You can switch to a calcium-magnesium
supplement with a heavier ratio of magne-
sium to calcium. You can also take addition-
al, separate magnesium. A good option, in
this case, would be magnesium citrate, which
is available from various companies (Allergy
Research Group has a nice magnesium cit-
rate in capsule form).
While there may not be a great body of
research to support the value of
bioflavonoids and vitamin C in alleviating
restless leg syndrome, it certainly makes
sense. Flavonoids are known for their effect
in enhancing the strength of the peripheral
vascular system, along with vitamin C. You
can take a conventional “bioflavonoid” sup-
plement. Solgar, for example, has a product
called “Hy-Bio” tablets, with 600 mg of
flavonoids and 500 mg of vitamin C per
tablet. Or, you can take one of the various
When choosing a vitamin E supplement, I
suggest a natural, mixed tocopherol vitamin E
softgel. The initial dosage should be at least
400 to 800 IU daily. Some vitamin E supple-
ments have high levels of “tocotrienols.”
Under certain conditions (if you have heart
disease, for example) you might want to
choose a mixed tocopherol vitamin E with
tocotrienols. Talk to the pharmacists or nutri-
tionists at Willner Chemists, or your health
professional, for guidance on which type of
vitamin E supplement you should be using.
Whatever you do, be sure to avoid the syn-
thetic form of vitamin E, dl-alpha tocopherol.

phyto-antioxidant complex formulations, that
contain blends of flavonoid-rich extracts from
a number of natural plant sources. The
Willner Chemists product, “Antiox Phyto
Complex” or “Antiox Phyto Blend” is an
excellent example.
The last supplement I will suggest you con-
sider when struggling with restless leg syn-
drome is vitamin E. In one study, nine
patients with a history of restless leg syn-
drome were treated with vitamin E at a dose
of 300–1,600 IU/day. Seven of the patients
experienced prompt and almost complete
relief and the other 2 patients reported
improvements of 75% and 50%, respectively.
Symptoms tended to recur if vitamin E was
discontinued. (Ayres S Jr, Mihan R. “Restless
legs” syndrome: response to vitamin E. J Appl
Nutr 1973;25(3–4):8–15.; Ayres S Jr, Mihan
R. Leg cramps (Systremma) and “restless legs”
syndrome. Calif Med 1969;111:87–91.)
