[QUOTE="Pathfinder075, post: 1163250, member: 45712"] I would say it depends if you take medication that depletes Magnesium. I take a number of asthma inhalers that do and I as such, carry them, because it's better than the serious screaming painful cramps I get if I don't take them. But if you are fit and healthy, maybe try and get a generic electrolyte/vitamin type tablet like Berocca. I also use Scifit Hydro tablets (mainly because they cost about £2 a tube) instead of Magnesium tablets. A basic multivit/electrolyte tab you drop in water. They contain Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium and Zinc, plus a selection of vitamins. Generally used if I have got dehydrated at the gym. I will be carrying 2-3 tubes of them when i'm out on Camino in a few weeks. I will generally put one in my water bottle and drink maybe half a litre of it before bed and the other half first thing in the morning. When on Camino I carry electrolyte tablets (for day to day) and dioralyte sachets (for when it gets really bad). Sometimes I have the odd can of Monster Green. ;) [/QUOTE]
