How it works
Magnesium competes with calcium at the neuromuscular junction, modulating muscle excitability and contraction threshold. Deficiency increases spontaneous firing that leads to cramping.
Evidence is mixed — strongest for nocturnal cramps, less clear for exercise-associated cramps. Glycinate or citrate forms are best absorbed. Avoid in renal impairment. Most trials use 300–450mg elemental magnesium.
