You might want to try a magnesium supplement...say every other day (not over doing it). Daily intact for a male is 420 mg...for a gal, 320.

Into my 40s...I suffered a lot from it. After I started the magnesium, it went down to once a year.

Magnesium Glycinate 200mg at CVS or other local phamacy.

I wouldn’t worry too much about “overdoing it”, and it depends a lot on what form of Mg you take because the absorption varies considerably. I take two 500 milligram magnesium oxide each day (poorly absorbed but keeps things moving) and one 400 milligram magnesium glycinate (absorbed much better). And K2 also and still occasionally get calf cramps, which seems to have more to do with my legs getting cold at night than anything else.

I take K2 and Magnesium and still get them. I’ve found drinking an ounce or 2 of pickle juice nightly helps A LOT. If I go any time without drinking the juice and get one, I immediately down a few ounces of juice and it goes away.
