Q: I always experience symptoms when I get in
bed/shortly after I get in bed. Can I take Restful
Legs right before getting in bed to prevent leg

prevention, rather for symptomatic relief. We don’t
recommend taking Restful Legs for prevention of leg
jerks and restless legs, but these tablets do

prevent you from falling asleep or remaining asleep.

from which batch your bottle was produced and
exactly when the lot was produced. We can track any
product we make using that number.
Q: Is it kosher?

your physician if you feel a different dose is
needed.
Q: How many tablets can I take in one day?
(What is the maximum number of tablets I can take in
a day?)
A: Homeopathic medicines such as Restful Legs
should be taken as directed on the label. With
homeopathic products, taking more tablets does not
necessarily result in more response to the medicine.

can I take 1 or 2 extra tablets?

period of time without worry. However, be aware the
tablets were not designed to be taken indefinitely.
Take Restful Legs as labeled and discontinue use
when symptoms are completely resolved. It is fine to
restart Restful Legs if symptoms recur. If the
symptoms persist for 7 days and worsen, consult your
physician. Chronic leg jerks can be a symptom of a
more serious problem.
Q: What if symptoms never fully resolve? Can
I still continue taking the medicine to relieve my
symptoms as I experience them?
A: If symptoms persist after 7 days, you
should consult your doctor.
Formula
Q: What’s in the tablets that makes them
work?
A: Hyland’s Restful Legs contains 3
botanical-based and 3 mineral-based homeopathic
medicines that trigger the body’s defenses to repair
itself from symptoms of leg jerks, creeping crawling
itch, and the compelling urge to move the legs –
faster than the body is able to on its own:
-
Arsenicum Album 12X HPUS - creepy, crawly itch
-
Lycopodium 6X HPUS - restless legs, while lying
down
-
Pulsatilla 6X HPUS - constant urge to move legs
-
Rhus Toxicondendron 6X HPUS - restless legs,
better with activity
-
Sulphur 6X HPUS - itching, tingling, urge to
move legs
-
Zinc Metallicum 12X HPUS- twitching and jerking
of legs, while sitting
In a base of Lactose (milk sugar), N.F.
Q: Why is there arsenic in the formula?
A: The product contains a medicinal form of
arsenic in a concentration of less than 1 part per
billion that has been used for over 100 years
without history of ill effects or symptoms of
toxicity.
Q: Does Restful Legs contain any aspirin?
A: No.
Q: Does Restful Legs contain any gluten?
A: No.
Dairy and Lactose
Intolerance
Q: I am allergic to dairy products. Is that a
problem with these tablets?
A: People who are truly allergic to dairy
can’t tolerate the proteins found in the dairy
products. We don’t use these proteins, called
casein, in the production of Hyland’s Restful Legs.
We use only the sugar component of cow’s milk,
called lactose. There is rarely a problem among
dairy allergy people using these products. If you
are very concerned, seek the advice of a licensed
health care professional before using this product.
Q: What is lactose?
A: Lactose is the sugar component of cow’s
milk.
Q: What if I’m lactose intolerant? Is that a
problem with these tablets?
A: People who are lactose intolerant have not
yet developed the enzymes to digest lactose.
Hyland’s Restful Legs tablets contain about 194
milligrams of lactose (the sugar from cow’s milk; no
protein is used) per tablet. While everyone is
different, most lactose intolerant individuals need
to ingest 5000 mg of lactose before they experience
symptoms of intolerance. With this large margin of
safety, there is rarely a problem with our products
when used as directed on the label. If your
physician has determined that you are specifically
“Allergic to Lactose”, you should avoid our tablets.
If you are very concerned, seek the advice of a
licensed health care professional before using this
product.
Homeopathic
Medicines
Q: Are Hyland’s products regulated?
A: Yes, the manufacturing and marketing of

drugs by the FDA. The FDA has regulated homeopathic
medicines since 1938.
