to rest better!!!

How Does It Work?
Night time leg cramps are sudden, involuntary contractions of the leg muscles that occur during the night or while at rest.

Depletion of certain minerals known as electrolytes – magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium – have long been linked to leg cramps. (Marathon runners sweating out the miles are particularly prone to this variety). Certain drugs, such as diuretics have also been cited as a cause of leg cramps. These minerals, if imbalanced, can irritate and confuse the muscles.

Leg Cramp Pain caused by a mineral imbalance may benefit from Leg-Gesic.

Leg-Gesic is perfectly balanced for optimum benefit.
You can see the minerals and taste the potency.
Leg-Gesic is a liquid supplement, liquids are more easily absorbed and utilized by the body than hard, rock, tablet forms of supplements.
If the body cannot absorb it…..it cannot use it!

Leg-Gesic is offered to you in two flavors at the present time: Licorice and Vanilla. It can be mixed with food or beverages to add variety, but it tastes like a high potency tonic that really works!!

Unique Leg-Gesic Formula:
Magnesium Glycinate 300mg
One of the chief functions of magnesium is to maintain the electrical potential across nerve and muscle membranes. It is essential for proper heartbeat and nerve transmission. Magnesium controls many cellular functions and is needed to relax the muscle. The average adult body contains approximately one ounce of magnesium. It is the fifth mineral in abundance within the body. Most people only get 75 percent of the Daily Value (DV) for magnesium, which is 400 milligrams, from food and supplements.

Magnesium should be glycinate or chelated as it is absorbed better than magnesium oxide and the more you absorb, the less likely it is that you will have diarrhea, a common problem with magnesium supplements. Magnesium oxide is basically a rock and it does not break down and absorb easily.

Calcium Citrate 600mg
Calcium is also a mineral effective in decreasing leg cramps. Calcium is the body’s most abundant mineral and is necessary to contract the muscle. The average adult only absorbs about 30 percent of the calcium they consume as many forms of calcium are in the carbonate form which is destroyed by the gastric juices. To maximize absorption, it is necessary to take calcium citrate, not calcium carbonate (commonly found in antacid tablets). Leg-Gesic is calcium citrate.

Calcium and Magnesium work best when taken in certain ratios. Leg-Gesic, is specifically formulated with this “perfect ratio”. The best combination, as recommended by most physicians, is twice as much calcium as magnesium.

Vitamin E 300 IU
Vitamin E has been shown to offer symptom relief for many patients with night time leg cramps and thus is included in Leg-Gesic. Studies suggest that you will improve arterial blood flow and reduce leg cramping at night if you take Vitamin E. In one of the largest studies, 103 of 125 participants who suffered night time leg and foot cramps reported complete relief after taking vitamin E supplements only.

Potassium Citrate 100mg
Potassium helps to regulate muscle contraction. Potassium is the principal cation (positive ion) of the fluid within cells and is important in controlling the activity of the heart, muscles, nervous system and just about every other cell in the body. The recommended Daily Value (DV) for Potassium is 3,500 milligrams.

Bilberry 80mg
An herbal extract that offers a natural way to soothe and relax muscle spasms. Bilberry contains chemicals called anthocyanins, a type of flavonoids that have muscle-relaxant properties. Bilberry also helps to improve circulation in the extremities.

Choose your flavor: Licorice and Vanilla. Mix it with food or beverages to add variety.

Recommended Dosage
As a dietary supplement, take one (1) tablespoon daily, prior to bedtime. You may also mix it with food or beverages. SHAKE WELL.
