We explored the effects of vitamin C on leg cramps in a group of 60 pregnant women through a double-blind trial. Participants received either calcium or vitamin C (1 g twice daily) as treatment. Our observations revealed that there was no significant difference in clinical improvement between the two treatment groups.
Notably, 14 patients experienced complete relief from symptoms, while 27 reported significant improvement regardless of which treatment they received. Unfortunately, 17 participants found their symptoms unchanged, and only two noticed an increase in leg cramps during the treatment period.
Throughout the study, we measured serum levels of total and ionized calcium, total magnesium, and albumin, but these parameters did not show significant changes in either treatment group. We also didn’t identify any biochemical differences when comparing the effectiveness of vitamin C and calcium for alleviating cramps.
Ultimately, our findings suggest that vitamin C may not be an effective solution for leg cramps in pregnant women, as both treatments yielded similar results with minimal biochemical changes.

Ten-year relief

I've used this for ten years. After my grandson was born, I suffered terrible leg cramps that woke me nightly. I started taking Trace Mineral's Power Pak each morning. The result? I’ve experienced leg cramps only once or twice in ten years. I hope this helps others as it has helped me.

Only the orange flavour is worth getting. It's a miracle for dehydration, especially in the summer, and it quickly eliminates leg cramps.

Quick muscle relief
2 people found this helpful
This product works wonders for leg cramps! Within 15-20 minutes of mixing a packet, my muscles relax and the cramps vanish. I keep some by my nightstand for quick relief from those 2 AM cramps. The flavour is decent, although I expected it to be better than lemon-lime.
