Muscle cramps from dehydration and heat

Any sort of electrolyte packets to put in a bottle of water should help some. Liquid IV is supposedly really good

 

A simple salt pill would probably work.

Adding in a Gatorade or LMNT packet to a bottle of water will do too.

Look at the nutrition specs. Some have many more additives, or more mg sodium. Depends on how much you're losing

 

I have worked out in the heat for … almost three decades. Makes me feel old, I drink diluted Gatorade. I use the powder and mix it weaker for less sugar, but you still get the sodium and electrolytes. It’s cheaper as well. I have also found it easier to drink less more often to prevent cramping. I also find cold stuff is harder to drink a lot of, cool is easier to drink a proper volume. I will drink 3 litres a shift when it’s hot.

1. Drink more in general
2.Drink well before, and after
Good luck, be careful in that heat

 

I've never had cramping issues, but many elecrolyte packets also have potassium and magnesium. I use one from Tailwind at times that does.

Those would probably help the cramping even more

 

I get the cramping in my forearms, and in my hamstrings. There painful when it really locks up. Used to play summer hockey after work, cramping after every game, a quart of drink would help fix it up

 

I use this. Friend of mine was having some serious health issues including cancer. Her Oncologist recommended this. She told us about it and how much better she feels after drinking it. I bought a case at Sam's Club for $10.00 and love the stuff. Can also get the powder form, but I get the bottles. It's so good I usually have one first thing in the morning.

Get some Celtic sea salt the real stuff that is almost coffee colored and take a small amount of this every morning when you wake up with about 16 ounces of water. With your breakfast, take a complete amino acid supplement and I can almost guarantee you, your cramps will go away.

 

I take magnesium capsules. 2 a day, haven’t had cramps since. The cramps from sitting and driving are different than sports cramps. Lay off salty stuff, and soda. Drink Gatorade if you like it.
