In reply to Jess. Yes, many runners do, due to the high amount of potassium. I should look into that as well.

In reply to Dr. J. Possibly, but from what I read, that doesn't seem to be the case.

I imagine that potassium, magnesium, and calcium all play a role in this with dehydration being a major factor.

I get cramps on occasion after hiking. In fact, I can almost count on it. If I supplement with magnesium prior to hiking, I don’t get cramps.

My Dad swears by eating bananas. He was suffering really badly from leg cramps waking him at night and someone recommended increasing his banana intake.
