Interesting posting. Saw it as I had calf cramps riding yesterday, but it was only 65 degrees out. So often it’s not all temp related but conditioning, road conditions, etc. I knew I would have cramps at night sleeping though hoped extra supplements would help. Even last August when I did a half marathon trail run, my body did not require extra water or nutrients. No cramps period.
But what I was watching then, and I did not notice anyone mention it, is logging your food intake daily to meet you micro nutrients goals. Eating figs, bananas, pickles can give potassium but not enough. Daily I need 3,500 mg potassium. Working out even more, so a supplement is required. I also supplement magnesium as it helps absorption and cramps. Salt? Log your food and it will amaze you.
Daily maximum is 2,300 mg. Check out how much salt is in cheese, deli meat, bread, catsup, etc. soooo easy to exceed maximum that I no longer supplement it. Calcium i meet my goals with greek yogurt, etc. to much calcium can affect other nutrients by binding to them and exiting system. CQ10 I haven’t noticed it does anything for cramps.
So just my thoughts, good luck.
