How MUCH potassium to avoid cramps?

[DaMan]

I'm on creatine and cramp like crazy, so I bought a bottle of potassium tabs @ 99mg which, according to Macro is the legal max. That's only a measly 3% of the USRDA, though...

That aside, how many should I take to avoid or reduce cramping?

Thx.

I don't know how many mg are in them, but I know people who used to eat one to two banana's a day to allevate cramping. Seemed to work for them.

Most prescription are 400-600mg

Try staying hydrated instead. If thats not the problem, save your money and just eat bananas. Taking potassium supplements is dangerous. Thats why the tablets are such small doses.

BE CAREFULL W/CALCIUM PILLS YOU CAN STOP YOUR HEART. EAT LOTS OF BANANA, HELPS ME ALOT.
JUST MY OPINION.
