Your body needs just the right balance of vitamins and minerals to function properly. When you’re low on a key nutrient, your body is off balance, and you feel the effects — it’s like trying to paddle a boat with one oar.
Low magnesium levels can cause muscle cramping and spasms, common symptoms that MyParkinsonsTeam members know all too well. Many have asked others if supplements are helpful in combating their symptoms. “Is anyone here taking magnesium supplements? If so, do you find it helpful with tremors, and what dose are you using?” asked one member.
In this article, we’ll discuss the role magnesium plays in your body and in Parkinson’s disease, as well as recommendations for supplements. We’ll also cover recommended dosing and what happens when you take too much magnesium. For the most accurate information, ask your doctor if magnesium is right for you.
