Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Magnesium is suggested for muscle twitches. Actually it is suggested for a lot of things, including proper bowel movements.

I get muscle twitches very badly from calcium deficiency. It seems as if magnesium also helps somewhat, but calcium is MUCH more important for me. I seem to do best on two to three grams per day, but I probably only need about 1.5 grams to keep twitching to a minimum. However on less than say, 500 mg, in just a few days I will get crazy spasms. I use NOW bone meal powder to supplement calcium and also include some magnesium citrate.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Since my symptoms were pretty scary to me, I started taking 400 mcg of Selenium, and 500 mg magnesium every day. Since it helped almost instantly, I backed down to 200 mcg of Selenium a day, and either 250 mg or 500 mg (if not regular...)of magnesium. I also upped my vit C to 4000mg a day, which (I think) has helped my energy level come up. I can't say that I have had any twitching (yet?), but itching began a couple days ago, and man is that annoying!! DH asked me if I had fleas I was itching so hard! LOL Good luck- http://kelleygate.blogspot.com/ im not feeling any > > weakness so i am prone to think i am not supplementing correctly with > > my diet...anyone able to resolve this? also, shanmnon, i heard you > > took magnesium to help with ear ringing....i have that also, and im > > curious as to how much you took and for how long|?
