[QUOTE="shelley262, post: 1856717, member: 455169"] Hi all fellow cramp sufferers including [USER=54885]@dogslife[/USER] [USER=396121]@OrsonKartt[/USER] and [USER=368709]@Goonergal[/USER] and for [USER=478319]@rhubarb73[/USER] as you asked! I’m now home and quickly checked the book I mentioned earlier- it’s the art and science of low carbohydrate living by drs Volek and Phinney. They recommend that taking magnesium supplements can be a shortcut to ending nocturnal or post exercise muscle cramps. They suggest taking magnesium starting with 3 tabletsfor 20days and then titration down to one per day. I was on one per day until a few weeks back but stopped thinking that problem was solved - big Mistake! So have gone back to two but forgot last night! I did use magnesium citrate before but have now started on magnesium bisglycinate which doesn’t seem to have had the tummy impact for me on the higher dose. There is also an important caveat in the book that a contradiction of oral magnesium is anyone with severe renal failure and needto check with dr if any history of kidney problems or known loss of kidney function. My mum who has poor kidney function uses the spray that you massage directly on the legs and finds this helpful. I’ve also tried this but find it limits cramp but dosent stop it for me unless I take a supplement. The drs also suggest adding salty broth to diet and lots of meat and leafy greens to up magnesium Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
