Muscle cramp: Like a "charley horse"/ cramp. This is often due to low magnesium. We are all deficient as our diets are so low in mg. Have her buy some magnesium glycinate (less likely to cause loose stools than cheaper mg oxide) and slowly increase dose starting with one cap am and pm till goes away and cont this dose for 2 weeks. Then i would continue mg regularly at 1 cap am and pm once symptoms are gone.
