Unlike our top pick, our second pick, RLSdx by Vita Sciences is not a dual-action formula. It does provide nutrients to combat deficiencies that could be causing restless legs syndrome, however, it does not promote calmness and relaxation to promote better sleep. For the first three months, the recommended dosage is 2 pills twice a day, adding up to 4 pills daily. Yet, even with 4 pills a day, the amount of Magnesium provided is still less than that of our top pick, which is disappointing because Magnesium is often considered as the main ingredient necessary for treating restless legs. Nevertheless, this product does have a lot to offer as we’ll discuss below, but if you are unsatisfied, then you can utilize the 60-day money-back guarantee.
Is Vita Sciences RLSdx Effective?
We often look at customer testimonials to get an idea of how effective a product is and how satisfied customers are. Unfortunately, there were few testimonials available and we do not feel like they can be relied on as they only provide a small sample.
In addition to testimonials, we mainly judge a supplement based on its ingredients. RLSdx contains Vitamins B1, B6, and B12. This is a great start! Restless legs can be an early indication of B12 deficiency and B vitamins contribute to blood health which may impact RLS. Each serving provides 80 mg of Magnesium which is quite low, even if you take 2 servings a day.
The remaining ingredients in RLSdx are grouped together in a 643 mg proprietary blend. The issue with proprietary blends is that they do not require the supplement company to share the amounts of each ingredient in the blend. Therefore, there is no way of knowing how much R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, Acetyl L-Carnitine HCL, Pine Bark, Ginger, or BioPerine® is the formula. Several of these ingredients benefit nerve health which can reduce RLS but only if they're provided in the right dosages.
Bottom Line: We could find sufficient testimonials to attest to this product’s efficacy but it does have some ingredients that are beneficial for relieving RLS, however, due to the lack of transparency as a result of the proprietary blend, we were unable to judge the efficacy of each ingredient.
Is Vita Sciences RLSdx Safe?
This product is generally considered a safe supplement. However, it is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women, or anyone under 18 years of age. Additionally, it may affect blood sugar levels and should not be taken by anyone with blood sugar issues without speaking to a doctor about how to safely proceed. In fact, no matter your health condition, it is always recommended that you speak to your doctor before adding any supplements into your diet.
Summary
Despite the lack of transparency that resulted from the choice to use a proprietary blend, RLSdx is actually one of the more transparent restless legs supplements available, which is to say, the label is actually available online and accessible on the Vita Sciences site. It has a good list of ingredients for what it aims to achieve, but we would have liked to see natural herbs to help the body relax, as relaxation with restless legs is often very difficult. We were glad to see B vitamins, especially B12 in this formula, as well as Magnesium and BioPerine®. The 100% money-back guarantee also impressed us, even if it is only for a period of 60-days, because many supplement manufacturers don’t back their products at all and a guarantee displays confidence in the product’s ability to satisfy customers. One final thing that should be noted is if you take 2 servings a day for the first three months as recommended, a bottle only contains enough pills for half a month. This means that while a single bottle of RLSdx appears cheaper than our top product, you will actually be spending more for the first three months and there is no convenient money-saving option for buying several bottles at once as you could with our top product.
