16. I had killer cramps, including torso cramps

and tried many remedies --tonic water, supplements, electrolyte drinks, Endurolytes capsules (meant for runners, cyclists). My cramps were occasionally so bad that I told my neighbors not to call the cops if they heard screaming (and I am not normally a screamer.) I found this product via Google and was desperate enough to give it a shot.

Anyway, I took one dose -- it was the most vile-tasting stuff ever, BUT it seems to have worked and I'd have taken cyanide to stop the pain!! It's about $15 for 8 oz. (with unconditional money-back guarantee.) You only need a capful and it doesn't 'expire'. All natural ingredients of vinegar, ginger, garlic and does not need refrigeration so you can keep it on your nightstand.

I suggest you go to their website and read about it. Good luck.
