I have night time cramps in my legs, feet and ankles that are so bad the muscles hurt for days after a cramp. I can usually get rid of the cramp by getting up and walking, but they usually come back the moment I lie back down. Sometimes it's hard to stand up because a strong cramp in the calf will cause my foot and toes to point. One of my doctors mentioned that they used to prescribe quinine, but can't anymore. So I googled it and found Hyland's Leg Cramps tablets. They contain Cinchona Officinalis, which contains quinine. If I get a cramp during the night, I reach over to my bedside table and take one tablet, dissolved under the tongue. I works astonishingly fast, less than a minute. I have also discovered that I can prevent the cramps by using a small 12 inch by 12 inch infrared light panel on my calves, ankles and feet. For the light to work, I have to use it every day or two for 15 minutes or more. I often forget or just don't feel like it, so the tablets are now what I fall back on. I suffered with this for years before I found these two remedies (quinine and infrared light). For some reason doctors don't know that quinine is still available in the form of cinchona tree bark.

I have had extreme leg cramps for over 10 years. I drank tonic water for relief until amount needed was more than I could drink. I now take Hyland's leg cramps, 4-6 tablets a night is working for now.

Used (in a combination of ingredients in "Hyland's Leg Cramps") for relief of nightly leg cramps. Very effective for me (2-3 tablets normally taken at bedtime, in addition to a daily banana)

Tried taking magnesium tablets, calcium tablets and potassium tablets as an early evening regiment before bed, but still could not control cramps. My primary care doctor mentioned tonic water as a possible remedy because of this ingredient. Though he mentioned it offhand, as more of a "wives tale" than a definite remedy or cure. Though the water is hard to drink, the cramps have gone away. They stay away as long as I drink at least 1 to 2 liters a day. I don't know if the tonic water uses genuine plant extract or if they use an imitation quinine/cinchona. In any case, for extremely painful leg cramps theis ingredient works.Read More Read Less
