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.

He is a life saver.
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 💗

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.
Thank you Dr. Berg – this is the most comprehensive, yet concise, description of the importance of magnesium. I recently bought your Magnesium Citrate capsules at 400mg each. (most brands only provide a little over 100 mg) I combine that with Magnesium Glycinate and Threonate daily. The RDA is only 450 but Dr. Peter Attia and some other researchers recommend up to 1000 mg per day. I know you’ve done videos on types of magnesium but would love for you to do an addendum to this to link to those videos and also talk about dosages.
Great idea!
😮 I’m always learning here! Thank you Dr Berg for all of your research and advice. ❤
Those are the exact symptoms I had before I started taking magnesium. I had no idea that I was severely deficient in it. Thank you Dr. Berg for educating us
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!
