[|AI|]  Hello, Your calcium level is 7. In best of my knowledge calcium should be between 9-11 mg percent. So your calcium levels are very low. Low calcium, magnesium & low blood sugar may lead to cramps in arms and legs. You should do following to correct your level of calcium:-Take citrate preparation of calcium. This type of calcium preparation is absorbed well & it has good bio availability.- You may have diet rich in calcium like milk and milk products, egg,cheese, etc.- Take vitamin D supplements. Without vitamin D calcium is not absorbed in body. Take all these for at least 4-6 months. Concomitant use of vitamin E preparation with L carnitine decrease the chances of occurrence of cramps. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
