Acetylleucine

[Rob4056]

Just wondering if anyone is using or is aware of any studies regarding acetylleucine to treat RLS - here’s link to a recent limited study with unexpected beneficial findings for RLS:

Thanks!

When I saw that the link connects to a conference paper rather than a journal publication, I did a little bit of digging and found that acetylleucine is a developmental drug that is currently undergoing early stage clinical trials for neurological conditions such as Tay-Sachs and Vertigo. So it isn't all that surprising that the researchers who published the conference paper may have also stumbled upon a new treatment for RLS. It is far, far too early to know, but just maybe ...

I have a friend who is taking it for a non-RLS condition and saw the mention of RLS benefits. He gets it without a prescription online from France. Was wondering if anyone else with RLS has given it a try. Looks like we'll have to await some real studies targeted to RLS to see whether this is in fact an effective treatment for RLS.
