What am I lacking?

(Kellie) #1

Back on my calves cramp up in the middle of the night- :tired_face: So painful - what am I lacking ?

Magnesium.

Potassium?

Agree with the above but also I’d add some calcium, maybe some vitamin D to ensure you are absorbing calcium well.

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #6

It’s easier to keep your magnesium and potassium in balance when you’re getting enough sodium, so work at increasing your salt intake. We excrete more sodium when we’re not eating a lot of carbohydrate.

Last night I had a can of tuna because I needed protien. I noticed it had 75percent magnesium

I have forgotten my Magnesium the past few days and am back to having leg cramps.
