Nighttime leg cramps are a sudden intense pain in the thigh or calf. A cramp is a tight muscle that won't relax. They can be caused by mineral deficiency.
The most common cause of nocturnal leg cramps is calcium deficiency. If you are postmenopausal, trying to lose weight, or don't consume enough calcium, you are vulnerable to developing leg cramps. It's quite alarming to realize the extent of calcium deficiency in our population, particularly among women.
