Question
Every time I stop injecting gluconate calcium, I experience symptoms of hand cramps and shock. I have tried eating many foods and supplements rich in calcium, but there seems to be no improvement. Are there any other treatment methods?
Answer
While supplementing with calcium, people often only pay attention to the intake of vitamin D, but neglect the digestion of magnesium. Calcium and magnesium are like twins, usually appearing together, and when the ratio of calcium to magnesium is 2:1, it is most beneficial for the digestion and utilization of calcium. Therefore, when supplementing with calcium, don’t forget to digest magnesium as well. It is recommended to consume foods rich in magnesium, such as nuts, legumes, seeds, whole grains, and seafood.
