Let’s talk about the unique benefits of magnesium glycinate. Magnesium is involved in over 300 different enzymes and comes in a lot of different forms.

Magnesium glycinate is a combination of magnesium and the amino acid glycine. This combination increases absorption in the intestine. Magnesium oxide, sulfate, carbonate, and hydroxide are all poorly absorbed.

Magnesium glycinate is also very gentle on your stomach and is less likely to cause diarrhea, like other forms of magnesium can.

Top benefits of magnesium glycinate:
• It promotes overall relaxation and muscle relaxation
• It supports sleep and may help with insomnia
• It improves energy during the day
• It supports healthy blood pressure
• It regulates calcium
• It reduces the risk of kidney stones
• It increases insulin sensitivity and promotes healthy blood sugar
• It may help with migraines
• It may help with depression and anxiety
• It may help reduce stress

To increase the absorption even more, find a magnesium glycinate supplement that also contains vitamin D3 and vitamin B6.

You can take magnesium glycinate with or without food. The best time to take this form of magnesium is right before bed. However, taking it at other times of the day won’t make you feel tired, just relaxed. Consider taking between 100 mg to 400 mg daily, depending on the severity of the issue.

Taking high amounts of magnesium glycinate over time may lead to slightly lower blood pressure or contribute to diarrhea. Also, keep in mind that magnesium glycinate may interfere with certain medications.

To get more magnesium in your diet, start consuming more leafy green vegetables.

I take an all in one triple complex magnesium which contains malate, glycinate and citrate. Has reduced my heart palpitations by 95%. Truly has made a huge difference.

[milelie]

I love that your videos are short. No long winded pontificating. You cut to the chase. Love the info and love the delivery.

[MSally]

I take a triple magnesium and 500mg glycine because you talked about all the benefits before. I used to have to take Xanax, Zoloft and Lunesta all at the same time for panic attacks. Now I take none of that crap! Been off them for over four years!!! 🙌🙌🙌

Magnesium changed my life. I had debilitating insomnia and anxiety, and would almost always be awake for several days straight with literally 0 minutes of sleep before finally passing out 16+ hours. Desperate, I went to a naturopathic doctor who told me to go on a low histamine diet and supplement with magnesium. Within one month I began sleeping restfully every night, and my anxiety nearly completely disappeared. It’s been several years, and I still take magnesium every day, enjoying these same benefits.

I'm working out really hard, 6 days a week and used to get severe cramps in the abdominal muscles. I've been taking Mg Bisglycinate 200mg for 40 days now and indeed no single cramp, no diarrhea, no sleep problems. 100% accurate video from personal experience.

[melodycheng]

Thank you Dr. Berg as always!!! And thank you for the information, especially on dosage and time to take in the video. That’s really helpful!

[ivyfeenix]

This form of magnesium is what ive been taking for the past few years and it drastically improved my health.

[delmaquezada]

I'm so glad I saw this video, Doctor. I wanted to take magnesium but knew little about it. You're so informative. You're like the encyclopedia of nutrition. Thank you

[manicmind]

I take it everyday for anxiety and depression. Can definitely tell if I don't take it for a few days

[curlyvseedstar]

You guessed! I have been looking for information about that and here you are the most trustworthy person out there 🎉thanks!

[JordanCatchC]

Thank you for making a video over this, I had to learn about the functions of each magnesium myself and I also found this to be the best magnesium.

[Lorrieonline]

Wonderful topic!! I take both the citrate and the glycinate. I take 800 mg of each with no ill effects. Been taking citrate version for years and years. Once it was in my system, the nocturnal Charley horses subsided. Oxide is the one most available at all the stores though and I don't touch that one.

[brownzinny]

You are indeed a real Dr, i have been taking magnesium glycinate for sometime now because of stomch issues and it is so good .

[jonathanarthur]

This advice is "primo". I have personally experienced such an improvement regarding many of the symptoms discussed in this video. Thank you Dr. are a blessing!

[anabelehn]

Good info. FYI, other source that we find easily in France, is Argile. It's an extract from the ground, it's used for beauty a lot, but as a therapist, i use it for magnesium too. The Green Argile coming from region of Provence in south France. It's a good source to heal all sort of things: gut inflammation, gastritis, antifungal, antidiarrhea, détox, it's full in electrolyte so I use it for fatigue as well, etc. Etc. The Green one is full with absorbable magnesium, but there are several types: red one good for ion decencies, white one for severe diarrhea, etc. Etc. Thank you. Hannature.

[AussieAngeS]

Thank you so much Dr Berg for your constant knowledgeable videos. Much appreciated
