I take a potassium supplement along with a calcium supplement. This has helped me considerably with night leg cramps.

There are a few multivitamins out there for those of us who eat LC. They help a lot. I know that a lack of Magnisium can cause leg cramps too...

When I get lax about taking my supplements, I find I have more leg cramps than when I am diligent about them. Since I take calcium, magnesium and potassium in my mix, I don't which one is the key to stopping the cramps. Perhaps it's all of them combined. Who knows? Besides, it sure doesn't hurt to take any of those supplements as insurance.

thanks everybody!!

I was getting cramps in my side / ribs and it was very painful. I've started taking men's one-a-day and they have not returned. They have 100mg potassium in addition to a bunch of others.

Does anybody else but me get leg cramps during - um - romantic interludes? Talk about a mood killer!

I've been taking supplements for a few months now. Multivitamin, calcium, biotin, L-carnitine, magnesium and potassium (99mg). I can tell they've helped with some of the minor day to day cramps, but yowsa those other cramps are !
