Since the middle 1950s, early works (although without addressing the Maillard reaction) examined bacterial species such as Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli , lactic acid bacteria, and propionic acid bacteria for their growth on media, in which nitrogen and carbohydrate sources were autoclaved together (116)
Nutritional Deficiencies: Critical nutrients for nerve and muscle function often become depleted during menopause: Magnesium Deficiency: Menopausal women are at higher risk due to decreased absorption Magnesium helps regulate nerve impulses and muscle contractions Low levels are correlate with increased muscle spasms Calcium Imbalance: Calcium is essential for normal muscle contraction and relaxation cycles Declining estrogen affects calcium absorption and retention Imbalances can lead to heightened nerve excitability and twitching Vitamin B Deficiency: B vitamins especially B1, B3, B6, and B12 are critical for nerve repair, myelin formation, and neurotransmitter production Deficiencies may cause nerve misfiring, tingling, numbness, and muscle twitching Absorption issues become more common with age and hormonal changes Vitamin D Deficiency: Vitamin D is required for proper calcium absorption and neuromuscular function Low levels are common during menopause and linked to muscle weakness and spasms 2
