Raising dopamine levels naturally to calm restless legs
vitalCALM is an advanced nutritional supplement that deeply nourishes the brain and nervous system helping to raise low dopamine levels and calm resless legs (the neurological condition associated with altered dopamine functioning within the central nervous system rather than a problem with the legs themselves) (1) .
Directions: Start by taking one capsules with your evening meal and increase as necessary until improvement occurs. It may be necessay to build up to 3-4 capsules each day for a few weeks until dopamine levels are fully restored then reduce to a maintenance dose of one capsule a day or less.
vitalCALM is recommended by Health Editors at: Positive Health, The People's Friend, Sainsbury's, Yoga, Psychologies and Natural Health magazines.

Conventional Restless Leg Syndrome Treatment
Generally, RLS is poorly managed and often inappropriate drugs are prescribed such as benzodiazepines, codeine and quinine, to name a few.
First line treatment is considered to be dopamine agonists (drugs that stimulate dopamine receptors) originally developed for Parkinson’s disease* such as pramipexole, ropinirole and rotigotine. However, these drugs can cause augmentation: the drug itself causes symptoms to increase in severity and/or occur earlier in the day. Dopamine agonists may also cause rebound, when symptoms increase as the drug wears off. In many cases, the longer dopamine agonists are used the higher the risk of augmentation and rebound as well as the severity of the symptoms. These problems stem from the over-stimulation of dopamine receptors resulting in desensitization. Side effects include; nausea, light headedness, tiredness, insomnia and increased risk of heart disease.
Recently gabapentin (an epilepsy drug) has received approval for RLS but common side effects in adult patients include dizziness, drowsiness, and swelling of extremities at higher doses in the elderly. Children 3–12 years of age were susceptible to mild-to-moderate mood swings, hostility, concentration problems, and hyperactivity.
Pharmacological treatment clearly leaves much to be desired and people are, quite rightly, wary of taking these potent drugs, none of which were developed specifically for RLS nor do they do anything to correct the underlying problem.

“They really do work! When I stop taking vitalCALM for a few days, my legs kick off again. I take a capsule and after half an hour they stop. It’s quite amazing!” Mr Lewis, Northants
“My husband is doing really well on these. He was diagnosed by the hospital and has tried all the drugs and everything else that’s out there. This is the only product that works for him and he’s got so much energy! We are very pleased with vitalCALM.” Mrs Gregory, Lancs
“These capsules are absolutely amazing, I would recommend them to anyone! I have suffered with restles legs since I was 16, I’ve tried everthing, my doctor couldn’t help, but these vitalCALM capsules are brilliant. I am actually sleeping now!” Mrs Hill, Surrey
I have had restless feet since I was seven years old and vitalCALM has enabled me to sleep well without the horrible feelings I used to suffer with. I could not do without them now! I take 2 capsules with a glass of water half an hour before bed. They work wonders! W Lees, Hanpshire
vitalCALM provides:
1) A high concentration of bioavailable phenylethylamine (PEA), the neuro-amine that we produce in the brain when we feel calm, happy and joyous and when we fall in love. Hence it is coined by scientists as the "love molecule". PEA is a neuro-regenerative molecule proven to improve concentration, mental acuity and mood as well as having a positive effect on the dopamine system in the brain.
2) Powerful anti-oxidant molecules which offer protection for the brain and nervous system from neuronal damage caused by the environment, stress, poor dietary habits and medications. These molecules also enable PEA to reach the brain, protecing it from being metabolised in the gastro-intestinal tract.
3) An exceptionally wide spectrum of carotenoids including; alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene, cryptoxanthin and aphanin - a carotenoid unique to AFA, important for their general anti-oxidant effect.
4) A high concentration of resveratrol, the potent polyphenol found in grapes and other plants, which is able to inhibit the oxidative degradation of lipids by scavenging free radicals (thought to be the reason the French manage to eat lots of cream and cheese yet still maintain low rates of heart disease).
5) 14 vitamins including the full range of B vitamins (including B12) and a broad range of organic minerals vital for the health of the brain and nervous system.
