I’d try magnesium (lack thereof is usually associated with cramping up)

And I’d be careful with supplementing potassium without prior clinically diagnosed lack thereof (ie bloodwork done)
It can mess with your heart rhythm (which is something you do not want especially in light of thentragedy that happened with the poor boy in Australia)
If you are looking for a good natural source of minerals. The good old banana 🍌
