I get severe muscle cramping, even after pounding water and electrolytes. Like I can’t handle my kid something in the car without risking a spasm.

- logicallee 2mo agospasms are commonly a potassium deficiency, you could take a multivitamin.
- smallerize 2mo agoMultivitamins don't contain a lot of potassium because of the risk over overdosing in that form. Eat a banana instead (or 3).
- leoqa 2mo agoI do function health and have completely normal nutrient blood levels.
- matwood 2mo agoDo you lift weights?
- leoqa 2mo agoYes I’m fit, easily passed military and LEO fitness tests this year.
- matwood 2mo agoThe reason I asked is that creatine will allow you to lift a bit more (a little more weight, a few more reps). This will cause more muscle fatigue which in turn can lead to more cramping. Water and electrolytes can help, but when the muscles are fatigued they are still more likely to cramp.
- _superposition_ 2mo agoAntacids did this to me. I was convinced it was electrolytes, would take supps etc but I believe it came down to calcium absorption. Taking a break from the antacids immediately stopped the cramping.
