The most common RLS remedies and antagonists
A short while ago I created a "RLS Remedies" page on my website. For days I scoured the Internet looking for forum postings, articles and studies that presented natural remedies that have helped various RLS Sufferers to lessen their symptoms. No name-brand remedies or pharmaceuticals were included.

Here are the most popular remedies and antagonists:

Vitamin B11 (Folic Acid)
Vitamin B12

Iron
Potassium

RLS ANTAGONISTS

I wondered if any of these supplements that people kept mentioning had any anti-inflammatory qualities to them? I also wondered what sort of relationship these antagonists have with inflammation, if any?
So, I set out to find out. What I found was truly amazing!
