Often, people don't fully understand that there are many different forms of magnesium and those different forms behave differently in the body. Magnesium is an amazing supplement IF USED PROPERLY.
Today's video was designed to help you understand what magnesium is used for, whether or not you need it, and what form of magnesium is best for your unique needs.

Dr Robin! (…may I call you that? ☺️). You are just terrific! I’m 71 years young (😆), 11 months into remission from stage 2B HER2+ breast cancer and am doing actually, pretty great! I’m physically very active: gardening, kayaking, hiking, e-biking, weight training…more so after my 17+ month battle with cancer… I’ve got an excellent naturopathic NP monitoring and advising me how to stay cancer-free. I’ve found a treasure trove of nutritional/herbal information (geared specifically for my cancer subtype) on the internet and I’ve been learning loads about supplements, specifically ones that block any number of metabolic pathways that cancer can use.. Your presentations are so clear, concise and informative…you’re a doll! I look forward to learning more from you.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re taking your health into your own hands and learning so much!
Watched again and took notes. I have been taking the oxide form and have been getting lose stool and did not know about the difference. THANK YOU. In addition, since absorption was part of the discussion, and since you requested we suggest topics for learning, I am suggesting that bioavailability of natural or supplemental nutrition as a function of age and gender also be taught in a separate video. Everyone thinks that a tomato eaten by an 18 year old, for example has the same effects as when a 60 year old may have the same tomato, and it is not the same. Same is true for all vitamins and minerals as well as fats, probably. So, please consider an enlightening video on the topic of age and gender dependent bioavailability of nutrition. Thanks.😊
That is a very good idea for an episode! Thank you so much for the helpful feedback :)
@@dr.robinlewis I look forward to the episode. It might also be beneficial to address importance of activity levels in the absorption success. I came up with this thought one day sitting in a plane watching all the metabolically ill people boarding the plane: "if we drove as mindfully as we eat we would have to drive without car insurance because we could not be insured" :) We tend to know a lot more about our cars than about our own physiology and how it interacts with the world.
And yet again a great wealth of information thank you for sharing this knowledge from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks for another super helpful video! You should have WAY more subscribers. I hope you soon do!
Thank you so much! That’s so kind of you to say ❤️
Fantastic video, thank you.
You’re welcome!
👍,your voice is fine. it’s funny how far our self perception is from reality. Great information on types of Mg. thank you!❤️🙏🏻
Isn’t that the truth! We are always our own worse critic 🙂 You’re welcome
Thank you - very informative.
You’re welcome!
Excellent info!!
Thank you!
Great video. I learned some things even having researched Mg pretty well last year. Don’t think I knew being very active burns through a lot of Mg, along with stress using more your Mg. I started supplementing last year in April to combat leg cramps during sleep after starting Keto.
I was using Mg Glycinate up until about a month ago. I switched to Bisglycinate tabs and powder so glad you confirmed my switch was wise.
I also added Potassium to my protocol after looking at my micronutrients more closely and realizing I was 1k-2k mgs short of the 4,500 mgs I want to get daily. Even though I eat about 1.5 lbs of beef daily w lots of broccoli, Brussel sprouts, and avocados a weekly..I’m still falling short. So supplementing to help close that gap. Maybe you can do a video on Potassium in the future? I have a ton of recommendations if you’re interested. :)
Anyway, great video. I’ll be checking out some more. ✌️
I’m so glad you learned something! That’s a great idea for a video. Thank you for the great idea :)
Great video, magnesium is so important to good health! I bought some magnesium L-threonate and it suggests taking it an hour before bedtime. Does that sound reasonable?
Definitely!
I find I sleep better but find it harder to wake up in the AM. Maybe I need to take it 1-2 hours before bedtime. Or only take a half dose before bed
Enjoyed listening to this weeks video. For the future should the public buy Trulicity 1.5mg/0.5ml solution for injection or similar to loose weight for the summer?
Hope you recover from the sore throat/ cold
and get better soon

Hi Doctor Robin, could you please share which brand that is not too expensive would you recommend?!
Natural Factors is Canadian brand do you think it's a good brand?! Greatly appreciated 🙏
Can you do one for zinc too ?
Thanks
Absolutely! ❤️
Thanks
You’re welcome!
What if you are interested in taking multiple forms of magnesium? Are their supplements that include multiple forms in 1 supplement? What supplement brands would you recommend?
I actually don’t use combination products so I don’t have a brand to recommend there but I general I get my magnesium products from companies like Designs for health, Thorne, cytomatrix, canprev, NHF, and some of the other professional brands. Each of these companies will usually have multiple forms of magnesium depending on what you want it for.
What vitamins and minerals need to be chelated for absorption?
It’s not necessary for any of them but usually helps absorption of many types of minerals such as magnesium and zinc.
Hot Organic Lemon
Spring Water. With a Small amount of
Raw Honey. Use Lots Of Whole Lemons in a Blender. 🙂
❤️
How do you feel about Magnesium Taurate for cardio and cognitive health?
Absolutely, they essentially have added the amino acid taurine to the magnesium and taurine is very important for the health of both of those systems!
In other words I think it’s a good form of magnesium
Cam magnesium help with nausea in first trimester of pregnancy?
It can. It doesn’t help everyone but it’s certainly a safe nutrient to try out ❤️
Psychotropics also deplete magnesium.
Great point, thanks for watching!
The most expensive one is the worst product
