If someone is getting a lot of cramps, they might do well to supplement with calcium. Can you talk a little bit about this? For most of my life, I was told cramps was a salt issue and you should eat more salt if you got cramps a lot. Then for a few years, I was under the impression that it was actually a magnesium deficiency, that sodium and calcium help muscles to contract and magnesium and potassium help muscles to relax. So hearing that frequent cramps is due to calcium deficiency is very new to me. Can you explain the physiology?

Kelsey Marksteiner:  I don’t usually use exogenous calcium unless I absolutely have to with someone just because of some of the research on that, so I am going to let Laura answer that question in her next Q&A because it’s just personally not something that I do even for cramps for people. I definitely do focus on some of the electrolytes, so salt for sure, potassium, magnesium. Any of those electrolytes I do sort of just try to make sure someone’s getting enough of them and in a fairly good balance to just see if that helps. Yeah, calcium, I’m not sure about. Personally I don’t really use it, so I’ll leave that one for Laura for next time here.
