Muscle Cramps & Spasm

A muscle contracting and refusing to let go. Most cramp is fatigue and dehydration rather than a mineral deficiency, though magnesium helps enough people to be worth a trial.

What actually helps
  • Fluid and salts, especially in heat or after hard work.
  • Stretching the muscle through the cramp rather than tensing against it.
  • Magnesium glycinate for a few weeks, judged honestly.
  • Checking any medicine you take — some make cramp much likelier.
