Let’s talk about magnesium and vitamin D. About 75 percent of the population has low vitamin D levels, and 45 percent have low magnesium levels.

All of the enzymes involved in converting vitamin D to the active form depend on magnesium. Vitamin D won’t work in the body if you have a magnesium deficiency.

Vitamin D is vitally important for the body, and it’s crucial to do what you can to avoid a vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamin D also supports the absorption of magnesium. Vitamin D and magnesium work synergistically.

Vitamin D and magnesium are also important to support the absorption and regulation of calcium. Magnesium helps prevent calcium from building up in your arteries.

The body needs about twice as much calcium as magnesium. But many people are actually getting about three times as much calcium as magnesium.

Having excess calcium with a magnesium deficiency can lead to serious side effects, including cancer.

Thankfully, the solution is simple. You need to increase magnesium by consuming magnesium-rich foods, like leafy greens.

    Thank you so much Doctor Berg. Your information is always useful for everyone. ❤❤❤❤❤

  • Modern Ramayan says:

    Dr of all health conscious people. Dr of people across the world.
    Thank you Dr. Berg.

  • Michelle Cherie KJV says:

    Thank you …l started Keto 25 days ago and have been feeling terrible….Havent dropped all the water weight that l have before starting Keto. Only lost 10 lbs…but l am off insulin….sugars down. 💥

    • Dana T says:

      Take some potassium for the water retention.

    • Veronica Hinojosa says:

      10 lbs is great. Keep going good luck. Yeah you probably need electrolytes. I felt so bad too but honestly the electrolytes are a must. I use Dr Berg great

    • Ade Larsen says:

      Keep going. Make sure you food is totally free of Seed Oils, Sugars, Carbs and Processed Products. Perhaps eat more fatty red meat. And get quality salt. And get sunshine and good sleep.

    • John Philpott and says:

      Yeah it’s a really slow process for some of us. My water bloating was largely due too excessive stress I believe. But also like with the other comments,dirty keto and clean keto are worlds apart. Zero sugar and zero processed anything are key.

    • Anamee says:

      @Dana TConsider 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar (potassium tartrate), morning + evening.

  • Bombey Brian says:

    I can stop thanking Sir,
    you are quite a blessing
    to the world Dr.Berg💖

  • Calum says:

    Thanks Dr. Berg for these insightful videos. I think it would be super beneficial for all of us if you made a long hour or so video that covers all the essentials to optimal health. Sometimes the sheer amount of videos you have makes it difficult to know exactly what the average person should be doing everyday in terms of supplementation/diet/sleep.

  • Naveenkumar M says:

    Forever grateful for your existence Dr.Berg. You have single-handedly changed our perspective on nutrition. Have started taking magnesium and vitamin d supplements coz of you.

  • Peter Freytag says:

    Dr Berg, you are absolutely awesome! Thank you very much for your insights.

  • CN says:

    Just scored 2 pounds of Wild Caught Shrimp, 4 pounds of No Sugar Bacon, a dozen eggs, and even got a couple of Lemons for $100.00 🎉 VICTORY!! Have a great day, Dr. Berg! 🙂

  • a1waystreet says:

    Thanks Dr. Berg you are such an amazing wealth of medical information. I really appreciate the vitamin videos✌️

  • Joseph Burns says:

    Dr. Berg, thank you for helping me to get my life back on track from all of my bad eating habits in the past. I have been following you on YouTube for a couple of years now. Your knowledge on nutrition is real proof that it works, if followed correctly!

  • Donna says:

    Vitamin D also depletes magnesium so be sure to increase magnesium when you are supplementing with vitamin D or getting vitamin D from the sun or tanning booth. I learned this the very hard way.

    • CytotoxicTrev says:

      Same here, I take the Sports Research supplement for D3 + K2 (Vitamin D 5,000 IU’s plus Vitamin K2 100 mcg), 3x per week. Let me tell you, my stress levels shot through the roof and I started getting awful fatigue until I upped the magnesium!

  • Sameera Khan says:

    Very informative video Dr thank you. I take supplements of vitamins and homeopathic medicine and totally avoid allopathic medicines.

  • Veronica Hinojosa says:

    Dr Berg..you really are a blessing. ALL of your knowledge is so helpful and so simple. You also have a great voice DR and your sense of humor is very charming.. thank you and please don’t stop making videos 🙏🙏

  • Janine Alvia says:

    Almost don’t need any other online doctor / health advisor. Dr. Berg is my go-to when it comes to all health concerns. My family & friends agree. We see doctors f2f only for prescriptions, lab tests & med. certs. if needed.

  • Andri Egilsson says:

    Dr. Berg, can you do a video on Vitamin D intolerance? There is a large group of people who can not take Vitamin D in any form with out feeling a myriad of symptoms, such as fatigue, brain fog, etc.

    • DebbieTDP says:

      The reaction is typically due to a lack of Magnesium – Mg is required by Vitamin D
      Solution take Magnesium supplement for a week and try again
      It might be similar to reaction to the sun – probably previously known
      Red-heads and others – try a smaller dose initially
      See also Photosensitivity (sun allergy) and vitamin D
      Does size too big – at least initially
      Perhaps we need to start with a smaller dose, say 1000 IU, and get used to vitamin D for a week or so
      Might be a reaction to Vitamin D2 Vets determined that D2 should not be given to any mammals
      Solution – use Vitamin D3, not D2

    • Foodie Adventure says:

      Also Dr Berg has a video on this.

    • Andri Egilsson says:

      @Foodie Adventure thx which one

  • Matt Grc says:

    Hi Dr Berg im a long term Eczema patient im 47 from the UK. Thankyou soo much! 🙏 for sharing all that research. Well done. 😊

  • Xristina Rose says:

    I had an issue with my bone not wanting to heal. When tested on calcium, it was higher then recommended. Since i take D and magnesium, my calcium is more normal and bone started to heal better. I feel better and have less heart rythm issues thanks to the magnesium

  • Ruth Topley says:

    Thanks Dr. Berg, I just subscribed to your newsletter. I have digestive issues eating vegetables. Eating mostly meat now. Lots of beef, some beef liver and sardines in water. Will this new diet fulfill magnesium, Vitamin B and calcium requirements? Was Keto for 6 years until recently. Thanks.

  • Dorene Bonczkiewicz says:
