How to eliminate nocturnal leg cramps

@lorry I was told that synthetic B6 can cause a lot of issues but the natural B6 from food if you get to much it will just flash out from your system. My question is do we have to avoid both synthetic & natural too? My husband is having a lot of cramp issues now & we are trying to figure out what’s wrong, also thyroid might be the issue too!

@isamuel You are unlikely to get B6 toxicity from food. If you have issues step one is to get a full blood scan. Liver, kidney, thyroid, inflammation, B6, magnesium - everything. Once you have that data (even if it shows all levels are normal) you have a starting point and a process of elimination can begin.
Guessing is a recipe for making things worse.
I started with a full scan but B6 is not a usual test. If you don’t take any supplements it’s highly unlikely you have high levels. I didn’t know I took B6, it was ‘hidden’ in a magnesium supplement. Check the labels on the bottles/packets of anything you take. Good luck.

I get painful leg cramps in the night that seem to run in episodes. Won’t have any for several weeks then have them several nights in a row. The worst are the ones in my thighs.
I am trying a Magnesium supplement to see if it helps.
