RLS: Rutin....LINDA

February 20, 1999

(For those who don't know why we are talking about Rutin, it's because of a

letter to the editor of the Saturday Evening Post. If you need more info

on it, let me know.)

...and group,

In answer to your questions, I found Rutin at a healthfood store. Haven't

looked in other places like Walmart or Walgreen's, yet. The stuff is

pretty cheap, when you find it. It's a riboflavin and is supposed to

enhance Vitamin C absorption. So, I'd suggest you look near the Vitamin C

products, and look for other Bioflavins. It should be in that section.

As for an on-line source, try:

Use the search window on the left..typing in " rutin "

As you look down the list, be sure to CAREFULLY compare the MG and the

number of tablets per bottle.

Also, try this one:

The search window is at the bottom of the page.

This company has a policy of " buy one, get one free " or " buy two and get

THREE free " . It can come out pretty well, but you have to do some figuring

to be sure it's worth it.

As for whether it's working? I haven't noticed any difference after a week

of taking it. ALTHOUGH...I've been marking the calendar for a couple

months, now, and I'm becoming more convinced all the time that my worst RLS

attacks are related to my monthly cycle. This is the third month in a row

that I've had and average of 3 panicky restless " can't sleep " nights in a

row, that followed a week after my period started. This was also the week

where I started taking the Rutin, so there's a chance that it just didn't

have a chance. I'll keep taking it for a month, or until the bottle is

empty, before I give up on it.
