I’m 53, a Type 1 diabetic since the age of 13 (40 years, I maintain good control so no effects from diabetes), and I have always experienced profuse sweating. So finding something that would address muscle spasms and not totally blow up my blood glucose level has always been a challenge.
In the late 1990s, I worked on an archaeological survey at Fort Polk, Louisiana during the summer in the pine forests. Wearing jeans and snake gaiters, after about 2 hours of doing shovel testing, I was soaked in sweat and experienced muscle spasms. The solution I found then was to drink a “11.5 fl oz Low Sodium V8” (1250mg Potassium, 25% RDA) before and after work. This worked but who wants to drink a heavy tomato juice before excessive exercise?
On cave trips and outdoor exercise, I have also used “Pedialyte Classic Powder Packs.” I would use 1 or more at a time. Each packet supplies 370mg, 8% RDA of potassium. But the issue here is that these are relatively expensive for the amount I had to use.
And then I found “Krampade!” I have used both “Krampade 2.0 2K Zero Sugar” and “Krampade 2.0 2K Reduced Sugar.” The powder is easy to mix in water. “Krampade” has made a huge difference in my being able to hike and carry a heavy pack in the high humidity of Tennessee. It has prevented muscle spasms, and if I feel one coming on, drinking a mixture of “Krampade” very quickly prevents a spasm from escalating. I have also noticed a positive difference in recovery afterwards.
“Krampade” is both highly effective and inexpensive! Plus, it is a US based company. The customer service has been outstanding! I want to say thanks to Dr. Eric Murphy, CEO, for going the extra mile in terms of customer service! This is a company that you want to do business with and I will continue to achieve my goals using their product! Thanks
