Anyone noticed more muscle cramping the past year?

CALCIUM PILLS stops cramping in leg extremities instantly.

Coarsely chew 4 or 5 calcium supplements and swallow with water. Near instant relief.

Or if on road, guzzle large milk product, even choco-milk or "muscle milk"

NO CRAMPS!

Eating too much salty snacks with carbonated drinks causes leg and foot cramps later while sleeping, so eat US RDA (upped in recent years) for calcium before bed. USRDA is about three pills but DO NOT ever ever ever ever routinely injest over 300% RDA of vitamin D per day.

Though calcium just increased by FDA in the last couple years, some want RDA for calcium tripled over 1990s minimum levels, but RDA level is not meant to cover all peoples genetic issues : https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/738275

Vitamin D proven , (well proven) , to cause heart damage if over 300% RDA, and is trivial to accidentally take over 300% RDA Vitamin D, hidden in many calcium supplements.

Under 100% RDA vitamin D equally dire.

What a fucking picky dosage!

Far too much calcium in some humans is also very bad. Most calcium enters and leaves your bones hourly in a buffer, but too much free calcium (Hypercalcemia) is bad.

Merely slightly too much D (3 times RDA minimum) DOUBLES heart attacks in humans !!!

Stay away from extra Vitamin D

Only take the exact TOTAL min rda of D, and beware D added to most calcium pills, they have sneaky vitamin d at wrong proportions. Just locate pure no-vitamin-D and mix and match with one vitamin D calcium pill, or just take calcium with a multivitamin.

Google boron conspiracy.

Get calcium magnesium and potassium.

Feel so much better.

Thank me later

Magnesium has been my problem. Dizziness, cramps, upped anxiety and depression, digestive issues and occasional migraines.

Started eating sounds every day and picked up a chelated magnesium taurate supplement to get it back on track and all symptoms are quickly disappearing in a matter of days.

Boron facilitates magnesium and calcium.

My back pains are down to a 2/10 from 8/10 chronic

Don't "google". Research. Use DuckDuckGo or Brave.

Interesting.

I had heard no negative effects from extra vitamin D before. And there are numerous articles about it. So that is new info.

One thing is the USDA is about 10x too small to get the desired blood levels. This was due to a math error made by USDA scientists in 1960's or thereabouts and no one catching it until the past few years.

So I think 8000 IU is the amount needed to get the blood Serum High enough.

So I don't what that does to the heart attack and 3x USDA recommendation.

All These numbers are approximate. I haven't looked it up in a while.

I was trying to find the actual scientific study which made the correlation between D and heart attacks so I could ser what blood serum levels they were discussing. This paper is not there anymore. http://press.endocrine.org/doi/pdf/10.1210/jc.2014-4551

A Reverse J-Shaped Association Between Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality: The CopD Study

[–] 0 pt (edited )

To quote your article

Ignore the Following. Otd is for first article not the second article

Of 247 574 subjects, a total of 16 645 subjects died in the ensuing 0–7 years. A total of 5454 died from cardiovascular disease including 1574 from stroke and 702 from acute myocardial infarct. The 25(OH)D level of 70 nmol/L was associated with the lowest cardiovascular disease mortality risk. Compared with that level, the hazard ratio for cardiovascular disease mortality was 2.0 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.8–2.1] at the lower extreme (∼12.5 nmol/L) with a higher risk for men [2.5 (95% CI 2.2–2.9)] than for women [1.7 (95% CI 1.5–1.9)]. At the higher extreme (∼125 nmol/L), the hazard ratio of cardiovascular disease mortality was 1.3 (95% CI 1.2–1.4), with a similar risk among men and women. Results were similar for stroke and acute myocardial subgroups.

So here are the levels

12.5 nmol/l =2.5x death men 70 =normal 125 =1.3 x death

So having more vitamin d is far less risky than having too little.

Now we need the daily intake to get this levels which was in the study showing the calculation mistake for USDA recommended

Give me a minute.

So this mentions the study but doesnt show the calulations https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/03/150317122458.htm

So still looking...

Here we go https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/6/10/4472/htm

Let me get the quote

This regression line revealed that 600 IU of vitamin D per day achieves that 97.5% of individuals will have serum 25(OH)D values above 26.8 nmol/L rather than above 50 nmol/L which is currently assumed. It also estimated that 8895 IU of vitamin D per day may be needed to accomplish that 97.5% of individuals achieve serum 25(OH)D values of 50 nmol/L or more.

So they say it takes 8800 IU to get to 50nmol/l But we actually want to get to 70nmol/l as the first article says because that was optimum level for less heart attack risk.

I have been taking 10,000 IU a day since covid started and since I read the miscalulation article. Most things say there are no side effects for much more like 50,000 iu in one person for years had no apparent side effects. Of course your heart attack data is not included as that person was alive.
