Dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me atm you can stream all of the latest series on Instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last few weeks =)
Funny. I just starting taking high dose of Vitamin D. I introduced Magnesium supplements into my routine at the same time for a totally different reason. It's reassuring to know they work in synergy rather the other way.
Eric, great info, best doctor on internet for me. Retired Airline Pilot from the Middle East. Retired in Thailand, Male, 76 years young! Long history of kidney stones, living in hot humid climate, poor quality water. Since your video’s now taking Magnesium supplement from Germany, tablet,dissolves 😢 in water. Notice feel less tired, eye sight slight improvement, short term memory loss improves, feel more energetic. Also take Vitamin D plus calcium supliment which diolves in water to drink. Thanks for great videos. I am a fan, subscribed long ago.
I think I discovered this by accident just last week. Towards the end of the month I'm pretty broke. Did a lot of frozen white Castle sliders but was taking Vit D to keep autoimmune in remission. I started feeling body pain, fatigue & constipated. I caught up by having 2 T Citrate of Magnesium in OACV water for a few days and felt better. Going to plan better. Thank you! Life is a balancing act.
Wow. I had been tested for low vit D and Iron. Dr prescribed me vit D 2 40,000iu weekly. I purchased vit D 3 40,000iu and took it weekly. While I felt great, I started having leg cramping, especially at night and muscle spasms. I looked it up and it pointed at low mag. I just purchased mag yesterday at whole foods. I feel smart. 🤓
I have vit D deficiency, consider to take D3 5000 iu daily, and if you have bone problems or weak bones take it with k2(mk4) not (mk7) I WANT TO UPDATE, MK7 IS BETTER TO TAKE WITH D3, MK7 (150-300 mcg) because the chain is longer than mk4, so it takes more time to be consumed, while mk4 is faster to be consumed, so if anyone decided to take mk4 he needs to take 5 mg dailly, which is alot, so D3 + k2 mk7 is efficient.
Barby Dailey come on Dr. Berg give us an amount, you have to at this time be specific, or don’t do the video, it’s frustrating, we don’t need anymore frustration, and also thank you for all you do regardless
relax folks, he says right at the beginning it's good to get a high amount of vitamin D, just get magnesium in your diet too by eating lots of vegetables. taking vitamin D supplements or getting a lot of sun means you're getting a high amount. it isn't that hard.
100k?! how did you arrive to that amount? how much k2 do you take? I don't mean to sound rude, I'm genuinely curious about the benefits/risks of megadosing vit D
@@Knowan Around 3000 UI (75Mcg) of D3 daily is what you should take for like 8 weeks when defficiënt. Don't overdose yourself and get a bloodtest to see if its really necessary. I also won't recommend taking in too much K2 like 50mcg is enough. 400MG Magnesium daily is what you should be looking at.
This is legit. I took vitamin d 10000 iu a day for months and started getting symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Shortness of breath, fatigue, weakness, nausea. Then I started taking a quality magnesium supplement and my symptoms improved
With me I took a lot of vitamin D I got a magnesium depleted and I got sore muscles and muscle twiching and neurapathy in feet and fingers. Thanks doc!!
Dr Berg, the foods that are high in magnesium are also high in oxalates. In this video you say lack of magnesium can cause kidney stones, but in videos on kidney stones, you say to avoid those foods. Should we eat them, or not?
Good info Doc! I take 5000 iu vitamin D and 200 mg magnesium glycinate, each 3 times a day along with about 50 percent of my diet being veggies. Feeling good!
Bathing in Epsom salts is a great way of getting magnesium as trans dermal absorption of mg is very efficient. Bath or foot bath with a cup of Epsom salts in warm water every night for a good sleep and to keep your Mg levels up.
I was taking a magnesium supplement and it effected an Electrocardiogram (EKG) that I had at my VA hospital. The warning read: "Sinus rhythm with 1st degree AV block". My doctor said my PR interval was 210 ms when the range is 120 to 200 ms. He said that magnesium can slow down a PR heart interval but that it wasn't a major concern being close to the normal range.
I really recommend Jigsaw Magnesium. They are amazing people and it’s a time released one that actually reduced some neuropathy pain and helped some other issues after almost dying last year. I messaged them and said I couldn’t afford the $30 bottle but asked if it would help my situation, I’d get some the next month. They sent me a free bottle in response to that. Have to say, I felt way better with it than without. So...trying to figure out then what a proper vitamin D dosage would be.
Screw the ratio, obviously you can't go over 1000mg of magnesium a day, just don't go overboard with vitamin D (stay under 10K IU if supplementing, don't worry about the sun)
Wow that explains the pains I’ve been feeling threw out my veins . Took high dose of vitamin d because I was at 23 . Got it up to 75 then my pains starts in my joints as well keep going for blood work everything is fine .magnesium it is thank dr burg !! Gone my dr over and over says I’m super healthy but I don’t feel healthy
Hi Dr Berg. Came across this video and would like to thank you. I am taking vit d3 as I have very low levels . I take 1 capsule of 20,000 iu a month and 4,000 iu daily so it appears I need to take magnesium with it. Strange my own GP didn’t say this. Thanks again and best wishes
Very true. Was prescribed 50,000 IU for an alleged deficiency.. & almost had a heart attack. I had developed difficulty breathing & gained random weight from my body attempting to store the excess D. My doc said she wouldn’t recommend taking anything along with vitamin D. Just do it alone.. so so crazy. It lowered my immune system & I caught pneumonia from a random toddler. Don’t make the same mistake guys.
Thank you Dr. Berg, for this vid. The side effects I get from taking high doses of vitd3 are dizziness, headaches and worsens the ringing in my ear. Now I started taking it with magnesium it seems to help me. Bless you and your family. Stay safe and healthy.
The same for me i was taking 50k iu of vitamin d3 alone and i can't sleep now, i did some lab tests my vitamin d is fine and my calcium is fine so i stopped taking vitamin d3 and still can't sleep well, guess i will supplement with magnesium alone
Im going to guess with the rda being low...maybe 2000iu? 3000? But i head some people are taking megadoses like 20k..😬 i worry about those folk as their stress is likely up and leaving them susceptible rather than calming their jets and focusing on the foods they eat. My pennies..dont touch them cuz its dirty money 👀😷😬
@@dana102083 in other videos the doctor recommends 40000 IU's of vitamin D3 along with 400 mcg's of k2. I've been taking that ratio for about 2 years. I added 400 mg of magnesium to alleviate early morning leg cramps.
From watching all his other videos you first need to go to the doctor and ask to have your blood tested, then see what your levels of d are. Then do more online research in conjunction with conversations with your doctor to determine how much d you can or should take and for how long. Also, balance the d with other complementary supplements but only in the correct dosages. As you can see this is simple.
I had a severe Vitamin D poisoning 4-5 years ago. I misunderstood the dosage and took around 6 times more than my doctor prescribed. Worst time of my life, lost weight because i had constant nausea, was having frequent panic attacks. So please first get your levels and then take the amount prescribed.
45 when we realized that i had the vit d amounts overdosed my doctor asked me to stop taking food which is rich in calcium. After a few weeks vit d and calcium turned back to normal amounts🙏🏼Never taking anymore any vitamins without first getting it measured or trying to get things in small amounts for longer period.
To anyone that is asking what is too high, he reccomended up to 10,000 iu's in prior videos for people who dont get much sunlight. However you also need to take 100 mcg (micrograms) of vitamin k2 as it is a transporter of vitamin d. People who get more sunlight need less.
HUGE QUESTION!!! I have researched AGAIN how ascorbic acid is made. I watched a orthomolecular drs podcast (just released in 3 parts) that addresses ascorbic acid if it’s really vit C. He says yes. I know I’ve read it’s corn syrup or cornstarch (gmo) from China and sulphuric acid. Made by only one company in New Jersey and sold to supplement companies in bulk. It works (no doubt) bc one it’s acid and viruses, bacteria fungus do not live in acid but it draws from the body what it needs to assimilate. So that being said why are they insisting it is??? I know he is well versed and references Linus Pauling ...but for the life of me can’t figure out why he says this?? There has to be a explanation. PLEASE DR BERG ADDRESS THIS WITH A VIDEO. Which and what forms to take Ascorbic acid, L-ascorbic acid, ascorbate, ascorbigen , what C.....???? Natural C as well. Plz
You just did a video recommending 30,000 IUs of Vitamin D but did not mention that it could deplete Magnesium..... THEREFORE..... ??????????? My confusion and overwhelm has now topped out. Can't watch anymore videos.
It is hard getting consistent with veggies! Especially that I get bored of the taste not because there is too much. Like spinach I like it but there is really few recipes that are not fancy.
400mg mag at night, maybe 500mg, doesnt increase as vitD increases. 5000IU vitD in morning, use cod liver oil for some of it, along with butter concentrate oil
Same here. I know if has videos on a lot of things but in these trying time, he could have put it right now in this video. Most people are worried and scared. But we still love you Dr Berg!
Thank you so much Dr.Berg. I was wondering if you could also make a video about the master cleanse. Can you please educate us on the pros and cons of the master cleanse, because I have been contemplating whether or not to attempt this, before starting my keto (and intermittent) journey?
I lost most of my electrolytes a few months ago from excessive sweating while going for runs while working out. I had all the symptoms of heart palpitations, dizziness, weakness, migraine etc. Because I wasn't drinking Gatorade and wasn't putting any electrolytes in my body while I was running a lot of sweating. Long story short, after I figured out the electrolyte problem, I started to feel better the same day little by little by drinking Gatorade and other electrolyte healthy drinks. But I noticed my headache and weakness/fatigue kept coming back, so much so that I had a headache and fatigue for 1 month straight!followed by muscle twitching. I realized magnesium is a type of electrolyte which can also be lost through excessive sweating. No doctor told me any of this and UA-cam literally saved my life and by doing research. So I've been on the road to recovery now for a little over 2 months. I would highly suggest transdermal magnesium. Essentially magnesium bath flakes, similar to Epsom salts. It's way faster so it goes right through your skin. I've been taking all sorts of magnesium since.
Quick queston, wouldn't taking too much magnesium indeed prevent calcium build ups in the arteries, but wouldn't we get magnesium stones and magnesium calcification instead of calcium stones?
to clarify, 5.000-10.000 IU is the recommended daily dose to maintain a good Vit D status whereas 20.000 IU is the maximum daily dose a Vit D deficient person should take to build up blood serum levels but not longer than a month. Going beyond 20.000 a day is contraproductive as it makes the body destroy the active Vit D form (OH 1.25) in larger quantities. Lots of information on the internet available.
This is important knowledge! I find i need more Magnesium via supplementation than vitamin d personally, I didn't do great on larger doses of vitamin D.
@@dana102083 to be honest it was difficult to isolate my problem, but it seemed to interfere with my sleep patterns taking 6000iu (increased steadily from 1000iu when I started). My sleep was already a bit messed up, possibly stress, possibly vitamin d interfering with melatonin production. When I searched for the issue online I came across many instances of people on a forum run by a doctor, talking about sleep being interrupted by too much vitamin D BUT every time somebody mentioned it the response from the Dr. was related to vitamin d causing lower levels of magnesium. So I increased Magnesium supplementation to 375mg per day vs 250, and my sleep is more consistent than it's been in a while with additional help from a noise machine, diet is already super healthy and I chase magnesium rich foods. I still take 2000iu of vitamin d and some from cod liver oil, but even when my D levels were below normal I had great immunity already. So ultimately if im being totally transparent, it's hard to say if all my issues were vitamin d related, but I'm of the mindset that I'm not benefitting from higher levels of vitamin d supplements so I'll keep it low, it's a powerful supplement.
Dr Berg: Question: So if you HAVE been taking high dose vit D (and K2) plus have a terribly un-nutricious diet (in my case due to not being able to cope due to severe, chronic illnesses/pain for the past 29 yrs, plus 3 yrs of having severe depression and zero appetite from blood pressure tablets), how much elemental Magnesium should you take per day? I've dabbled with Magnesium for pain, in the past (to no avail) , but I am soooo ill, it's nigh impossible for me to take supplements regularly. I've JUST started Magnesium citrate 480mg elemental Magnesium per day, but should I take more?
Very important and informative video Dr Berg thanks 🙏 🌺👍 could you please advise regarding safest way of communicating vegetables? Some recommend vinegar and salt and others recommend using baking soda, please confirm 🙏🌷🌿💕
Soils have little mag in them anymore. So while there should be that much in OVER A HALF CUP pepitas, theres just not. And no one wants to eat half a cup of seeds.
What's high or low for one person is fine for someone else. It's up to you to find out what your boundaries are. Your health is in your hands. He can only give you a general guide.
Hi.. great video! Didn't know that... How high is high for vitamin D3?? Since the corona scare I have been forced to cut down on my veggies.... I normally eat a LOT.... but access to the greens and other veggies has been very for difficult for me.
Ever since thyroidectomy 12/2009, they had me on calcium and vit d supplement. 47 now and having all kinds of issues. A couple times have felt close to death. Trying to get it all figured out, but sure can get confusing.
How the heck do you measure a cup of spinach? Is it based on chopped spinach heavily shoved into a 1-cup measure? Or maybe full sized leaves folded and placed neatly by overlapping like Pringles chips are stored? Or, ground up into fine powder and poured into the cup? Hmmmm...
I have been experiencing muscle twitching for 5 months now. I thought it was an electrolyte imbalance but it's not. I should cut my Vitamin D3 now and increase my Magnesium intake. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
How much Magnesium do you need per 1000 IU of vitamin D (D3)? I can't find any ratio information backed by research ANYWHERE on the internet. I have read over 30 papers and my eyes are crossed.
Your thumbnail looked like this might be related to headaches? I am a 48 year old female going into menopause I have had just started having issues with excessive menstruating for 3 weeks and getting headaches in my temples, over my forehead and at the base of the back of my skull/top of neck! Can this be related to magnesium? And how much should I take? Thanks
Damn, everything affects everything.
One thing depletes another, it's hard to keep track on all.
It’s not that serious just drink a kale shake take nutritional yeast and d3/k2

You just did a video recommending 30,000 IUs of Vitamin D but did not mention that it could deplete Magnesium..... THEREFORE..... ??????????? My confusion and overwhelm has now topped out. Can't watch anymore videos.
I rarely eat enough veggies, but when I do, I definitely feel better.
It is hard getting consistent with veggies! Especially that I get bored of the taste not because there is too much. Like spinach I like it but there is really few recipes that are not fancy.
Thanks for this essential info
What is the D3 to Magnesium ratio?
Thank you doc and God bless you!
We need some numbers as to what is high vitamin D and what ratio of D to magnesium we need. This feels rushed , sorry.
Same thinking and I luv Dr. B. But somewhat lackinnnng here. I dnt like reference to other vids. Spill it here!
400mg mag at night, maybe 500mg, doesnt increase as vitD increases.
5000IU vitD in morning, use cod liver oil for some of it, along with butter concentrate oil
@@YeshuaKingMessiah 400 mg Mag Glycinate and 50 mg P5P form of b6 at bedtime. Take your Vit D with Breakfast.
Same here. I know if has videos on a lot of things but in these trying time, he could have put it right now in this video. Most people are worried and scared. But we still love you Dr Berg!
I don't yhink he cand do that. Every body is different and people can auto-medicate.
How do we know what dosage to take ...there are so many?
Thank you so much Dr.Berg. I was wondering if you could also make a video about the master cleanse. Can you please educate us on the pros and cons of the master cleanse, because I have been contemplating whether or not to attempt this, before starting my keto (and intermittent) journey?
How much is enough? I’ve been taking 2000 mcg of D3w/K2, so how much magnesium do I need? Love Dr Berg but his advice on D3 has always confused me.
Thank you for the upload.
D. berg💕you are the honest doctor in The world 💝
I take 10,000 IU if Vitamin D and 100 mcg K1, 100mcg K2-MK7, 25 mcg K2-MK4 every day! I might lower it in the summer if I go outside more.
The man!! Thanks, Doc.👊🏿
What are high amounts of vitamin D?
10 000 iu
@@astudentofhistory6520 You get way more than that being out in sun in Spring/Summer for 15 mins even
dr berg recommends 20,000iu per day to counter problems so it should be higher than that
@@fidelcatsro6948 Does he? Which video?
@@Anw4rr10r search you tube "dr berg vitamin d"
Thank you, very informative :)
Wow! Low magnesium is probably the cause of my monthly headaches!
I lost most of my electrolytes a few months ago from excessive sweating while going for runs while working out. I had all the symptoms of heart palpitations, dizziness, weakness, migraine etc. Because I wasn't drinking Gatorade and wasn't putting any electrolytes in my body while I was running a lot of sweating.
Long story short, after I figured out the electrolyte problem, I started to feel better the same day little by little by drinking Gatorade and other electrolyte healthy drinks. But I noticed my headache and weakness/fatigue kept coming back, so much so that I had a headache and fatigue for 1 month straight!followed by muscle twitching. I realized magnesium is a type of electrolyte which can also be lost through excessive sweating. No doctor told me any of this and UA-cam literally saved my life and by doing research. So I've been on the road to recovery now for a little over 2 months. I would highly suggest transdermal magnesium. Essentially magnesium bath flakes, similar to Epsom salts. It's way faster so it goes right through your skin. I've been taking all sorts of magnesium since.
how much magnesium should be taken with 10,000 IU of VitD3?
Thank you for the reminder!!!
Quick queston, wouldn't taking too much magnesium indeed prevent calcium build ups in the arteries, but wouldn't we get magnesium stones and magnesium calcification instead of calcium stones?
to clarify, 5.000-10.000 IU is the recommended daily dose to maintain a good Vit D status whereas 20.000 IU is the maximum daily dose a Vit D deficient person should take to build up blood serum levels but not longer than a month. Going beyond 20.000 a day is contraproductive as it makes the body destroy the active Vit D form (OH 1.25) in larger quantities. Lots of information on the internet available.
This is important knowledge! I find i need more Magnesium via supplementation than vitamin d personally, I didn't do great on larger doses of vitamin D.
dr berg has green veggie solution one spoon equals 3 cups of greens
What did an increased dose of vit d do to you? I take 4 or 5k a day with no plans of increasing.
@@dana102083 to be honest it was difficult to isolate my problem, but it seemed to interfere with my sleep patterns taking 6000iu (increased steadily from 1000iu when I started). My sleep was already a bit messed up, possibly stress, possibly vitamin d interfering with melatonin production. When I searched for the issue online I came across many instances of people on a forum run by a doctor, talking about sleep being interrupted by too much vitamin D BUT every time somebody mentioned it the response from the Dr. was related to vitamin d causing lower levels of magnesium. So I increased Magnesium supplementation to 375mg per day vs 250, and my sleep is more consistent than it's been in a while with additional help from a noise machine, diet is already super healthy and I chase magnesium rich foods. I still take 2000iu of vitamin d and some from cod liver oil, but even when my D levels were below normal I had great immunity already. So ultimately if im being totally transparent, it's hard to say if all my issues were vitamin d related, but I'm of the mindset that I'm not benefitting from higher levels of vitamin d supplements so I'll keep it low, it's a powerful supplement.
Ben Julian hopefully you take your D3 supplement in the morning. Look into taking magnesium glycinate at night for better sleep.
Dr Berg: Question:
So if you HAVE been taking high dose vit D (and K2) plus have a terribly un-nutricious diet (in my case due to not being able to cope due to severe, chronic illnesses/pain for the past 29 yrs, plus 3 yrs of having severe depression and zero appetite from blood pressure tablets), how much elemental Magnesium should you take per day? I've dabbled with Magnesium for pain, in the past (to no avail) , but I am soooo ill, it's nigh impossible for me to take supplements regularly.
I've JUST started Magnesium citrate 480mg elemental Magnesium per day, but should I take more?
Very important and informative video Dr Berg thanks 🙏 🌺👍 could you please advise regarding safest way of communicating vegetables? Some recommend vinegar and salt and others recommend using baking soda, please confirm 🙏🌷🌿💕
You also need k2 if d is high amount
dayly magnesium 450mg = 9 table spoon of pepitas
Soils have little mag in them anymore. So while there should be that much in OVER A HALF CUP pepitas, theres just not. And no one wants to eat half a cup of seeds.
So what is a low, moderate and high dose of Vita D? I actually knew you wouldn't define it--so I shut down video--saw in comments you didn't.
What's high or low for one person is fine for someone else. It's up to you to find out what your boundaries are. Your health is in your hands. He can only give you a general guide.
Peggy Genoway the doc has loads of other videos on vit D where he covers this
Hi.. great video! Didn't know that...
How high is high for vitamin D3??
Since the corona scare I have been forced to cut down on my veggies.... I normally eat a LOT.... but access to the greens and other veggies has been very for difficult for me.
What kind of magnesium we should take?
Hi Dr Eric berg, could you please explain the MVP(mitral valve prolapse) and natural solution to overcome this problem.
Thanks can you make a video on tips and suppliment for keeping healthy kidneys.
I love you Dr. Berg you're amazing, what do you consider high doses?
Ever since thyroidectomy 12/2009, they had me on calcium and vit d supplement. 47 now and having all kinds of issues. A couple times have felt close to death. Trying to get it all figured out, but sure can get confusing.
I told my doctor if vitamin d3 decreases magnesium and he said no. The guy is only there for the pay.
Doctors need to learn to say "I don't know" sometimes rather than making up an answer to seem all knowing
Thanks for this informative video
Why did you stop talking about kale so much? Is there something wrong with it now?
Does it matter which magnesium your taking? There are many. Which type
What about Epsom salts baths, Is this a faster way to absorb Magnesium?
How the heck do you measure a cup of spinach? Is it based on chopped spinach heavily shoved into a 1-cup measure? Or maybe full sized leaves folded and placed neatly by overlapping like Pringles chips are stored? Or, ground up into fine powder and poured into the cup? Hmmmm...
I think he meant cooked/wilted spinach then probably u will be eating 16 cups of dry spinach in this case. So confusing 😂
I have been experiencing muscle twitching for 5 months now.
I thought it was an electrolyte imbalance but it's not.
I should cut my Vitamin D3 now and increase my Magnesium intake.
Thank you, Dr. Berg.
Well it is because magenosum is a electroylte
How much D supplement were you taking? And how about your diet for the past 5 months?
I'm getting eyelid/eyebrow , and nose muscle twitching...I knew it had to be something
Twitchings anywhere can be magnesium deficiency
How much Magnesium do you need per 1000 IU of vitamin D (D3)? I can't find any ratio information backed by research ANYWHERE on the internet. I have read over 30 papers and my eyes are crossed.

What are you considering a high dose of d3? I take 5000 IU of D3 but also 800 mg magnesium glycinate.
I think you are good, in addition to great diet. I take K2 with my D3.
@@Definitely_Someone only take 400 now.
What form of magnesium should i take in supplement? I don't eat vegetables enough. Is magnesium citrate good or bad?
Thank you Dr. Berg...you have helped me with one more than you know. 🤩 THANK YOU 🌈🥰
Thank you doctor Berg.
Your thumbnail looked like this might be related to headaches? I am a 48 year old female going into menopause I have had just started having issues with excessive menstruating for 3 weeks and getting headaches in my temples, over my forehead and at the base of the back of my skull/top of neck! Can this be related to magnesium? And how much should I take? Thanks
Eat vegetables under the sun at noon. Problem solved.
Lol
Would that explain leg / foot cramps then?
Yes, one of the main symptoms of mg deficiencies!
Cramp Defense is my go-to magnesium supplement for preventing leg cramps. 4 caps a day work for me.
does your wheatgrass juice powder include all these nutrients?
