I'm going to try this stuff out. I've been getting calf cramps the last 30 minutes of 90 minute workouts, depending on the types of sets we're doing (it's worse on distance sets).
I saw a guy in my group chugging something after workout and he said he's less sore the next day if he drinks it.

Ive tried everything mentioned above, including a piece of toast with peanut butter and down it with fruit juice, or an apple with a handful of "Costco fruit and nut medley" only to get stomach cramps... I don't use Gatorade or G2 anymore because it gave me heartburn, (really bad heartburn) even as a recovery drink (it also contain's the dreaded high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS))
I now use Cytomax Natural Citrus Flavor, one to 2 hours before workout. Why not just before the workout? I don't like to leave the pool during a set to use the restroom...(I abandoned Pre-Formance because of the high Cholesterol)
During the workout I sip water only (not gulps). I will say that for whatever reason, I do not get leg cramps any more.
I get it from Bodybuilding.com, but when I want to try something new, I walk into GNC, that way if it doesn't agree with me, I can take it back and get a refund or credit without losing the 2 way shipping cost. I have two scoops of Muscle-Milk or 1 scoop Muscle-Milk plus (low Cholesterol) mixed with 12oz of water as a recovery drink after workout upon reaching my car.
