Not just mustard stops leg cramps (I have some packets in my bathroom, and travel with some packets), but also apple cider vinegar, kim chee, and pickle juice. There is a scientific reason for this, and it has to do with specific types of taste receptors on the tongue. There was a program on the Peoples Pharmacy regarding this; the scientists, who were runners, researched this and came up with a formulated gel that is now sold in running stores (sorry don’t know the name).
Low Mg can also cause cramps, and Mg capsules (450 mg) before bed can help.
