Question about herbal supplements...?

I just started taking two herbal supplements - one containing ginseng and one containing chromium picolinate. I took them two days in a row and ended up with horrible, crippling leg cramps at night. Does anyone know if either of these two supplements cause this? I looked online and didn't see anything about it. I'm going to take potassium now too...but I was just wondering what's going on.

P.S. I'm taking potassium now because I've heard that cramps can be caused by a lack of potassium (among other things...). I don't eat the healthiest so I'm trying to use supplements to help with some fatigue and other borderline ailments (I'm borderline hypertension, I'm borderline diabetic, etc.).

it's the chromium. stop taking it and eat avocadoes, higher in potassium than bananas, and easier for the body to assimilate than supplements.
