Two very common causes for muscle cramping are magnesium deficiency and potassium deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency, calcium and the B vitamin complex would also be of importance in the broader picture.
Magnesium chloride topical spray or lotion (Mag Oil) can often offer rapid muscle cramp relief in many cases when applied directly to the problem area. The RDA for elemental magnesium for women is 310/320 mg/day. The RDA for men is 400/420 of elemental magnesium. Magnesium glycinate is a useful choice as a bioavailable form. Here is a link to a typical magnesium glycinate product :
Each of these tablets contains 100 mg of elemental magnesium, so a woman would need at least three tablets per day to get close to the RDA for elemental magnesium and get the remainder from the food you eat while a man would need 4 tablets and get the remainder from food. These would be minimal doses just to reach the RDA.
Here is a link to a typical mag oil spray :
Here is a list of potassium requirements for various people :
It is worth mentioning that other than via a prescription, over the counter potassium pills and capsules are only available in 99 mg increments so getting your potassium from food is a little more practical. Here is a link to a list of foods high in potassium :

I personally have never ever seen a liquid chlorophyll supplement that contains Magnesium in it. If you look at the back of every bottle of liquid chlorophyll it contains high amounts of copper sulfate.
In fact, in order to make liquid chlorophyll (better known as liquid chlorophyllin) the process actually removes the magnesium ion in the center of chlorophyll changing it's structure entirely and making 1 dose equal to 100% of daily value of copper.
I can attest to the fact that this supplement is extremely dangerous. 7 yrs & 2 mos ago I was poisoned by taking the recommended 3 doses of liquid chlorophyllin by Benevolent brand offered on Amazon. On that day, I felt it go directly to my brain. My eyes turned yellow and I had instant neuropathy in my hands and feet and was shuffling when I walked.
Since that day in March 2018, I have had permanent insomnia. I cannot fall asleep nor stay asleep EVER, without taking a drug to do so. Luckily, DMPS chelation, relieved me of the neuropathy, however, due to my previous yeast issues the DMPS chelation further destroyed my gut leaving me with leaky gut.
In other 3rd world countries that do not allow guns, copper sulfate, is the preferred choice of suicide poisoning. High doses cause the body's organs to shut down eventually resulting in permanent disability and eventually death.
I personally liken taking liquid chlorophyll due to it's high copper sulfate content comparable to drinking mercury. I've also experienced mercury poisoning from dentists that improperly removed 2 amalgam fillings at the same time.
Copper devices are used as birth control implants in the uterus of women. Before this was developed, they used to put 5 copper rods in a woman's arm to prevent pregnancy. The copper ions omitted from the woman's body not only disorient the sperm from being able to fertilize the egg (which is all I can find on the net now), but actually cuts the head off the sperm which is what I originally read about 5 years ago. NEVER EVER TAKE A COPPER SULFATE SUPPLEMENT OR ANY COPPER SUPPLEMENT. It is dangerous.
The late, Dr. Carl Pfeiffer MD, talked at great length on this in his book, Mental and Elemental Nutrients. He studied the mental patients and found that all had high copper to zinc ratios. Blood testing for Copper or Zinc should always be done at the same time to compare the ratio. Ratio should always be 1:1 when serum plasma numbers are divided. Anything higher will result in dysregulation of the delicate balance. Zinc supplements drive copper as well and can cause copper/zinc ratio to become unbalanced. I know this for a fact, as I have not only had my zinc/copper plasma tested 7 times, but have also had my husband's blood test as well. The only time it was not 1:1 for my husband and rose to 1:2 ratio is when he was taking zinc due to recommendations to avoid getting COVID. He immediately stopped taking zinc orotate, because of this.

I know your post is older but I want to clarify for the people reading, your reaction to magnesium is not an indication that you were overdosing and there was danger. Yes you needed to take a lower dose to ease symptoms (itching, redness, etc) but all those symptoms are actually signs of how severe your deficiency is! Think about when a body part goes numb from having the circulation cut off like you slept on your arm. When circulation returns there is tingling, burning, itching etc. When we are very depleated of magnesium, our organs and circulation system calcifies. When magnesium is increased, the process of calcification starts to reverse and you get those symptoms. Just take your magnesium in lower doses to gradually recover without the symptoms. But for goodness sake do not stop taking magnesium!
I have been researching and Magnesium Chloride quite specifically is the best one to take both topically and internally. Even if your digestion is poor, taking Magnesium Chloride internally will improve your digestion. Please research this and the great doctors who proved the amazing effect of internal Magnesium Chloride.

Magnesium Bicarbonate Solution
How to make Magnesium Chloride the expert recommends to drink and also use transdermally Bi carbonate of Magnesium... starting with adding a quantity into a bottle of carbonated water.. putting in the fridge, removing shaking etc. etc.... my mix was obviously not correct as the bottle on opening is still fizzy? Is there anyone in the EC community who can give a better description of how to make this Mag BI carbonate?i from Magnesium Chloride Thank you

First question - should I not put the DMSO in my magnesium oil?
Second question: What other forms of Magnesium should I take? I will take two capsules (400 mg) of Magnesium chelate at night if I know for sure I'm not going to be using the magnesium oil spray. At any rate - instead of my thumbing through 5,000 articles on NIH or PubMed about Magnesium (some of which contradict each other), can anyone tell me which forms of magnesium I should be taking and how much?

You could make a gentle form of magnesium yourself at home which is easy on the stomach and extremely bio-available. It's called Magnesium acetate and is made with ACV or white distilled vinegar and (plain non flavored) milk of magnesia. You'll need to get the brand that has as its inert ingredient only water as some contain a bleach called hypochlorite. Dollar general and CVS for sure carry those but dollar general is only two bucks a 12 oz bottle.
Anyway, add 2 tablespoons of the M O M to a glass and then add 8 tablespoons of your vinegar and stir until the reaction is complete ( you'll know this has occurred when the solution is clear.) You may need to add small increments of vinegar say 1/4 teaspoon at a time to get the solution clear. (Try the white distilled vinegar first until you get the right ratio).
Your milk of magnesia should contain 1200 mg of magnesium hydroxide per tablespoon, therefore this 10 tablespoon batch will yield 1008.8 mg or just over a gram of elemental magnesium which you could put preferably in a sealed glass container refrigerated and dose yourself accordingly. 1 tablespoon = 100+mg magnesium. Work up to what works right for you.
Good luck

Magnesium Gluconate
Regarding my healing. For 2 months I have been in terrible discomfort, tingling, burning and itching on my feet, hands, ankles, legs and different parts of my body. I did not know what this was after 3 trips to the doctor blood tests and further evaluations.
Finally one day I was going over my everyday routine of supplements and actions regarding my health.
I came to realize to my amazement that my problem was not in something I caught but something I myself was doing. MY PROBLEM WAS MAGNESIUM...FOR SURE. Here's why.
I was taking 500mg of mag gluconate sometimes twice a day, then spraying magnesium spray on my body, also soaking in a hot bathtub with epsom salts containing magnesium. When my doctor heard this she said STOP! I stopped 4 days ago after the the second day I'm back to normal no pain, not itching, no burning, no tingling.
I had red spots appear on my skin then disappear in 2 or 3 hours scaring me. Big blotches too in some places. The itching was horrid. The nerves in my hands an feet were under attack I thought it was RA and other issues. I'm 61 but otherwise in good health. All my labs came back near perfect...it was all a mystery until I stopped the magnesium.
I hope I helped someone out there that is going through the same thing.

Magnesium Gluconate
I have been using Magnesium Gluconate for about 3 months and also soaking in epsom salt hot baths. Well, it is has been determined that my doctor said to discontinue doing this because I have had rashes and red spots tingling and pain all over. Itching is the worst of it. You can develop a bad reaction to magnesium if you overdose on it. My intake was capsule form maybe 500 mg plus the salt baths. I thought I had shingles at first the feet, legs, fingers, ankles and other places on my body were in an off and on state of discomfort, pain and sometimes agony.
Magnesium needs to be used properly like any other herb or mineral. If not it can have a reverse reaction. I have since stopped all baths and magnesium intake for the foreseeable future. Hope this helps someone so they do not misdiagnose their condition.

Make 'Mag Oil' by mixing two parts magnesium flakes with one part water (dissolves with no heating required).
Rub the Mag Oil on the skin. The skin will absorb more than the digestive track, faster, and without loose stools or kidney overload as well. Put it on sore joints to help them along as well.
Combining this with the 1/4 teaspoon of borax in water per day has incredible synergy! They both seem to boost each other!

Some of the store bought mag oil is closer to 70% while a mix of a half cup of flakes to a half cup of water is more likely to be less than 50%. These 70% solutions are closer to a saturated solution and would tend to explain why they might be slightly more effective. Mixing flakes in lotion is another useful way of using mag flakes.

At first I bought Life Flo magnesium oil and used that. But I realized making my own is going to be a lot cheaper if I use it a lot.
I bought Ancient Minerals Mangesium flakes. I bring 1/2 cup distilled water to simmer on the stove in a stainless steel or glass pot. I remove it from the heat and add 1/2 cup magnesium flakes. According to some, this will not be as effective as store bought magnesium oil, but that makes no sense to me; I think it is an advertising thing.
I would guess magnesium flakes or oil from any reputable source would do.
I hope the magnesium oil will help your knees! It is great stuff.

I have been taking magnesium powder (Natural Calm) at night for a long time. I take about 500 mg this way and it helps me to sleep and keeps my digestion regular. One night recently, I had had a snack and didn't want to drink the amount of water I would need to take my magnesium powder. I have some Nature's Way Magnesium capsules so I took two of those instead, which was a total of 800 mg of magnesium. I wondered if this would cause diarrhea because if I took that much Natural Calm, it surely would have. Well, it did not; in fact, the next day my digestion was noticeably slow. Whether it is because Natural Calm is a more absorbable form of magnesium (magnesium citrate) than the other, which was magnesium oxide, or something else, I do not know. But what that means is that not all magnesium supplements are equal. If one form of magnesium isn't working for you as you might hope, try another.
Secondly, I got lazy this week and skipped a few days of magnesium oil on my back at bedtime. Even with an oral magnesium supplement, if I skip the topical magnesium oil I wake up with stiffness. I made sure to use my magnesium oil last night and can really tell a difference - I was much less stiff when I woke up today. Some people find that topical magnesium affects the bowels, but it doesn't in my case, at least in the amount I use. But what is interesting to note is that internal use of magnesium does not have nearly the same benefit to me to reduce pain and stiffness that topical magnesium does.
What does this mean? If you want to use magnesium for a health problem, you may need to experiment with amounts you use as well as the brand you use, as well as the way you deliver it to your body (orally or through the skin.) And it seems there is no one size fits all. I guess this is where healing takes on its art form. There is a science to healing, but it isn't a once size fits all deal. Each individual is complex and unique in his needs, thus the art aspect of healing.
So, that is my two cents worth of musing on magnesium today...

Arrhythmia
Magnesium oil is just 70% magnesium chloride dissolved in 30% water. My own view is that magnesium chloride is, without doubt, the best form of magnesium to use because even doctors administer it to ER for patients by IV who have just had a heart attack. And it works like magic to take the strain off the heart.
You should be able to buy magnesium oil easily from internet vendors and from health stores.
Also, because you are taking the mag oil transdermally and not ingesting it, your digestion will not be disturbed. I also think that, because magnesium chloride is not so alkaline as magnesium citrate and when ingested, the mag oil will not cause problems with digestion as does magnesium citrate. Indeed, I think that you will find that magnesium oil actually helps your digestion because of its chloride content. The normal dose of mag oil with water is 10 drops twice a day with meals.
And as Mike has also mentioned, Ancient Minerals brand is a good one to use.
When I had heart heart arrythmias and dizziness some years ago, it was the combination of magnesium oil together with lugols iodine that cured that problem for me. That's because I was deficient in both magnesium and iodine in my own diet. I take magnesium chloride and lugols iodine now on a daily basis and haven't suffered any arrythmias, dizziness or any other heart problems in the last 8 years and I'm 65 y o. Even just taking kelp extract(contains iodine) together with the magnesium every day would probably help you more.

They say Magnesium chloride is the most easily assimilated into the body, even though it doesn't have as much magnesium as other varieties.
If you buy a $20 bottle of Mg chloride from the health food store it will last ages, because the most You can take without getting an upset stomach is a quarter tsp a day. Using the Magnesium bath salts (which is Mg chloride) allows you to make any strength you like, and also be able to massage large amounts it into your body without getting an upset stomach.
I believe this Magnesium Chloride has amazing benefits that people won't believe. If you have ANY of the common old age afflictions, Memory, bones, etc. Try Magnesium Chloride. if your diet isn't supplying enough magnesium (and you don't even know if it isn't, blood tests don't pick it up) you might be amazed. I am not exaggerating.
Arrhythmia
Magnesium chloride is amazing, it cures much more than just arrhythmia. If you're old and decrepit, take Magnesium chloride every day, or Massage it into your skin if you want to absorb more without getting an upset stomach.
I believe Magnesium "Chloride" to be the best commonly used magnesium to use.
Magnesium Bicarbonate Solution
If you also have high blood pressure problems and/or cholesterol problems I would also try taking the following nutrients on a daily basis:
Kelp -- Especially for the iodine and beneficial minerals.
Niacin - 500 mgs twice a day. Or you could take the slow release, no-flush niacin form -- inositol hexanicotinate(1500mgs twice a day). The more niacin the better the outcome. Niacin is about the best nutrient I know for relaxing the mind and body(my own experience) -- but you will have to take the higher non-RDA dosages to get this relaxing effect. We are all deficient in most of the B Vitamins anyway because of our poor diets, so supplementing Brewer's Yeast(best natural B vitamin source) or B50 complex on a daily basis would also problably help most people here as well.
Vitamin C -- at least 3 to 8 grams a day(depending on the seriousness your heart or blood condition) with water in separate 1 gm doses throughout the day. As per Linus Pauling's successful heart research.
Lysine -- 3 to 8 gms a day. Take it together with the Vitamin C in water every day. As per Linus Pauling's heart research.
Green Tea 3 times a day. Works together with the Vitamin C and lysine to help cure problems like arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure. As per Linus Pauling's heart research.
Chanca piedra -- Most people don't realize how beneficial and wide-acting this herb is for the body. This one lowers dangerous excess blood calcium, lowers blood pressure, lowers blood sugar, dissolves and removes gallstones and kidney stones, lowers cholesterol and is also strongly anti-viral.
Try to avoid excess gluten, dairy and sugar in your diet.
