my bariatric bypass was 5 months ago. Does anyone know of a good potassium supplement and where to get it?

leg cramps can be caused by many things beside potassium.. -low calcium,magnesium, vit D, not enough salts...

for mineral supplement I use the following: I mix that in 8 oz of water - add flavor and just drink it...

My nutritionist told me to drink coconu****er for leg cramps. It has helped me so far, so I drink 4 ounces every night before I go to bed.

I admit - I'm childish and I hate the flavour of plain water plus I get terrible leg cramps. Keeping my legs warm helps but what I mainly do is use Powerade Zero drops in my water throughout the day. Just like that powder it turns every drink into a sports/electrolyte bevvy. And it tastes pretty good.
