      I too think it’s magnesium, but what I can actually confirm is that I haven’t had this since I started taking multivitamins. Y’all are vitamin deficient.

        interesting, i used to have a lot of cramps until i started taking specifically magnesium supplements a few years ago. then again, last year i switched out the salt i use for one with more potassium chloride in it so i can’t really do a comparison.

          Magnesium is definitely a part of the conversation. It helps neurofunction and muscle signaling, along with cell metabolism. It helps quite a few processes in the body. I wish I remembered more of the processes specifically so I could be more accurate! Most electrolytes have some very important roles, including calcium far beyond building strong bones.

          One of many reasons I take multivitamins! Difficult to be too low on most anything that way. … and it supplements my poor diet choices…
