances of greater than 30km in one walk)? I have cramps at no other times and recently ran 5km in 21:50 and can lunge walk 2:30 and rest 1:00 X 4. I am just trying to make small changes to my lifestyle/diet in preparation for a 100km/24hr in 3 weeks. Urgent advice required. BTW: Best health video!

Is this real ?? I can`t believe it, do the guys who make meds know this ? or they know and don`t even care? Do doctors even think ?

Thank you so much!! This explains SO MUCH!! Dr's are really not our friends. 😢

Foods highest in magnesium: Swiss chard Spinach Beet greens Kale Okra zucchini navy beans Stop whining and eat your greens, you big babies!

The more i watch this guy the more i like him! He really presents information in a concise and easy to understand way especially if you are curious about a deficiency.

Excellent presentation, very helpful information

Thank you for taking the time to post this on RU-vid. It's very much appreciated.

Besides spelling deficiency wrong, Doctor ;) I liked your detailed presentation. It would have been more beneficial to suggest some solutions or suggestions on how to reduce magnesium deficiency? Are supplements available or do you recommend a special diet? Maybe you can create part 2 video?

Thank you so much. That was very helpful. How much supplement should I take?

Thank you very much for your most helpful video.

You did that really well! I try to talk to ppl about these types of things, but you did this in a way that ppl can understand better!

Thank YOU for that awesome eye-opener. One that leaves me with very mixed feelings about my trusted doctor. Why doesn't it occur to our own GP's to run the Spectro-cell test? ...without us having to 'find you', hear about this and only then need to request it. We are sadly being prescribed into a hellish circle of supposed maintenance. It really is a world of us funding the big pharmaceutical companies, with little thought to addressing our underlying issues and plans towards our actual betterment.

Dr Osborne, which foods contain magnesium in bio available form? I take magnesium oxide as a supplement with food to help stop nighttime leg cramps. Yet, I still do experience involuntary muscle twitching.

THANK YOU. VERY INFORMATIVE............

9:25 “you’re miserable in your marriage” 😅 man, I miss this type of off-3nsive speech nowadays, and ofc the truth about proper eating and improper “treatments “. God bless you, Dr. Peter

THANKS FOR SUCH AN INFORMATIVE LECTURE

Doc is there a good test for magnesium ?

Pumpkin seeds are a great source of magnesium; you need just 100gr / day.

What s the recommended dosage to take?

very very informative video. Thanks.

I find magnesium helps with anxiety management and stress reduction in persons with Autism

What legit degree can I enroll myself to teach others on what are you teaching? I love ❤️ all these topics you are teaching and I love helping others too. Thanks for all the true info very appreciated.

Wow! you are a true genius! God Bless you! and thank you!!

Wow! Thank you Doctor ! Your probably saving several peoples lives including mine!

very good might explain some of my depression

i have high amount of stress due to school work,I drink cup of tea, a energy drink most days, a moderate carb diet and i have had muscle spasm just under my shoulder on my back. so thank you for the advice

Great video

Which ones absorb the best? I picked up Magnesium Malate today on a recommendation. But I heard Citrate is also good.

It's funny I found out about magnesium from a local pharmacy who recommended it as a muscle relaxant for insomnia which I used to suffer from time to time. After I started taking it I was surprised the stress, tiredness and occasional anxiety I used to put up with for years all went away.

You did a great job of explaining a complex topic. Thank you.

Ha, muscle spasm. That's great he mentions that. I went to taking magnesium supplements because of other reasons but I did have a twitchy muscle right beneath my eye which hasn't twitched since I started taking the supplement. Amazing how much one mineral can influence your health.

Simply amazing. I'm a new subscriber. I looooove your videos. Thank you!

This video is amazingly important

What's the best type of magnesium for hypertension, food sensitivities, leaky gut, gastritis?

finally i found a real doctor

I live in Canada, which magnesium do you recommend as I can’t order your product. Thank you

Thank you! magnesium supplements changed my life

Hey I am totally impressed at your skill with a whiteboard as well as with the information you have cnveyed. Well done

Very good information but I have a problem. How do you get a Dr to do the RIGHT test? I've asked several of my Drs, begged actually, for the magnesium test [not serum blood test] . You called it something else but I have heard it is the RBC test. You said it at the end but I think it is very important to stress that more. I can't find one Dr who knows what I am talking about ! I tell them that 1% of your magnesium is in the blood so a blood test is not accurate .I've copy info from internet even.Dr told me to stop looking on the internet and trust my Dr. Yea I almost died from doing that! One Dr laughed at me and said there is no difference between the tests. What can I do to get a Dr to listen. I have burning feet, numb hands, depression, burning tongue, sore muscles , tired alot, high calcium levels.

Omg I am sOOO thankful for this information. I was out of bed due toe a painful toe cramp.
