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.

Helps leg cramps
Excellent magnesium has significantly helped me with leg cramps. It also promotes good and continuous sleep. This particular type of Solgar is of very high quality.

Boosts immunity
The quality is exceptional! My entire family takes it, and our health has improved significantly. We begin taking it at the first sign of a cold or SARS, strengthening our immunity noticeably. The acidity does not rise, and it can even be taken on an empty stomach. Despite the large tablet size, it is easy to swallow. We opted for the 1000 mg option for its higher flavonoid and rutin content, vital for leg vein health. We love the Solgar brand for its quality and effectiveness! I highly recommend it!

Strengthens vascular walls
A good vitamin that I consume regularly for my immune system and to strengthen the vascular wall, as I tend to bruise easily on my legs. It helps and does not negatively affect my stomach, even with gastritis.

Eases leg pain
I take Vitamin C during autumn and winter, and it aids tremendously when I feel unwell. I find that ARVI is much easier to manage now. This high-quality form of Vitamin C absorbs well and is gentle on my stomach. Additionally, I have grade 2 varicose veins, and Vitamin C alleviates the pain in my legs. I highly recommend it.
