Restless legs syndrome (RLS) affects 5-10% of adults and is driven by dopaminergic pathway dysfunction, iron deficiency in substantia nigra, magnesium depletion, and circadian rhythm disruption. Explore how sea moss iron content (and vitamin C enhancing non-heme iron absorption) supports ferritin repletion -- low ferritin below 50 ng/mL is an independent RLS risk factor -- how magnesium's NMDA receptor antagonism reduces the neuronal hyperexcitability driving limb restlessness, how B vitamins support dopamine synthesis pathways, and how its prebiotic effects support tryptophan-serotonin-melatonin cascades relevant to sleep-associated RLS. Critical: ferritin below 50 requires iron supplementation under physician guidance; RLS with severe sleep impairment needs neurologist evaluation and dopamine agonist consideration.
