Thank you very much for this video! I just started taking Magnesium one week ago. I bought the one with 500mg . Just seen the word magnesium and bought it. Glad 500mg isn’t too much .Thank you!😊❤
You're so welcome! Hope it helps!
I love magnesium. It's my miracle supplement. I have cystitis since I was a child. When I hit Peri years my cystitis flared up due to the lack of estrogen not protecting my bladder. Magnesium has helped so much for cystitis symptoms. I did not know that we needed the magnesium for calcium absorption. This would have helped my Mother during her post meno years.
Wow so great that you have found it helps so much! Yes it's so helpful post menopause too. So many people are deficient and it helps so many things!!
💕 thank you ma'am. Great topic chosen 👏
You're so welcome!
Fantastic information thank you ❤
You are so welcome!
Yes it does help me slow down, I bring my D3s and magnesium with me to work in a pill bottle, that way i always have them with me and can take it when I get to work. But I did hear taking it around bed times helps for sleep. I learned that here in fact, you have been sooooo helpful on my journey. Thank you.
Oh thank you I am so glad to hear that! Yes helpful to take them at work and night time does also help! Whatever you need in any given day. If your dose can be divided morning and night you could try doing both!
Gosh your videos are always perfectly timed, I have just started taking magnesium, started about three weeks ago and I do feel better, I still wake up a couple of times in the night due to heat, but I get back to sleep quickly, it has taken me around three weeks to see the benefits. Thank you so much for the videos I look forward to Mondays now xx
That's so great to hear!! Thank you for the really kind feedback, I am so glad you find the videos valuable :) Have you tried Menoforce for the hot flushes? One tablet at dinner can really helpful with night time flushes - www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/sage-tablets-menoforce/

Eat foods that have Magnesium like LENTILS: the other MEAT, Better than meat matter of fact. Lentils will help you to poop which then removes toxins and the bad estrogens from our colon and voila no brain fog. I also use Real Cacao powder: 71mg of magnesium per serving. I use 2 tbls of cacao and 8 oz of Soy Milk from Silk and have healthy hot chocolate for am and noon. It's so delicious and cheap lots of magnesium there ☺ you for your tips.
Great tips Nina, thank you!

Another great video. ❤ Thank you. I really like peanut butter and I read that it has magnesium in it. I read they are a good source of magnesium. I also like almonds. I eat the dark chocolate kind which also has magnesium as well. I am still staying away from the refined sugar.
Yep dark chocolate does have magnesium indeed! It can still be helpful to take a supplement as many of the food sources are lower than we think because even our soil is depleted of magnesium these days. So try a supplement too if you need some more support
Boron is essential for Calcium absorption. Thank you ladies for your advises.
You're welcome! Thanks for sharing that too!
I take now brand magnesium citrate soft gels. With glycinate and malate 👏
sounds great!
Thank you for this - can seniors still benefit from Magnesium supplementation for bone health and what type of magnesium?
Yes absolutely essential at any age. Flurodix liquid magnesium is great and easily absorbable and Terranova and PrizMag do lovely capsule supplements too if you prefer :)
What is the Dose recommended. I was told to take Magnesium & krill oil combined. For arthritis..?
Hi Irene
You can easily take up to 500mg of magnesium daily. Combined with krill is a good idea for the joints, so worth trying.

What type of magnesium should I take , what time of the day and how many miligrams?
Hi Vilma, you can get magnesium in our Menopause Support tablets - www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/soy-isoflavones/ and you take them whenever suits, but I do find taking magnesium at night can help with relaxation and sleep. You can take up to 500mg a day. If you are looking for a magnesium supplement on its own I recommend Floradix liquid magnesium, or Priz Mag magnesium glycinate.
I'm post menopause and I take magnesium it is ok to take mag while taking my bp maintenance?
Hi Rosel
There is usually no issue taking magnesium with BP meds but maybe just double check with your pharmacist.

How do you know if you’re magnesium deficient, please?
Ask your doctor to give you a blood test to check it.
Another vital vlog....very much timely and needed.....sleep has always been my issue if i do fall asleep its not for long....I do take magnisum on and off does help with relaxation and keeping me calm....Another informative vlog...thanks ladies it was well recieved.
Oh you're so welcome thank you for the lovely comment! Try taking the magnesium daily as it may help you get more regular sleep. Have you tried out Dormeasan tincture? You can take 30 drops, 30 minutes before bed and measure out another 30 drops to take when you wake up to help you get back to sleep! www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/valerian-hops-dormeasan/
@@AvogelCoUk Thanks for the advice...I have never heard of it but will find out more.thanks for the link.
@@islandgirl7281 Best of luck! If you have any questions just let us know :)
@@AvogelCoUk Does not appear item ships ouside of the uk and am not finding it on amazon....so my question is where do i get it ?
@@islandgirl7281 sorry, we can't send abroad but the product contains the herbs Valerian and Hops. You should be able to get Valerian on it's own as this is quite a common herb for sleep and it will be effective too.
Hi gm i'm taking menopace can i take the magnesium too thank you much.
Hi Dionne, check your menopace and see how much magnesium it already contains. I recommend 500mg a day. You can get Floradix to help make up the difference if you need more than the Menopace provides :)
How much magnesium is in one tablet of avogel menopause pill/tablet and what type of magnesium
@@lindajanekadirire7337 there is 56.7mg per tablet and we use tri-magnesium dicitrate anhydrous which is broken down into magnesium citrate in the digestion process
I heard high level of Vitamin D3 deplete magnesium. Is that true?
Well you need magnesium to activate vitamin D, hence if you have loads of vitamin D on board, your need for magnesium will ramp up. So if you are taking vitamin D it's a good idea to take magnesium too. And it's one of the reasons why it's good to get your vitamin D levels check with a blood test before supplementing with it. Hope this helps! :)
How about post menopause ? What kind ?
Hi Maria, Yes magnesium is absolutely essential post menopause too. Flurodix liquid magnesium is great and easily absorbable and Terranova and PrizMag do lovely capsule supplements too if you prefer :)
@@AvogelCoUk thank you.
When is the best time to take Magnesium supplement?
You can take in the morning for energy, or with meals, or at night time to help with relaxation and sleep. Depends on what you need! It can be good to spread the dose out throughout the day for best absorption too :)
Wouldn’t the magnesium effect the workday being that it has a calming, sleepy effect?
I tried magnesium but I started getting a thudding sound in my ear so did my husband. Do you know why that would happen
Perhaps ask the doctor to check both your magneisum and potassium levels
@@sagapoetic8990 will do thank you x
Yes agree with Saga Poetic, sounds like it would be good to check that one with your doctor. What type of magnesium supplement was it? I haven't heard of it doing that before!
I’m hoping citrate is a good magnesium and to help my symptoms of fibromyalgia as well
Hi Carolyn, yes magnesium citrate is great! It may also help your fibromyalgia. I can also recommend our Atrosan tablets for muscles aches and pains for the fibromyalgia too - www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/devils-claw-atrosan/
Omg I tried everything to fall asleep I take get her together health magnesium nothin working 😢
Try avocado
@@Abikhani you tried?
@@sophieahmad5706 yes i eaten everyday
@@Abikhani ! avacado in the eve weenever?sorry i tried everything !
Hi Sophie, have you tried out Dormeasan tincture? You can take 30 drops, 30 minutes before bed and measure out another 30 drops to take when you wake up to help you get back to sleep! www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/valerian-hops-dormeasan/ You can take this along with your magnesium.
I take a gummie twice a day. I’m wondering how much is too much,becauseI think I might need a third one.
500mg is a good amount during menopause!
@@AvogelCoUk OK, thanks. I'm not over that. I never thought about it before I saw your video. Thanks for keeping us ladies informed!
@@karenhackney9920 you're welcome!
Best way for me is Epsom salt baths.
Great tip Nicola, thank you!
