I am somewhat surprised since they have very small amounts of potassium and calcium and no sodium. Nevertheless, they are working.


The last night time cramp I had disabled me for a few days, ever since I've been taking calcium/magnesium pills in the evening. Doc provided me with quinine sulphate which helped but had some undesirable side effects.

This video isn't too far off from the version of leg cramps I sometimes get at night. The guy is in severe pain and the gal is basically having a laughing fit!???!
