Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) Vitamins and Treatments in Chandler, Arizona
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) causes an uncontrollable urge to move your legs, often accompanied by tingling, crawling sensations, or discomfort, making it hard to sleep. Low iron, magnesium, and vitamin deficiencies—including B, C, D, and E—can worsen symptoms.
Vitamins and Nutrients That May Help

Magnesium: Supports nerve and muscle function.
-
Vitamin D: Improves RLS severity; found in sunlight, fatty fish, and fortified foods.
