Even the fun kind of stress can contribute to muscle cramps. I was on vacation last week, and when I would try to relax and go to sleep, my toes would start moving in different directions of their own accord, causing cramps up my feet and into my calves. I did gentle stretching each morning to loosen the muscles, but the parts that had cramped up stayed sore for days afterward.

The magnesium that works best for me is the glycinate, which I take along with calcium citrate. I still get the occasional odd cramp, like last week, but nothing like I used to get before the supplements. I used to have occasions where nearly every muscle in the leg would seize up at the same time, but the supplements and epsom salt soaks have helped immensely.
