Many people struggle for years with strange symptoms – eyelid twitching, muscle spasms, feelings of tension, tingling in the hands, and even the sensation of an internal "current" in the body. They often hear from doctors that it's just stress, nerves, or "overwork." However, the real cause might be tetany – a disorder that is still far too little discussed.

Tetany is a silent saboteur of your nervous system. Let's find out how to recognize it and why combining magnesium with natural ashwagandha extract can be the key to regaining peace in body and mind.

What exactly is tetany?

Tetany is a state of excessive neuromuscular excitability. It most often results from deficiencies of elements crucial for our nervous system: magnesium, calcium, or vitamin B6.

When these are lacking, your nerves start to overreact, like uninsulated cables, causing uncontrolled and very unpleasant bodily reactions:

• muscle tremors or twitches (e.g., annoying eyelid jumping),
• severe tension in the neck, shoulders, and facial muscles,
• tingling and numbness in the hands, feet, or around the mouth,
• accelerated heartbeat, shortness of breath, and dizziness,
• a feeling of chronic anxiety, and even panic attacks without a clear cause.

We distinguish two forms of this disorder: manifest tetany (visible, acute attacks, often diagnosed in a hospital) and latent tetany – much more common, causing chronic, bothersome symptoms, but much harder to detect.

How is tetany diagnosed?

Many people with latent tetany have perfect basic blood test results. Serum magnesium levels can be normal, even though there's a drastic lack of it inside the cells!

Therefore, the gold standard for diagnosis is the so-called tetany test (EMG examination) – it allows checking how muscles and nerves react to ischemia and hyperventilation.

Additionally, it's worth examining:

• full ionogram (ionized calcium, magnesium, potassium),
• vitamin D3 levels (25-OH metabolite) and B6,
• hormonal balance (thyroid) and cortisol levels.

How to support the body with tetany?

The basis of treatment for tetany is intelligent supplementation of deficiencies – mainly highly absorbable magnesium, vitamin B6, and D3. However, minerals are only half the battle.

Stress reduction is hugely important. Why? Because chronic stress, tension, and cortisol surges literally "flush out" magnesium from your body! If you live in a constant rush, you can take huge doses of magnesium, and your body will still immediately use it to combat stress.

Ashwagandha and tetany – why does this combination make sense?

Tetany is the result of an extremely overloaded nervous system stuck in high gear. Instead of pouring magnesium into a "leaky bucket," you first need to seal the nervous system.

And this is where ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) comes in – the queen of adaptogens. Scientific studies show that ashwagandha is excellent at calming the body's stress reactions.

Lowers cortisol levels: Helps reduce the level of the stress hormone, protecting your valuable magnesium reserves from rapid depletion.

Supports the GABA system: Mimics the action of gamma-aminobutyric acid, which is a natural "brake" for the nervous system. It is responsible for relaxation and calming the flood of thoughts.

Alleviates psychosomatic symptoms: Supports the body in combating muscle tension and heart palpitations caused by nerves.

In practice, this means that ashwagandha works perfectly in tandem with magnesium and B6, helping to calm the nervous system from two sides simultaneously!

Leave the pills – why choose drops for sensitive nerves?

People with tetany usually have to take several large magnesium tablets daily. Adding more hard-to-digest, large ashwagandha capsules to this is a burden on the stomach, often leading to heartburn and nausea.

Our Avoice Vitality ashwagandha drops solve this problem:

Instant action: The liquid form is absorbed sublingually (already in the mouth). It works much faster than capsules, which is crucial when you feel sudden anxiety.

Gentle on the stomach: We based the extract on plant glycerin. No alcohol, no artificial fillers, and no irritation to the digestive system.

Delicious ritual: Herbal extract doesn't have to be bitter! Our drops are available in three natural flavors: fruity Cherry, sweet Raspberry, and refreshing Blackcurrant.

Efficiency: One bottle (50 ml) lasts for a full 50 days of daily support (1 ml per day).
