Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2
Mineral blends, often containing electrolytes such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium, are sometimes used to support muscle function, including muscle tone. Muscle tone refers to the continuous and passive partial contraction of the muscles, and adequate mineral levels are essential for normal muscle contraction and nerve function. Scientific evidence shows that deficiencies in key minerals, particularly magnesium and calcium, can lead to muscle cramps, spasms, or even hypotonia (reduced muscle tone). Supplementing with these minerals in individuals who are deficient can help restore normal muscle function. However, for individuals with normal dietary intake and no underlying deficiency, there is limited evidence that additional mineral supplementation will further improve muscle tone. Most research supports the correction of deficiencies rather than the use of mineral blends as a general tonic for muscle tone in healthy individuals. Thus, while there is a scientific rationale for using mineral blends in cases of deficiency-related muscle tone issues, the evidence for broad application remains limited, earning a moderate evidence score.
