So I've been getting cramp more than usual since back on lc. How do you combat this if you suffer in a safe way?

  Ditto. If it is for muscle cramps, 3000-5000mg of sodium per day, and supplemented magnesium and potassium may help.

  Is it muscle cramps? I found magnesium to take care of that, it even stopped my shoulder and upper back pain I used to get consistently after to much exercise or over use

  Be sure to get magnesium citrate or any that end in ate (malate, glycinate, etc) they are the most absorbable
