I am on low carb and unsure as to what vitamins I should be taking. I am having leg cramps during the night and am sure the low carb has something to do with it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

I haven't had cramps with low carb, but I did have them a lot with both of my pregnancies, and I have always been told it could be a potassium or a calcium thing.

When I was being monitored by a low-carb clinic (when first starting this way of eating), I had horrible leg cramps in the beginning.
My doctor put me on potassium and calcium/magnesium supplements and they really seemed to help!
Of course, if you continue to experience problems, or if you have other concerns, you should always consult your physician.
Good luck!

I take a multi-vitamin, vitamin E, GFT Chromium, a magnesium/calcium pill, Sam E, a Pro-Biotic pill, 2 Celebrex a day, 2 glucosamine-condroitin a day. There might be more. I only seem to get leg cramps when I am having a whoosh the next day.
