[pct-l] leg cramps - potassium



Potassium supplements that are prescribed by the dr are much stronger and
can cause cardiac problems and death when not used under a dr's care.
The potassium in Emergen'-C and Gatorade, etc, is a much lower dose. There's
apparently something with Vitamin C and cramping that I don't understand but
my hiking partner had to take lots of calcium supplements as prescribed by
her dr for leg cramps until she discovered Emergen'C. It does have some
calcium in it, I believe.
