How long does it take after drinking a cup of gatorade to help with leg cramps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gatorade is full of: sugar and artificial colors. You are better off using club soda. Even better is to see the doc and have your magnesium level check. Leg cramps are often associated w/low magnesium. Peace and good health.
