Minimal effects of vitamin D
Interventions for leg cramps in pregnancy.
Directly addresses vitamin D's impact
We assessed the impact of vitamin D on leg cramps experienced during pregnancy, referring to data from various studies. One of the key findings was that vitamin D treatment showed little to no difference when it came to reducing the frequency of leg cramps.
In a trial involving 84 women, participants who received vitamin D did not see significant changes in the frequency of leg cramps after three weeks or six weeks post-treatment. This suggests that, while vitamin D is often discussed in the context of health benefits, its effectiveness for leg cramps specifically might be quite limited.
Overall, the evidence we reviewed highlights the need for caution. The findings suggest that vitamin D may not be a viable treatment option for managing leg cramps during pregnancy, indicating a need for more robust research in this area.

Vitamin D ineffective for cramps
The effect of Vitamin D and calcium plus Vitamin D on leg cramps in pregnant women: A randomized controlled trial.
Includes calcium, complicating effects
We conducted a double-blind, randomized controlled trial to explore whether Vitamin D and calcium-Vitamin D supplements could help reduce leg cramps in pregnant women. Our study involved 126 participants aged 18 to 35, all experiencing a minimum of two leg cramps per week. Over the course of 42 days, participants took either a Vitamin D pill, calcium with Vitamin D, or a placebo.
We closely monitored the frequency, duration, and intensity of leg cramps before the intervention and during the third and sixth weeks of treatment. Despite our efforts and careful analysis, the results were clear: neither the Vitamin D nor the calcium-Vitamin D supplements made a meaningful difference in leg cramps.
This finding indicates that these popular supplements may not be effective for alleviating leg cramps during pregnancy, at least within the timeframe of our study. It's important for expecting mothers to consider this information when seeking relief from leg cramps.

Leg cramps relief
Wonderful results with high spirits and abundant energy. My sleep returned to normal, and those bothersome leg cramps disappeared. It’s also quite economical, and I took it alongside Omega 3.
