Restless legs can be vitamin and mineral related especially low iron and anemia,
Plus we have to watch out for that when we're having heavy bleeds too.

I have read that somewhere about irons levels, I take a good vit supplement eat plenty fruit and veg but I was going to start taking iron supplements in case. Last time I had levels checked they were ok but too me ok could have been just at bottom of range and some of us need bit more, x

Hi MillyKin.

remember to watch with iron.

A lot of vitamin supplements have either low daily amounts or none.
If your vits do have iron check how much first, then check if you need to get an iron only supplement.

Too much iron can be really bad for us too so just do the checks first.

Also when it comes to iron absorbtion like a lot of other vitamins, its good to eat with Vitamin C.

Like calcium needs vit D, iron needs vit C to absorb more fully.

Hope that helps

Thanks I will check supplements first. I should know better as my daughter was anemic for years all down to coeliac which took all nutrients from her and what it done to her other organs, but as usual we don't always check for our selfs always looking after kids! X
