Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) Vitamins and Treatments in Gilbert, Arizona
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) causes an uncontrollable urge to move your legs, often with tingling, crawling, or uncomfortable sensations, making sleep difficult. Nutrient deficiencies—such as magnesium, iron, and vitamins 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.
-
Vitamins C & E: Antioxidants that may reduce symptoms; vitamin C also helps absorb iron.
-
Iron: Low iron or ferritin levels are linked to RLS; pair iron-rich foods with citrus for better absorption.
Lifestyle and Dietary Tips
-
Avoid excitatory additives like MSG or aspartame.
-
Maintain a consistent sleep schedule and a comfortable sleep environment.
-
Moderate exercise and healthy diet may relieve symptoms.
