It is generally understood that human beings are carbon-based organisms, fusing little carbon tubes together to form complex, mushy structures capable of thought, love, and locomotion. It is also known that these structures sometimes like to “take the edge off” by consuming ethanol, amphetamine, etc. In such cases, it is important to supplement your body with magnesium. Tired? Mag it! Down? Mag time! Liver damage? MAXIMUM MAG! Some people say magnesium doesn’t really do anything and you just need to quit. What do we tell them?
Solution
We tell them: HELL NO. You’re about to become a magnesium-based lifeform. The age of the primitive carbon-man is done. No longer must mankind rely on slow-working background radiation to take us further into our genetic destiny. This is the era of guided evolution, and magnesium is the key. You are the first of your species. The next step in human evolution. An advanced magnesium proto-man who mags it up, drinks it down, and sniffs it sideways!
It’s usually all of the above. Also calcium. Electrolytes are fuel for your nervous system, with various uses all over the board. Missing most any of them can produce cramps in the basic sense.
Exactly. I’ve noticed that I don’t have cramps when I drink a lot of coconut water (excellent source of potassium). Like you said, the bottom line is that you need fluids and electrolytes.
Up your magnesium game.
0mg!
Or salt.
Or potassium.
Or water.

Or polonium.
Magnesium specifically is utilized for muscle relaxation. Potassium is used for muscle contraction.
Yes, but cramps can also be caused by a lack of electrolytes and dehydration.

Can we please not spread misinformation. Mg=relaxation and K+=contraction is simplistic. Both are needed.
