1 gram is 1000 milligrams

Re: cramps/muscle spasms

OK, the cramps are back, just as I started my pre-summer cycle (winny-v, tren-a and EQ). So I just picked up another 300 cap bottle of taurine, 500 mg's per cap and reread this thread. I can't remember how much 1 gram of powder equates to in 500 mg caps. Can someone refresh my memory? Thanks!

I used this for a colonoscopy prep. I cramped like a mofo haha

Yeah that is concentrated in multiple GRAMS not 400 mg. If you wish mag oxide is also good. it is the salt attached to the mag molecule. citrate is a natural salt and oxide is inorganic. Oxide is what you find the most. It is what I have right now.

$00 mg before bed is fine for most folk and helps me a lot. if it is bad then 400moring and 400 eve (with food or milk)

ZMA wouldn't be a bad route.

yeah that would be a pretty good one to add in as well.

Re: cramps/muscle spasms

the chelated version is better imo and it doesnt give you the nasty dreaded jungle shits. well for most normal people haha

Re: cramps/muscle spasms

yep taurine is great. start at 2-3g and increase it from there if need be. i am pretty sure this happens to all of us that train really hard and it sucks ass big time

I used this dosing and it worked. I had to up on the dose and split it up through out the day but it helped me.

Re: cramps/muscle spasms

Lex, are referring to back pumps?? The only tried and true supplement used by lifters especially those taking oral aas like dbol, drol, winny, etc. is Taurine. Everything else is icing on the cake and will help you but not like Taurine.

Baby beat me to it. I use 400 mg mag citrate 2x ed. I rarely have cramps any more.

Re: cramps/muscle spasms

What's the mag BABY1? Is it a prescription muscle relaxer or OTC?

Also, update on my cramping - I went to the supplement store last Saturday and bought some Taurine. Started taking 2 grams/day for first couple then increased to 3 grams/day and haven't cramped up since! That stuff really works! Thanks everyone for letting me know about it. I still have tightness in lower back however so a muscle relaxer might actually make sense.

magnesium

Re: cramps/muscle spasms

you can raise the taurine up a gram or 2 more and it wont hurt anything if the tightness is still there. lots of people use it with dbol and drol to get rid of the dreaded low back pumps that are pretty constant with those compounds. the mag is just magnesium supps man. look at chelated mag if you are going to go that route. it is the one that is best absorbed by the body

Re: cramps/muscle spasms

Fuck this. Another sleepless night. I'm off to the supplement store to purchase some Taurine. Thank you everyone for helping a brother out and the quick replies. Not sure how much longer I can maintain the sleepless nights, missed training days and general misery! I'll keep everyone posted as to how it works. The only other thing I can think of is seeing if my doc will script me some muscle relaxers but I'm thinking those are dished out about as much as opiates these days!

Get the mag, it is a muscle relaxer
