It is quite possible that you have a magnesium deficiency. Calcium/magnesium can be added as a nutritional supplement as well as a decent form of potassium - but that depends upon your blood pressure.
I have found that tablets (normally prefer capsules for fewer excipients) work faster. You might take them before exercise or when you feel the cramp coming on - although that means minutes of that horrible pain.
While many people prefer those complete vitamin and/or mineral pills, I prefer to buy the individual supplement or synergistic combos because that provides better quality and form control.
I know this is months late but...
