Re: muscle cramps and vit question too

[Guest guest]

Try magnesium. I use magnesium malate (also called malic acid), but

calcium and magnesium need to be balanced; I find that I need about

equal amounts of calcium and magnesium (instead of the commonly

recommended 2:1 ratio) to avoid muscle twitches and calf cramps. If

you haven't already discovered this, the best way to stop a night-time

leg cramp is to bend your knee and flex your foot (toes toward you).

Hope this helps.
