Leg Cramps – Lotion
For best results, massage in the Cramp Lotion or Cream for maximum help to avoid the crippling pain that cramp causes. I’d like to thank Lynn for consulting me about her experience which resulted in passing out at times due to the terrible pain. She now uses these two products which have given her huge relief and prevention of leg cramps at night. She prefers using the lotion. She also takes magnesium glycinate 400mg and avoids diuretics in drinks. She swears by the ABC Herbal Powder as the best form of electrolytes available.
