Suspected magnesium deficiency–related muscle cramps not improving after 1 month
Hi everyone,I’m trying to understand the root cause of persistent muscle cramps after workout. My current suspicion is vitamin D supplementation without adequate magnesium, leading to increased neuromuscular excitability. I have been supplementing magnesium glycinate (~400–500 mg/day) consistently for about one month, but the cramping has not clearly improved yet (not worse, but not resolved). I’m aware evidence on magnesium and cramps is mixed, which makes this confusing. Is it physiologically plausible that magnesium-related cramping can take longer than 4 weeks to improve?
