If I don't see that my mother, age 87 with PD,
gets 1500 mg of Calcium citrate and 750 mg of Magnesium
daily, she will experience cramps in the calves of her
legs during the night.
The actual product we use is Boron Complex Plus from the
Vitamin Shoppe. 1-800-223-`1216
Four capsules supply:
Boron 3mg . . . aids in the absorption of the Calcium
Calcium . . . . . .1000mg
Magnesium . . .500mg
Vitamine D- . . .3400 IU
Zinc . . . . . . . . . 15mg
Copper . . . . . . 500mcg
Bentaine HCL.324mg
She also takes 1200 mg of Vit. E which is supposed to
help prevent muscle pain.
When she first developed muscle cramps I didn't
associate it with Parkinsons but reached for
the calcium right away. And it worked.
