Bet 1: Magnesium and Legs
Experiments Easy 10 days
Start the Health OS protocol "Bet 1: Magnesium and Legs" (experiments-magnesium-legs) and show me today's step.
Goal
Test whether resuming evening magnesium relieves the itch/buzzing in the legs
Hypothesis
Resuming evening magnesium glycinate will reduce leg itch/buzzing within ~10 days
Stopping magnesium disinhibited neuromuscular excitability (Mg is a cofactor for NMDA receptors and calcium channels); resuming intake should restore balance
