Possible help for restless legs?

[Boscoejean]

"L-theanine may help with restless legs syndrome (RLS) because it can increase GABA levels in the brain. GABA is a chemical that can help calm the brain.

How it works

L-theanine can be taken as a supplement or in tea.

It's recommended to take it in the evening before bed.

L-theanine can be taken with melatonin, but you should check with your doctor before taking it with prescription medications.

Other treatments for RLS

Magnesium oxide and vitamin B6 supplements may help improve sleep quality and RLS symptoms.

Iron supplements may help because the body needs iron to make dopamine, which helps control movement.

Massaging your legs

Taking a hot bath in the evening

Applying a hot compress to your leg muscles

When to seek help

If you're experiencing more serious sleep issues like insomnia or sleep apnea, L-theanine likely won't help.

Supplement safety

When choosing a supplement, look for independently tested products and consult a healthcare provider. "

In addition to using several of the items you have listed, I find rubbing magnesium oil on my legs quite effective as well.

I agree. I do that every night too. For anyone living in the UK this is the company I’m using.

I developed RLS and found that if I use my vibration plate before I go to sleep, it generally heads off the RLS symptoms.
