Suggest Remedy For Persistent Muscle Cramps In Leg

I am bothered by leg/ankle/foot cramps at night. I drink at least 40 oz. liquid a day, soak my feet every am in epsom salts, eat very little protein from meat. I weigh 113 # s. I have just bought potassium gluconate with 550 mgs/90mgs potassium. I plan on taking one every other day. Do you think it will help/ (I also get 1000mgs calcium daily)
