Chi Guy and I must know cramps for sure! Have your mom
be sure she is taking at least 500 milligrams of Calcium
every day in addition to a multi-vitamin, name brand or
generic. It is my problem, also, if I skip three days calcium.
The horrid cramps won't subside unless I jump out of bed
and stand tip toe, then down, tip toe & down to flex muscle.
I can drop a pan or pot of coffee when my calcium reserve
is too low. A morning dose may stop them entirely.

For years, I took 1200 milligrams of calcium per day until
I read of a study that too much may contribute to brittle
bones. Better age women seem to be taking 500-600 Mg.
www.swansonvitamins.com has the cheapest CalciBoost
in 120 softgels I have ever found taken 2 per day. I bet
Chi Guy and I are right!
