5 Tips To Help with Leg Cramps

  1. Stay hydrated during the day - aim to drink half your body weight in ounces of water.

  2. Supplement with Magnesium (in citrate or glycinate form) 300-400mg/day

  3. If you’re already taking Magnesium and still experiencing leg cramps, try adding Calcium Lactate to your supplement routine.

  4. When you’re actively experiencing the leg cramp trying to stretch it out can make it feel worse or last longer. Instead, try placing one hand on either side of the cramp and push the muscle together between you hands. It may be uncomfortable but it will signal to the brain to stop the cramp more quickly.

  5. Add a good mobility routine to your day. This could include stretching, walking, yoga and chiropractic care.
