Nighttime leg cramps are not caused by a problem with the muscle itself. They’re related to the nervous system.
Leg cramps at night are typically a direct result of a magnesium deficiency. Some people think magnesium isn’t improving their leg cramps, but they may simply be taking the wrong form. Magnesium glycinate is one of the best-absorbed forms of magnesium.
Magnesium may not stop your leg cramps if you’re also low in vitamin D. Magnesium and vitamin D work together, so the more magnesium you take, the more vitamin D you need, and vice versa.
If you have severe leg cramps, it may take longer to see results.
