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.

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.

Reduced sweet cravings
3 people found this helpful
I’ve struggled with cravings for sweets, particularly pies. After starting D3, I noticed a decrease in these cravings over time. My vitamin D levels rose from 16 to 28 after four months of taking D3 and selenium during the autumn-winter period, which has truly worked wonders for me, including reducing leg cramps.

My family and I have been taking zinc picolinate, and since using the complex including D3, I’ve stopped suffering from cold sores and my leg cramps have vanished. We had mild COVID-19 symptoms, and I recommend this supplement, especially during the autumn-winter months.

Pain relief achieved
Good for bone health. I often engage in high-intensity exercise, which sometimes causes mild pain just below my knee. After taking this for nearly two weeks alongside K2, that pain has disappeared. Even in this rainy season, I'm not feeling low or fatigued thanks to D3.

Vitamin D3 is crucial for calcium and phosphorus absorption. After increasing my intake following a deficiency, I noticed improvements in my leg cramps and overall health. I now monitor my levels annually, enjoying more energy and better sleep since I began taking it regularly.

I was advised to take magnesium alongside vitamin D3, which may have a synergistic effect. I find it effective for fatigue and leg cramps.

Leg pain improved
I take a prophylactic dose of 2000 IU to maintain my vitamin D levels. It has been very effective; my test results improved and I trust this brand for a healthy heart, bones, and skin. Vitamin D deficiency often leads to fatigue, leg cramps, and hair loss.

Cramps resolved
I had terrible leg cramps previously, but after some time, they were resolved. The recommended dose is one pill per day, but it's best to check your levels first.
