Science has yet to come up with a cure, yet alone a definitive method for restless leg syndrome relief for so many sufferers. This is partly because everybody’s bodies are different and will react differently to different treatments.
This is the reason why many look for ways to find restless leg syndrome relief through various natural supplements and remedies. Since everybody reacts differently to different remedies, it’s important to go about supplementing with the mentality of trial and error. What works for one person may not work for another. Here are some of the best natural RLS treatments that we’ve found to be most helpful and which you can try to help find your own relief.
Magnesium Malate
Magnesium Malate is a blend of magnesium and malic acid. The naturally occurring substance that helps us produce energy while we are preforming an activity, malic acid helps the body better absorb the magnesium that we are taking. Magnesium is one of the most crucial minerals that our bodies need fuel every organ in our bodies.
Even though this is a crucial mineral to our bodies, we typically do not get enough of this precious mineral which can affect our health. This upset to our body’s balance can cause problems, which is why there is a growing awareness about a possible link between a lack of magnesium and the onset of RLS symptoms. Many people with restless leg syndrome have found relief by taking this vital mineral, which is generally the first thing most human bodies go deficient in.
The latest medical research indicates that the RLS is likely a neurological disorder caused by malfunctioning dopamine receptors in the brain. Magnesium malate is designed to bind to aluminum and other toxins that clog these receptors, clearing the channel of communication for these receptors to begin working properly again and in turn, drastically decrease RLS symptoms.
Valerian Root
Valerian root is well known for its calming effect on the body and many people that have RLS symptoms have experienced better sleep due to this effect.
Since RLS is classified as a neurological disorder, it can affect your brain, your spinal cord, and your central nervous system. Valerian root is a sedative which can help calm your central nervous system which can allow a more restful sleep.
For many sufferers of restless leg syndrome, this one herb has spelled relief when nothing else has worked. However, keep in mind, there are a select few people who have no relief when it comes to this herb. It simply does nothing for them. This is why it’s always good to check for yourself what works and what doesn’t.
Folic Acid
Folic acid is the synthetic version of vitamin b-9. Vitamin b-9 is a very important vitamin since it is crucial to the production of both DNA and RNA. Folic acid is also key to preventing anemia since your body uses it to produce red blood cells. Folic acid deficiencies are well known to being dangerous to pregnant women.
One of the symptoms of a folic acid deficiency is RLS which is how restless leg syndrome can be considered a secondary condition as well. Secondary restless leg syndrome can be a symptom of kidney conditions, nutritional deficiencies, and nerve damage. Three of the vitamin deficiencies that can cause restless leg syndrome are vitamin E deficiencies, magnesium deficiencies, and folic acid deficiencies.
Folic acid provides restless leg syndrome relief mainly by assisting the nerves in their proper functioning, especially when combined with magnesium malate.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a very important vitamin because it is enhances your circulatory system. This is believed to help you improve the bioavailability of the 
vital vitamins, minerals, and oxygen to the muscles of your legs. Many people that have begun a routine regimen of vitamin E have gotten better sleep without being disturbed by involuntary leg movements at all.
Vitamin E also provides relief for restless leg syndrome sufferers by assisting in the repair and production of myelin, which is a protectant for nerves. It’s similar to the plastic coating of electrical wiring. Myelin is that coating.
Probiotics
Probiotics have made a huge splash lately in the natural supplement world, however, they are among some of the oldest therapeutic methods that humankind has seen. There are numerous ways it has been known to help relieve RLS.
One of the most important discoveries is that probiotics, especially the particular strain that we use in Seratame, Lactobacillus plantarum 299, is highly efficient at helping the body to absorb and assimilate iron. As we have seen, many issues that restless leg patients have is with their ability to assimilate iron from their blood so that it can cross the blood-brain barrier.
Lactobacillus plantarum 299 has been studied and shown to help achieve this. It also has been shown to help regulate the bioavailability of other vitamins and nutrients as well which can help supercharge your supplements.
Restless leg syndrome relief is possible and the above 5 nutrients are keys in the battle that so many are going through each night. The trick is to continue trying different remedies and methods until you find the right combination that your body agrees with.
