Most of the time muscle spasms and "charlie horse" things can be remedied with increasing your potassium intake. Potassium will help allow more calcium into your muscles, thus reducing cramping. Hope this helps.

Since I started taking a multivitamin daily my leg cramps have disappeared! Try it ~ it works!

You get muscle cramps because of a lack of potassium, eat more bananas and drink more milk. Also cut back on the soa, that stuff leaches the calcium and potassium right out of your body.

Generally, in people of good health, muscle spasms/cramps, are caused by low potassium levels, and/or fatigue induced buildup of toxins in the muscles. Eating bananas, or other potassium rich foods will help alleviate the problem. Potassium pills available at the pharmacy will also help.

Your potassium levels could be low.Try eating a banana every day and see if that helps.You also might want to consult a Dr.to see if there is a medical reason for your leg cramps.

I use the mineral magnesium to help relieve muscle aches and spasms. Your body requires this mineral, especially if you are diabetic. I take 200-250 mg when needed for relief

What works for my leg cramps is taking an 8oz. glass of orange juice and two (2) 99mg potassium tablets. If my muscles continue to pull, I have to keep walking and trying to stretch out the pull. Also, stretching before and after I do any exercises or go for a walk, helps to keep my muscles from pulling.
