I've always had problems with muscle cramps, even in my exceptionally fit days. When I got certified in Monterey Bay in 51 degree water, the weekend was just one big muscle cramp. Talk about uncomfortable. I found that a protein drink, bananas, and a lot of mental relaxation helped, but muscle cramps were always just one unintentionally strong leg kick away.
Last summer I started taking a multivitamin to help manage life stress; Relacore vitamins, available at Costco. I noticed they had a calming effect on me. Shortly afterwards my wife and I took our advanced class in Lake Tahoe. Lo and behold, no muscle cramps! I mean none. A few months later we went diving every day for five days in Cozumel, 2-3 dives per day. The only day I had muscle cramps was the day I forgot the vitamins. Now I won't dive without them.
People say vitamins just give you expensive pee, but I've definitely noticed a positive physiological change.
