Thank you for your interest in our protocol to improve your restless leg syndrome.
Nutritional Support for Restless Leg Syndrome in the Lower Extremity: Simplified Standard Process Protocol
Focus: Leg Urges, Tingling, and Nocturnal Discomfort
Restless Leg Syndrome disrupts sleep and daily comfort due to neurological and muscular imbalances, often linked to iron status, dopamine pathways, magnesium/calcium shifts, or nerve irritation. While lifestyle changes, stretching, and medical evaluation (e.g., ferritin labs) are essential, whole-food supplements can support nerve health, muscle relaxation, and mineral balance in the legs.
Disclaimer: Educational only—not medical advice. Standard Process products do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent Restless Leg Syndrome. Consult your doctor before starting, especially with kidney issues, medications (e.g., dopamine agonists), or severe symptoms. Monitor symptoms and consider bloodwork (ferritin, electrolytes) if needed.
Key Lifestyle Essentials
- Establish a consistent sleep routine; avoid caffeine/alcohol in the evening
- Stretch calves and hamstrings daily (especially before bed)
- Take warm baths or use leg massagers to calm sensations
- Wear supportive shoes/orthotics during the day to reduce leg fatigue
- Walk or do gentle movement if symptoms start
3-Core Supplement Protocol (Targeted & Simple)

Product |
Suggested Dosage |
Key Rationale for Restless Leg Syndrome in Legs/Feet |
| 1 (Primary – Muscle & Nerve Relaxation) |
Nervagesic (MediHerb) |
2 tablets 2× daily (with meals or before bed) |
Herbal blend (California Poppy, Jamaican Dogwood, Corydalis) promotes relief of mild muscle spasms, nervous tension, and temporary discomfort—widely used by practitioners for nighttime leg restlessness and cramping. |
| 2 (Primary – Magnesium & Mineral Balance) |
E-Z Mg™ |
3 tablets daily (divided with meals; e.g., 2 evening) |
Organic, plant-based magnesium (from Swiss chard & buckwheat) supports muscle relaxation, nerve function, and reduces twitching/crawling sensations—key for many RLS patients with low magnesium. |
| 3 (Add-On – Calcium & Nerve Support) |
Calcium Lactate |
6–9 tablets daily (divided with meals; e.g., 3 morning, 3 evening) |
Highly absorbable calcium helps balance muscle contraction/relaxation and works synergistically with magnesium to calm leg nerves and reduce urges to move. |
Sample Daily Regimen (Easy to Follow)
- Morning (with breakfast): Calcium Lactate (3 tabs) + E-Z Mg (1 tab)
- Evening (with dinner or before bed): Nervagesic (2 tabs) + E-Z Mg (2 tabs) + Calcium Lactate (3–6 tabs)
Duration & Monitoring
- Trial 4–8 weeks for noticeable reduction in leg urges and better sleep
- Track: Frequency/severity of symptoms, sleep quality, and triggers
- Acute episodes: Stretch, walk briefly, or use heat; supplements work best preventively
As a foot specialist in Eureka, Missouri, I frequently see RLS affect calves, ankles, and feet—often worsened by poor biomechanics or circulation. This protocol pairs well with custom orthotics, red light therapy for nerve comfort, or gait analysis. Schedule a visit to personalize and rule out vascular or neurological causes.
