4:59 The earliest sign of a magnesium deficiency
Today, I’m going to share 22 signs of a magnesium deficiency. Sixty percent of magnesium is in the bone, 20% is in the muscle, 19% is in the soft tissue, and 1% is in the blood.
Magnesium deficiency is the most overlooked deficiency because it cannot be detected by a blood test.
The top causes of magnesium deficiency include:
• Consumption of sugar and refined carbs
• Alcohol consumption
• Cirrhosis of the liver
• NPK fertilizer leads to crops that are low in magnesium
• Malabsorption from gut inflammation
• Diuretics
• PPIs
• Gastric bypass surgery
• Low vitamin D
• Inflammation
Diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease are all associated with low magnesium.
The best sources of magnesium are leafy greens, almonds, and dark chocolate, but some of these foods contain oxalates. Oxalates block the absorption of magnesium. Meat, cheese, and shellfish contain magnesium and do not contain oxalates.
Here are 22 surprising signs of magnesium deficiency:
• Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Depression
• Migraines
• Restless legs syndrome
• Muscle cramps
• Fatigue
• Tourette's syndrome
• Oxidative cholesterol
• High homocysteine levels
• High blood pressure
• Calcification of the arteries
• Arrhythmias
• Stroke
• Metabolic syndrome
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome
• Kidney stones
• Higher levels of calcium in the blood
• Inflammation
• Nystagmus
• Asthma
Neuromuscular excitability, or tetany, is the number 1 earliest sign of a magnesium deficiency. Tetany is a twitching of the muscles, often affecting the left eye.
Magnesium is required for proper nerve function. When you’re deficient, the nerves become more excited, leading to faster nerve impulses.

Glad I could help!
I remember shopping for bacon and a pound of leafy greens at a grocery store one day. I paid for my food and said, “Thank you, Sir!” Only to be yelled at by another employee screaming, “That’s not a guy. It’s a woman with a beard who is suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome!” I hope this video reaches them. Much appreciated, Dr. Berg! Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! 🙂
Sad but funny!
😂😂
that’s a them problem, not a you thing though 🙂
Wow, how uncalled for…
Wouldn’t we all love a work colleague like that!😂
Dr Berg’s next video should be on the first sign of polycystic ovarian syndrome. Spoiler, it’s the beard.
The one it happened to me you didn’t mention: water retention! Once I increased magnesium my face went back to normal and is not bloating anymore
Wow. Never cease to be amazed by this gentleman/Dr 💗
Dr berg has changed every aspect of
my nutritional health for the better! Words cannot describe how grateful I am for people like Dr berg exist, thank you! 🙏
Yesterday i was thinking that i need to eat more magnesium rich foods, today Dr. Berg published this video. This man really knows what his followers need.
Love you Dr. Berg❤ thanks for everything
Too funny…. I take Mag in my coffee every morning (Organika ‘Relax Enhanced)))
Just before bed last night, I decided to give myself a well needed TLC Epsom Salt bath after using my pumice,…. Slept like a newborn 🤗
He’s always reading my mind and making videos on things that I think about lol
There are no magnesium rich foods except for chocolate. Magnesium disappeared from the US soils back in the 1930s due to over-farming. It has never been replaced. Chocolate is the only plant food that has magnesium because it is grown overseas. You pretty much have to get it from epsom salt baths, magnesium oil or pills. The oil rubbed on the soles of the feet and the Epsom salts are much more effective than the pills.

Writing this down
So glad I have found your channel, really trying to recover my health after years of neglect due to severe depression. Presentation style is so easy to listen to, very pleasant early morning with some decaf tea… I got my mum taking magnesium citrate and stop taking her high blood pressure meds. After 39 years of high blood pressure, it has now dropped to normal levels and she feels better. Just starting mushroom complex on top of vitamin b, c and d… minerals magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc with a low dose of shilajet. I’ve not even had a common cold for over 4 years and i have not had a vaccine since 2000 which was only to move to America before i was an adult and had my own choice.
I’m in the hospital right now for flu and when I was admitted through the ER they gave me two rounds of magnesium IV. Helped a lot with my breathing.
From Philippines love to hear from him as always❤. THANKS Doc. ERIC👍🙏
Even when I think one of Dr. Berg’s videos does not pertain to me, it pertains to me!
Most helpful and genuine doctor on the internet .🙏
And here I thought I knew a lot. Until dr berg drops something new and I learn something new.
I used to have severe depression and anxiety. Discovering Magnesium was a life changer.
One of the reasons I trust what you say is that you look and sound so well and healthy and you are looking better and better with age. Always appreciate your videos 😀👍
