Hi,
I hope you're all well.
I began supplementing 25 mg Zinc Picolinate daily back in June 2021 and noticed positive effects, such as higher libido, higher energy, drive, motivation and more benefits. However, after a month and a half of supplementing, I noticed that I was having frequent muscle twitching on a daily basis which did not occur prior to supplementation. My left hand index finger, hand muscles, calves, deltoids, triceps etcetera all started twitching frequently. I also noticed more physical anxiety e.g. jitteriness, nervousness and racing heart rate.
I have stopped supplementation for 3 weeks now and have seen some improvement of this issue. The muscle twitching does not occur as frequently but does occur more than before I first began supplementation. The physical anxiety symptoms seem to have reduced significantly.
What nutritional deficiencies that may have been caused by 25 mg Zinc Picolinate is causing these muscle twitching incidents?
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
