Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a unique condition of a painful sensation in the legs, which tends to aggravate with rest and sleep. The condition is often referred to as some kind of neurological disorder, characterized by a burning, creeping and tugging sensation of the legs, yearning for movement in order to seek some temporary relief. The abnormal painful feeling of the legs is often termed as paresthesias - that has no specific root to its occurrence as such.
The unique RLS is associated with an irritating and painful sensation, as well as, uncomfortable condition. The condition is inevitably related to persistent fatigue and exhaustion, inability to concentrate accurately and a constant irritation on the mind and body. Quite amazingly, the patients suffer the most while relaxing or in their sleep. The syndrome takes a huge toll on the physical, mental and relationship aspects of the patient. The condition can bar people from attaining their goals, often leading them into depression.
While the symptoms and occurrence of the condition is most common among women, men are also easily prone to experiencing the pain. However, the pain and the symptoms aggravate with aging and, if not treated, may lead to further ailing syndromes. Though middle-aged and older patients fall easy prey to RLS, younger patients are not ruled out of its grasp.
What causes RLS? Several physical deformities and deficiencies pave the way for causing RLS, and approximately 25-75% of the RLS cases reported are due to heredity issues. Certain chronic diseases and health conditions may also lead to RLS.
Previously, some specialists claimed the condition to be caused by a disease in the blood vessels of the legs or by some nervous disorder. However, advanced studies revealed that the condition may be occurring due to some malfunctioning of neurotransmitters that are dedicated to muscle regulation and movement. Some issues in the central nervous system may also lead to the same.
Certain medical and physical abnormalities, such as low iron levels or anemia, often lead to RLS. Hemoglobin deficiency can pave the way for abnormalities in muscle movement and regulation. Certain chronic ailments also add up to cause RLS. Parkinson's disease, kidney failure, diabetes, and peripheral neuropathy are some of the major causes of concern for the occurrence of RLS. Proper treatment of the associated condition prevents the recurrence of the RLS, curing it completely from the core.
For some pregnant women RLS can be really painful and intolerable. The last three months before delivery is often associated with the symptoms concerning RLS that usually disappear within a month of delivery in most cases.
Certain anti-seizure, anti-psychotic, and anti-nausea medications can aggravate RLS to a greater extent. Additionally, caffeine, tobacco, and alcohol are considered to be the greatest boosters of RLS. The condition is often associated with heavy drinking and chain smoking.

Leg Cramps can be Helped...
Leg-gesic
Specifically formulated to relieve leg and muscle cramping.
Taste and see the potency of this mineral supplement
One tablespoon at night may be all you need
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.
