This same function also makes magnesium effective at relieving muscle pain and preventing cramps. Magnesium has a role in controlling neuromuscular signals that handle muscle contractions and one common reason for muscle spasms and cramps is that the muscles don’t have enough of it.

This also makes magnesium a great choice for bodybuilders and athletes that train hard in the gym and then suffer from ‘DOMS’ or ‘Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness’.
