We explored the effects of vitamin C on leg cramps in a group of 60 pregnant women through a double-blind trial. Participants received either calcium or vitamin C (1 g twice daily) as treatment. Our observations revealed that there was no significant difference in clinical improvement between the two treatment groups.
Notably, 14 patients experienced complete relief from symptoms, while 27 reported significant improvement regardless of which treatment they received. Unfortunately, 17 participants found their symptoms unchanged, and only two noticed an increase in leg cramps during the treatment period.
Throughout the study, we measured serum levels of total and ionized calcium, total magnesium, and albumin, but these parameters did not show significant changes in either treatment group. We also didn’t identify any biochemical differences when comparing the effectiveness of vitamin C and calcium for alleviating cramps.
Ultimately, our findings suggest that vitamin C may not be an effective solution for leg cramps in pregnant women, as both treatments yielded similar results with minimal biochemical changes.

Reduced leg cramps
The treatment has worked wonders for my veins. After a year of preventive use, my fatigue has vanished, the pain in my legs has lessened, and the vein earmarked for surgery has significantly improved. I've ordered a second container. Highly recommended! 🌿

Relieved leg cramps
I specifically purchased this vitamin C to complement diosmin (Detralex) for my veins. It has been effective; my leg cramps have eased, and the swelling in my legs has disappeared.
