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?

https://youtu.be/G9KlwFf81dQ Magnesium taurate = magnesium + taurine (an amino-sulfonic acid). The “extra” proposed benefits vs other magnesium forms come mostly from taurine’s physiology (vascular, cardiac, metabolic), layered on top of magnesium’s well-known roles (muscle/nerve function, vascular tone, etc.). Research-backed potential benefits of magnesium taurate Direct human trials on magnesium taurate specifically are limited, but there’s supportive evidence from: - Magnesium supplementation overall → modest average reductions in blood pressure in many trials/meta-analyses. AHA Journals+1 - Taurine supplementation → RCT evidence for lowering clinic and ambulatory blood pressure in people with high-normal BP, plus newer meta-analytic evidence for cardiometabolic markers. AHA Journals+1 - Mechanistic/adjacent evidence suggesting taurine + magnesium may be relevant to vascular function and hypertension biology (though not proof that “taurate” is superior for everyone). PMC+1 So, the best-supported “use-case” logic for magnesium taurate is:cardiovascular support (especially blood pressure/vascular tone) where both magnesium sufficiency and taurine’s BP/vascular effects are plausibly relevant. Is magnesium taurate “better” than glycinate, L-threonate, or citrate? It’s “better” only if your goal matches what taurine adds. Evidence does not clearly show magnesium taurate is universally more bioavailable or a better magnesium repletion strategy than other well-absorbed forms. How the common forms compare (research-informed, goal-based) Magnesium citrate - Often considered well absorbed among magnesium salts and commonly used when constipation is also a goal (more GI/osmotic effect). Organic salts tend to outperform inorganic forms like oxide in bioavailability discussions. PMC+1
