Women face unique challenges in their lives that men just don't have to face.  They are often pulled in so many directions, all while keeping a smile on their face as yep, it is that time of the month.  From teens who suffer from period cramps to a middle-aged woman with endometrioses, period pain is REAL!   Let's not forgot about those wonderful leg cramps that many pregnant women endure during pregnancy.  Oh, then there are post-partum cramps too!

By Sarah Kirton, PR Writer Delivery Rank Cameron C. Murphy, Ph.D - VP Operations and Product Development Krampade - highlights to DeliveryRank the undeniable benefits of the Krampade high potassium powder products on performance, reduction of cramps and recovery. Why the love for Potassium? Low potassium consumption is the single largest nutrient deficit in the developed world.
