very interesting- the causes of cramps

Causes
A mineral deficiency of calcium and/or magnesium is probably the most frequent cause of night leg cramping.
Cramps are often caused by a lack of potassium, resulting in an electrytic imbalance. Strenuous exercise with sweating and diarrhea or other bowel disease may cause loss of potassium and other important minerals. It is very important to replace them with supplements. Some people get leg cramps at night for no apparent reason. This is called restless legs syndrome
