🦵 Important truth about leg cramps
Magnesium is only ONE possible factor. Night leg cramps in seniors may also be caused by:
- Dehydration
- Poor circulation
- Overuse of muscles
- Nerve issues
- Low potassium or calcium
- Certain medications (like diuretics)
⚠️ About the “7-day results” claim
- Some people may feel improvement if they were deficient
- Many will not notice quick changes
- Chronic cramps often need broader lifestyle or medical evaluation
🧠 Bottom line
Magnesium-rich foods are healthy and helpful, but they are not a guaranteed 7-day cure for leg cramps. Real improvement depends on the actual cause.
