Vitamin K2 Found to Reduce Nocturnal Leg Cramps in Older Adults

Nocturnal leg cramps are a common occurrence that can disrupt sleep and cause significant distress to those affected. These painful muscle contractions often strike without warning, leaving individuals grappling with discomfort in the middle of the night. However, a recent study conducted by researchers at the Third People’s Hospital of Chengdu, China, has shed light on a potential solution for managing nocturnal leg cramps in older adults.

The study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, focused on the impact of vitamin K2 supplementation on the frequency, intensity, and duration of nocturnal leg cramps. Approximately 50% to 60% of adults experience these cramps at some point in their lives, with around 20% seeking medical intervention due to the distress and insomnia caused by the condition.

In the randomized clinical trial, 199 individuals aged 65 years and older who experienced frequent nocturnal leg cramps were enrolled. Participants were divided into two groups, with one group receiving a daily dose of vitamin K2 (menaquinone 7) and the other receiving a placebo for eight weeks.

The results of the study revealed a significant reduction in the frequency of nocturnal leg cramps in the vitamin K2 group compared to the placebo group. Participants who received vitamin K2 experienced, on average, 2.67 fewer cramps per week than those in the placebo group. Additionally, the severity and duration of the cramps were also reduced in the vitamin K2 group, with no adverse events reported.

Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that vitamin K2 supplementation can effectively decrease the frequency, intensity, and duration of nocturnal leg cramps in older adults. They recommend further clinical trials to confirm the efficacy of vitamin K2 and explore its impact on the quality of life and sleep in individuals suffering from frequent nocturnal leg cramps.
