    What does not work?

    Magnesium Combined With Other Minerals - Most magnesium capsules found in the stores are combined with calcium which was not found to be very effective in treating restless legs. Magnesium helps your muscles to relax while calcium helps your muscles to flex. People who suffer from restless legs do not need additional help with muscles tension.

    Magnesium Purchased at Stores Can be effective but usually requires high doses as absorption becomes an issue. Also, it is difficult to find 100% magnesium and in most cases the magnesium is combined with calcium which will affect the results.

    Iron Supplements Can be dangerous if not taken properly. This works on some people but in general, iron supplements do not appear to work on a large scale. If you feel you have low iron levels, modify your diet to include foods high in iron such as beef, lamb, pork, beans, nuts and green vegetables.

    Valerian Root with Hops  – Can take the edge off but in most cases has not proved to work. Note: Valerian root is an excellent herb to help you sleep or relax.

    Vitamin B12Some people have reported decreased severity and frequency of symptoms with vitamin B12.

    External Rubs/Massages Provides brief relief in some cases. RLS needs to be addressed internally.

    nline documents and E-books - We have Read them all, no success and no one reported success with them either.

    Decreased Salt / Sodium / Dairy Diets or Diet Changes- Does not work or decrease the frequency of RLS. We have not come across anyone who has reported relief from changing their diet.
