Muscle cramps, foot cramps and nocturnal leg cramps are extremely common – and can be difficult to treat. Its not as simple as eating a few bananas for the potassium.  You need plenty of other electrolytes including sodium, potassium, chloride, and magnesium for proper muscle function.

Further, electrolytes won’t just be automatically absorbed into your body – if this were true you probably wouldn’t be having muscle cramps, “Charlie horse”, foot cramps or nocturnal leg cramps in the first place.
