I have to say that I do wonder about taking any *one* type of
vitamin or mineral, because I have read that to unbalance things can
cause more problems than a deficiency.
I will give one example of what you just stated.
I often state, .......... "Beware of the one thing theory".
====================
Nerve and Muscle Relaxation
Magnesium and its fellow macronutrient, calcium, act together to
help regulate the body's nerve and muscle tone. In many nerve cells,
magnesium serves as a chemical gate blocker - as long as there is
enough magnesium around, calcium can't rush into the nerve cell and
activate the nerve. This gate blocking by magnesium helps keep the
nerve relaxed.
If our diet provides us with too little magnesium, this gate blocking
can fail and the nerve cell can become overactivated.
When some nerve cells are overactivated, they can send too many
messages to the muscles and cause the muscles to over contract. This
chain of events helps explain how magnesium deficiency can trigger
muscle tension, muscle soreness, muscle spasms, muscle cramps, and
muscle fatigue.
