I had better results with Calcium than potassium. Started taking supplements everyday (and maybe a second dose on big-bike-ride days) and the late-night foot-arch charlie-horses disappeared.

Magnesium. You should take magnesium any time you take calcium, since they need to be in balance, but when I get cramps it's much more likely to be magnesium that's the culprit.

Magnesium worked for me when I had that issue. I don't think I've gotten a single nighttime foot cramp since I started taking it.
