I don't recall, Megan,
If you have ever tried Acetyl carnitine?
When you exercise, glucose is burned in the mitochondria of
muscle cells, with lactic acid as a byproduct.
This irritates them and twitching may occur.
Twitching also comes from low blood sugar. So by providing
the carnitine you enable the mitochondria to burn fatty acids for some of the energyl
Many body builders and athletes use acetyl carnitine to make the workouts better.
You can also load on some complex carbs before exercise.
A cooling off period, after exercise, may help too. Some aerobic movement after intense muscle activity, slow but sure, may help clear any lactate out of the muscles for you.
Also a soak in epsom salts (magnesium) tends to help.
