Why muscle cramps happen more in menopause
Magnesium, calcium, and hydration all influence muscle contraction. Shifting hormones and changing dietary patterns can tip mineral balance, leading to new cramps, twitches, or tightness. Supporting minerals, hydration, and gentle stretching may all help.
What these supplements may support
- Mineral balance: Magnesium may help support healthy muscle relaxation and contraction.
- Everyday comfort: Minerals may help support muscle comfort through active days and restful nights.
