Hi, I have just been told that putting one of these effervescent tablets in water and drinking one a day will replace all minerals etc lost through sweating..

Has anyone else heard of this or are taking this... I am asking as I suffer from cramp quite frequently and my friend says this will cure it.

Just wanted to know if anyone else has benefitted from this stuff...xx

not heard of it, but when my daughter suffered cramp badly & frequently I was told to put more salt in her food - by the doctor..

Doris - could you confirm that you mean Bio K rather than Boi K.

Definitely Boi K.. xx

BOI-K de MERCK S.L.

Rosemary

I use it and it certainly does the trick.

Thanks for the replies... I did take a dose earlier and so far tonight I haven't had leg cramps... I have also noticed that usually at this time of night I generally have a headache... that has not happened tonight either.... so maybe it is a good thing to take... I suppose it's the same principle as electrolytes we take in England... xx

Do you purchase it in Spain?

My OH suffers from leg-cramps and finds that Diaoralyte helps.

If you're having cramps it could be a sign of a potassium deficiency, try consuming more bananas, avocados, salmon, etc. or anything high in potassium.

Yes - Boi K (and Bio K incidentally) are potassium supplements which you shouldn't need if your diet is satisfactory. However I suffer from muscle cramps in sweaty weather and I would consider them - and extra salt which I do anyway.

Yes, from the Farmacia.

Yes I get them from the Farmacia... it is in fact a potassium and vitamin C supplement.. they are very cheap.

This is day two now and I have definitely noticed a difference... no cramps and no headache... and I'm sure I have more energy xx

I just bought some from our local farmacia. It'll be interesting to see how it performs. Dioralyte has worked for her but not always.
