    Though your spasms be caused by any of a number of things, do make sure you are getting enough calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D- all 3 work together and it's known that they help prevent muscle cramps and spasms.
    Muscle cramps are often a symptom of calcium deficiency.

    I do take magnesium...and it helps. I take powdered mag but have trouble finding it commercially. Does anyone else take powdered?

    Emergen-C and the other copycat electrolyte replacements contain magnesium. Also the private label brand I get at my natural food stores is encapsulated calcium and magnesium citrate powder. Nicer than just stirring a powder into liquid, yuk.
