    Have they figured out why you get cramps nowadays? I have heard many explanations but none seems to be backed scientifically.

        Some skeletal muscle cramps do not have a known cause.

        Yeah so they haven’t figured it out just yet (except when you lack nutrients etc) 😔.

        I and my 3 brothers are like the “cramp brothers”, insanely easy to get stupid cramps. And 2 of us have been world top athletes, so it’s not a nutrition problem for us at least.

      Magnesium. (prevents, not causes)

      I’ve also heard that tonic water with quinine will stop cramping pretty much right away, though I haven’t tried it personally.
