Today, we’re going to talk about the #1 nutrient deficiency involved with mitral valve prolapse syndrome. If you have mitral valve prolapse, your heart valves are not opening and closing correctly.

Mitral valve prolapse causes floppy, leaky valves that are large and bulging. This bulging, displaced tissue is called prolapse, which leads to inefficient heart pumping.

Mitral valve prolapse symptoms include weakness, fatigue, palpitations, anxiety, and shortness of breath. It’s often described as idiopathic, which means it has no known cause. Mitral valve prolapse is generally treated with beta-blockers or a calcium channel blocker.

In a double-blind study, 141 subjects with mitral valve prolapse were compared to 40 healthy subjects. Sixty percent of the mitral valve prolapse group had magnesium deficiency compared to only 5% of the healthy subjects.

Low magnesium leads to high adrenaline. It also accelerates the aging of the fibroblast cell, which helps you make collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. As we age, the fibroblast cell is very important for our skin, ligaments, tendons, and valves.

One of the first signs of magnesium deficiency is tetany. Surprisingly, 85% of people with mitral valve prolapse have tetany!

Don’t just rely on the RDA if you’re deficient in magnesium. Try taking 400 mg 2 to 3 times a day, working up to this amount slowly. Also, ensure you’re getting enough vitamin D. Magnesium won’t work without vitamin D!

Avoid sugar and refined carbs because they significantly decrease magnesium.

It takes years for a magnesium deficiency to show up and it can take up to a year to correct. Try magnesium glycinate to increase your magnesium levels over time.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you understand how increasing magnesium may help improve mitral valve prolapse. I’ll see you in the next video.

This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health.
He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way.
I just love learning from his simple to understand videos.. I respect this man immensely. 👍👍👍

No cardiologists ever talked about this. Thank you Dr Berg for saving people from taking chemical medications 😇

I’ve been diagnosed with MVP about 15 years ago due to symptoms of irregular hearbeat, chest pain, back pain and random high pulse. The cardiologist said I may have been born with it. I’m 45. Just keep monitoring it. I went later 2 more times to the ER, wore Holter monitor etc. All symptoms were due to MVP. I started taking Magnesium gylicinate regularly about 5 years ago before bed (400 mg) for leg cramps and a more relaxed sleep. I had a very detailed heart ultrasound about 3 years ago and they could not find my prolapse. It’s no longer there. Nobody knew what happened… Now, I think this may have been due to Magnesium…

[thisandthat]

Thanks... i figured this out myself, seriously, years ago. I started taking mag glycinate and it absolutely changed my life - it took many months but it was life changing.

I Mega Dosed Magnesium Citrate and Magnesium Glycinate for 2 years. Before I was able to reduce my intake, and now I’m bringing up Potassium. 60% of our Magnesium is stored in the bones, 20% in our muscles. It takes awhile for it to be absorbed. I was in pain for a decade, now I’m nearly pain free.

I was told I had a heart attack in January 2021, now three years later- after taking medication I didn’t need, acute hepatitis from statin, ! I recently had a heart of 222bpm and after a lot of scans- tests ( after going private)told I have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.. so after watching yourself and others iv started magnesium, vit d3 and k2, potassium tumeric and ginger for the rheumatoid arthritis, and electrolytes..I’m probably gonna need a second mortgage with all these supplements but I’m starting feel more human - Thanks God & Dr Berg 🙏

Omgosh!!! I was diagnosed with MVP at age 18, I have been under the care of a cardiologist since, I am now 66. I had an ablation in 2002 and it’s helped my wacky, chaotic heartbeat mostly. But several years ago my heart started beating irregularly (significantly) again. So my Dr had me wear 24 hour heart monitor, again. I had 13, 532 IRREGULAR heart beats in 24 hours, my Dr put me on beta blocker but it really didn’t make that big of a difference in the irregularity and it made me light headed so I quit taking it. My daughter read about Magnesium so I started taking it, 2 years later when I wore the heart monitor I had 98 irregular When my Dr called he said this is remarkable, the beta blocker is doing its job to which I replied I am not taking that I am taking magnesium! There was a silent pause and then he said, we’ll keep doing it! But it doesn’t stop there, he started listening harder for the click, it was getting fainter!!!
Btw… I do take vitamin D3 but recently ordered your Vit D3 combo!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I've trained in functional medicine over a decade and just wanted to point something out here that Dr. Berg said. He said you NEED vitamin D in order for magnesium to work when in reality, YOU NEED magnesium in order for vitamin D to work. If you are taking vitamin D or getting it through sunlight, you could deplete your magnesium stores and cause a host of problems unless you are taking it with magnesium as well. Not only that, but you need K2 to prevent calcium from getting stored in soft tissues as vitamin D taken alone could increase this risk. One example that happened to me here recently. I started getting 10-15 minutes per day of sunlight and by the 3rd day I noticed my sleep was terrible. I also noticed I felt more anxious. Why is that? Because as I stated above, YOUR BODY needs magnesium to activate vitamin D and by me getting more vitamin D through sunlight, I basically was in a deficit because I have not been taking that much magnesium. I knew the problem right away and increased my magnesium intake and it fixed it almost immediately.

Fascinating!! Even as a Cardiac Sonographer, I did not know this & will be curious to know the magnesium intake of my patients or if recommended. Sometimes I just see the posterior leaflet as I describe it as a “Mild Bowing without frank prolapse” and could very well mean they are just in lack of magnesium. Thank you!!

[gillian]

I take magnesium for leg and foot cramps. At first, I took it just before bed. At first it was ok, then my eyes pinged open and I stopped sleeping. I saw a video that said this can happen with some people. Hu? Mostly I've see Magnesium gives good sleep. Not me...
So now I take it during the day. It still stops the muscle cramps but I sleep normally.
Just thought I'd post this in case anyone else has had this issue and not seen the video I did (or anything similar)
Thank you Doc, God bless you and yours 🙏

I was diagnosed with MVP 20 years ago. Over the years I’ve gotten smarter about how to take care of my body. I’ve been taking magnesium and vitamin D religiously for at least 10 years. Recently I thought I needed to follow up on how my MVP was doing since I hadn’t had it checked out in over a decade. My cardiologist did all the same tests that originally diagnosed my MVP, but couldn’t find any sign of it! I was even symptomatic back in the day, but feel no signs of it now. I feel better at 49 than I did in my 20’s.

Thanks for this video. I was diagnosed with this heart weakness in an echocardiogram. But no one described me how to overcome it. All the symptoms you mentioned were there and as I have watched your video magnesium deficiency, I ate dates, bananas and felt better but since last 3, 4 days, I skipped and again feeling low, fatigued and lower back pain with shortness of breath and tiredness. After watching your video, I will find magnesium glycinate now.

I've been taking Magnesium for about 3 months now. I was getting very breathless, fatigued and had that annoying eye twitch. Over the past few days I've noticed I'm not so breathless so it looks like the Magnesium is beginning to work. I also take zinc and selenium. My fingernails are now much stronger. I don't eat junk, over-processed food and make all our meals from scratch plus do all my own baking. I don't like the weird chemicals put into store bought food. I was taught to cook and bake from a very early age. I even make my own chocolate and sweets (we call candies sweets in the UK). That way I know what's in it and can regulate the amount of sugar myself as I don't like anything that's over sweet.

I've been taking Magnesium twice a day for years to help my MVP symptoms. It helps!

[irishvallejos]

Thank you Dr.Berg. I needed this. I was diagnosed with MVP last April 2023. You and your videos are such a blessing to us.

[CoDisafishy]

My right eye has been twitching for about 6 months and now for the last two weeks, I've had heart palpitations and get out of breath during those. I've been monitoring it to make sure it doesn't get worse, but hopefully this helps. If it does, this video came at the perfect time and is a blessing.

[cashflowinvestor]

Thank you Dr. Berg. Been taking magnesium glycerinate every day for several months. The reduction in anxiety and heart palpitations has been substantial.

[brendarudman]

Ive got all those symptoms!!!😮
Yesterday, my heart started again, beating erratically

[joshtutor]

Instant click...I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse about 15-20 years ago and I believe it has caused many issues since then...I started taking magnesium glycinate about a month ago but apparently I need to up the dosage and add vitamin D...I can tell it's helped with cramps and spams but I'd really like to fix the prolapse if possible...I hope it works...Thanks for info...This would be a huge relief mentally and physically. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I'm an echocardiogram technician and I always wondered if there were any natural remedies to treat valvular disease.
