I’ve found that 2 bananas per day, 450 mg of Magnesium Glycinate, and an additional 99 mg of Potassium, along with stretching during the day helped. I had severe cramps and they’ve diminished to almost non-existent.

I do drink a lot of water every day.
Water can flush out nutrients and electrolytes so I’ve found that taking the supplements works for me.

I had to research when to take them and space them between other meds and supplements I must take for everything to work as intended. You may as well.

I read and heard about Prednisone depleting minerals and indirectly causing unwanted side-effects.

Talk with your doctor(s) before adding any supplements. I did.

Best wishes.
