About 99% of the calcium in your body is involved in cell signaling and communication, including muscle contraction and maintaining a healthy heartbeat. When a muscle contracts, calcium enters the muscle cell. For the muscle to relax, calcium must be pushed back out. This process requires ATP. Magnesium is essential for ATP function, making it a key nutrient for proper muscle relaxation. Palpitations, arrhythmias, muscle tension, headaches, teeth grinding, and eye twitching are common symptoms in people who are low in magnesium. Calcium channel blockers mimic some of the effects of magnesium, as do certain medications used for Alzheimer’s disease. Vitamin K2 is important for keeping calcium out of soft tissues and directing it where it belongs, but it also depends on magnesium to function properly. Your body’s pH can also influence how effectively magnesium works. Instead of focusing on calcium supplements, prioritize magnesium. Magnesium glycinate is one of the most absorbable forms and is often preferred for supporting healthy magnesium levels.
