Magnesium

So let me say that one of the other ones is D3K2.

Magnesium is necessary to make D3 work.

It activates vitamin D3.

so all the studies you see about d3 oh well this is positive but that's negative it could be because they're not they are not factoring in magnesium whoever is taking their magnesium the vitamin d3 will work we say three because d2 is synthetic And the K2 is necessary.

Yeah, with your dad, we didn't really go into that.

It could have been just a little mini stroke that didn't leave any sequelae, any results.

But like I said, the two things I'm looking at, magnesium and vitamin C. Magnesium, you need...

You need so much magnesium in the brain to take care of those 2 million mitochondria in every one of the 86 billion neurons.

So if you love dark chocolate, go and get it from a really good supplier.

And finally, not mentioned in the book, but asked about by a lot of people, magnesium.

magnesium.So magnesium is an extremely important supplement.

It's also an important drug.

When I had my heart condition, I went to A&E, they gave me magnesium to try and fix my heart.

Back to Intelligent Medicine, Dr. Ronald Hoffman here.

Here's an interesting study on magnesium entitled Associations of Magnesium Intake and a Magnesium-Rich Diet Score with Sarcopenia in Middle-Age and Older Korean Adults.

And so sarcopenia, the age-related decline in lean body mass, deterioration of your musculature, which leads to frailty.

And what they found was that the more magnesium people consumed from either supplements or plant foods, the lower their risk was of sarcopenia.

In other words, Dr. Kansangra said, the hype is much, much further ahead than objective science.

Still, there is a plausible explanation for how magnesium might improve sleep, said Kelly Glazer Barron, director of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program at the University of Utah.

Magnesium may influence certain sleep-related neurotransmitters in the nervous system in ways that increase feelings of calmness and decrease muscle tension and restlessness, she added.

It's also possible that people who sleep better after taking magnesium supplements are experiencing a placebo effect, Dr. Kassandra said, meaning the act of taking a supplement alone may promote better sleep.

Is magnesium better for sleep than melatonin? Well, scientists don't know whether one supplement is better than the other, in part because no rigorous studies have compared them directly.

As for whether you should take magnesium for sleep, Dr. Kansagra didn't recommend it because the evidence was lacking, but he said he was fine with patients trying it if they were healthy and could afford it since there hadn't been any major safety issues with taking magnesium at recommended doses.

He also recommended taking it if you have a true magnesium deficiency.

Magnesium supplements are sold as pills, gummies, powders, and creams, and they have several formulations, like magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate, and magnesium oxide, which all behave slightly different in the body.

Ange.

Magnesium for Dad for Father's Day, I think.

Yes.

Oh, and to the person asking me what Ange has given me to get better, it's ImmunoBoost.

I would highly recommend.

So that is Magnesium.

I thought it was all horseshit at first.

And Ted Lasso.
