Calcium and potassium are equally important

Muscle cramps are usually due to a lack of potassium in your body. Drink a glass of orange juice or have a fresh orange! Dried fruits like rasins or prunes; and bananas have high potassium. Also, you can get muscle cramps from not drinking enough water. Drink at least 8 cups a day ( 64 ounces)...or a little more. You might want to add some milk to that for calcium as it also helps with muscle cramps. Thanks for asking a great question that can help others! Godloveya.

Actually, deficiency in any of the electrolyte minerals (sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium) can cause severe cramps. It is also important to stay hydrated.
