So what do you think of Maca?
 
After I tweeted about muscle spasms I was having, which I attributed to using 25 or more mg of methylcobalamin a day for over 5 years, I got a reply that talked about how methylcobalamin helps cells divide properly again, and this takes a lot more potassium, so potassium tends to run low and muscle spasms follow.

I ordered potassium, right away.

But while I was waiting for it to arrive I wondered what I could eat that would supply a lot of potassium... I wondered if aloe would.

Turns out aloe uses a lot of potassium, or interferes with it, I forget.

What is GREAT for potassium is Maca. I'd ordered it to use in my organic creamer, so I had some on hand, and gave it a try. Excellent results.

It's been several weeks now, and the spasms have gone from screaming painful, to nearly not happening at all.

So... if you're taking a lot of methylcobalamin (B12) it's a good idea to add some high potassium food to your diet.

Good plan, except I'm housebound due to hardly being able to walk, i.e. it's REALLY hard.

So ordering Maca is an easy option for me. :-)

I'm pretty much in the same shape. :( I CAN get out once in awhile, but not often.

It's not much fun, is it. :( I get so tired of being in the house all the time, especially in the summer. I miss being able to plant flowers & stuff like that. Oh well. It could be worse I guess. :rolleyes:

I hope you're feeling well today. Please take care of yourself! God bless! Hugs, Lee
