  I have really severe Charlie horses and started potassium when I heard this, it helped slightly but magnesium is what did the trick for me.

    The real answer is probably to talk to your GP about your issue.

      I did and he was completely useless, he prescribed me baclofen which I take like tictacs and they do jack shit. He was out of ideas so I googled it and found out about magnesium. Got some “Calm” which is magnesium citrate and no more insane pain.

    Yeah magnesium is another common one that can cause cramps.

      -Lack- of magnesium can cause cramps.

      Supplementing magnesium can help lots of people since it is lacking in many people’s diets. It can also help you get more and better sleep, just avoid magnesium oxide, that will just make you poop and is unfortunately the form used in many supplements and multi vitamins.

        I have Calm (naturalcalm.ca) which is raspberry flavored magnesium citrate. Get it at Costco.

  Well in my case I have those the next dai after drinking a lot of beer. I found out that I get them due to dehydration.

  Also check out NuSalt, it’s a salt substitute that is pure potassium. Way cheaper than supplements, my local grocery store sells a container for under $2.
