Calcium and Magnesium Supplements

Just a note re: the comments about magnesium/calcium and potassium for eyelid twitching.
Magnesium and calcium are regulated by a cellular "pump" and your body needs them at a 2:1 (calcium to magnesium) ratio. If you over-supplement with one or the other, your body will try to correct the imbalance (calcium is also related to iron absorption; if you take too much calcium you can give yourself anemia!). So those reporting cures are perhaps taking them in the correct ratio, or they are taking in adequate amounts of one or the other in their diet to offset the supplement.
Potassium levels are also regulated by a cellular pump that takes in potassium and removes sodium (or vice versa). Magnesium deficiency can affect the function of this pump. That's why only taking potassium may not help with eyelid twitch or other muscle spasm problems.

I came to this site desperately trying to cure my twitching eye that had gone on for almost a month. The twitching was constant and I was feeling horrible. I was looking at the mirror a thousand times a day hoping it would have stopped. I tried taking tonic water and other remedies without success.. I then decided to start taking magnesium and calcium tablets....pap, it's gone, within two days of administering the multivitamins. Am so happy and thankful to God for using all the good people in this site. I will keep my diet on good check and never again take health for granted. Thanks to all you who share the knowledge.

I occasionally get a twitch in one eye (either side). When I do, I also take calcium and magnesium, and the spasm goes away completely. This has also worked for me with leg muscle spasms.

EYE TWITCHING REMEDY, Every now and then my eye will start twitching, so I take a good dose of liquid calcium and magnesium, and it will go away.
