Muscle Twitching - Have you tried this?

[LindaRK]

There are many health-based websites on the net that I visit regularly or I receive e-mail notifications from.

One came in today from Terry Naturally that is interesting .... it has to do with muscle twitching and calcium.  Not just any calcium, but calcium lactate.  Thought there would be a boatload of people on this forum that would be interested in this!

Terry recommends adding calcium lactate to your daily regimen to help alleviate the nighttime leg and foot cramps you are experiencing. Calcium lactate has been recommended for over 50 years to relieve nighttime leg cramps and reduce muscle twitching.
 
While most people tend to associate calcium with bone health, it also plays a key role in the way our muscles flex and contract. When calcium is released into the muscles, as it is during exercise, it serves as a signal for them to contract and work. After the exercise or physical labor is done, the muscles signal a return to a relaxed state. Calcium goes back to being on “stand by”. However, if you’ve used up your stores of calcium during exercise, your muscles will be unable to respond quickly and effectively. Plus, they won’t relax properly, and you’ll probably get muscle cramps and the characteristic “twitching” at night.
 
I recommend taking 2 to 6 capsules of calcium lactate blended with magnesium and zinc daily.
