How it works
Iron is essential for dopamine synthesis in the brain. RLS is strongly associated with iron deficiency — even when serum iron appears normal, brain iron may be low. Correcting ferritin levels reliably improves RLS symptoms.
Requires blood test to confirm iron status before supplementing. Iron supplementation without confirmed deficiency can cause harm. Take with vitamin C to improve absorption.
Multiple studies confirm strong association between low ferritin and RLS severity. Iron supplementation significantly reduces RLS symptoms in those with low ferritin.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
