Supplements for Muscle twitches / eyelid twitching.
When muscle twitches / eyelid twitching is the complaint, these are the supplements most often associated with it in the NutriStack library, ranked by how directly each one targets it and by the strength of the evidence.
Ranked by relevance, top first.
Relevance reflects how directly each supplement targets this symptom in the NutriStack map. Evidence is the supplement’s own rating. Open any name for the full profile.
- 01Magnesium GlycinateModerate86% match
Magnesium stabilizes neuromuscular excitability by modulating calcium influx and acetylcholine release, so low status can promote fasciculations and twitching.
SuggestedMagnesium glycinate, 200 to 400 mg elemental magnesium daily, often split or taken in the evening - 02PotassiumModerate72% match
Potassium sets the resting membrane potential of muscle fibers, and low levels can increase excitability, cramping, or twitching.
SuggestedDietary potassium first, or a low-dose supplement (about 99 mg per tablet) only if intake is poor - 03CalciumModerate63% match
Calcium is central to muscle contraction and nerve signaling, and frank hypocalcemia can cause increased neuromuscular irritability and twitching.
SuggestedCalcium citrate, about 500 mg elemental with food, only if dietary intake is low - 04TaurineLimited60% match
Taurine helps regulate intracellular calcium and membrane stability in muscle and nerve, which may theoretically reduce excitability, though human twitch data is limited.
SuggestedTaurine powder or capsules, 500 to 1000 mg daily - 05Vitamin B6Limited55% match
Vitamin B6 is a cofactor in neurotransmitter and amino acid metabolism, so adequacy supports normal nerve function relevant to muscle excitability.
SuggestedPyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P), 10 to 25 mg daily
