Vitamin and Mineral Deficiencies

• Leg cramps are commonly caused by a lack of Vitamin E, magnesium, and calcium in the blood. Vitamin supplements can help fix this problem
  
  

Dehydration

• Proper hydration is necessary for muscle function. If you are dehydrated, your muscles can't contract and relax correctly, which often leads to leg cramps.
  
  

Overexertion

• Some people get leg cramps when they exercise or walk too much. Overexertion is a common cause of cramps that occur during the day.
  
  

Poor Circulation

• Leg cramps often occur in older people because of poor circulation. Yellow toenails, cold feet, and decreased pulse in the ankles are common signs of circulation problems.
  
  

Medical Conditions

• Leg cramps are commonly seen in people suffering from anemia and thyroid gland disorders. Treating the pre-existing condition is the only remedy.
