I’ve got some to help with the leg cramps at night . Any info would be greatly appreciated

I take it regularly and it doesn't raise mine - you'd need to test yourself. I take mine before bed to help prevent cramp and also find it's helpful for my sleep. Hope it works for your leg cramps.
A quick google search says its used as a laxative.
Have you considered a Magnesium body spray or Epson saults in a bath? Magnesium is readily absorbed through the skin more effectively than tablet supplements with less side effects.
I find the spray a much better option than the tablets, I can target where the aches is usually in the arch of my feet & calf’s if I’ve been on my feet all day, just mind your furniture when spraying, I’ve dulled the handles on my bedside cabinet over time - took me ages to work out what it was
