Vitamin C

[Jauny]

I've been following advice on here and taking iron bisgycinate usually with some orange juice before going to bed on alternate nights. However I haven't noticed any improvement in my RLS and I want to change to taking a vit C tablet instead of the juice as I can probably take that more consistently. However the only vit C on its own that I could find is 500mg tablets. This is more than the recommended 100mg but I wondered if it is a problem?

It's fine

Great. Thank you.

While orange juice is high in vit C it is also very high in sugar which does you more harm than the vit C does good. You can reduce your requirement for vitamin C by reducing your carbohydrate (esp. grain based foods) intake which will also reduce your RLS.

I don't have many grain based foods really.

Iron at night only seems to work for a small minority on here.
