supplements or energy drink for diving

[justdivepassion]

hi all, I'm wondering for some suggestions regarding energy drinks or supplements that could be useful for diving. I remember I used some magnesium several times and helped me avoiding cramps and reduce fatigue. is there any specific product on the market? I remember some years ago I used a product from US diverlite or something similar, butI do not find in internet. any suggestion on how you manage fatigue, cramps, etc is welcome. (I am recreational diver, sometimes I do xr tec dives but not too much deep - less than 70mt).thanks in advance!!!

250-300mg Magnesium a day will effectively reduce your cramps to 0. 500mg of Magnesium a day will also eliminate cramps but causes the shits which also makes you dehydrated

Energy drinks include caffeine, taurine and end etc. I am not a doctor but my rule is very simple: eat healthy food and not to overeat before diving, drink plenty of water, drink simple vitamins (e.g. B6) and magnesium. Also, you need to maintain reasonable fitness level as well

thanks guys!!
yes, I take not too much magnesium because I've already tried what happens if too much
i drink normally 1 liter of water during the day of dive, some friends of mine drinks gatorade or similar but I do not like, eventually I take a coke light.
