Noticing that your legs feel heavier than they used to, or dealing with frequent cramps that disrupt your sleep and daily activities, can be incredibly frustrating and worrying. You might brush it off as normal aging, but persistent weakness, discomfort, or tiredness in your legs often stems from nutrient gaps that build quietly over time. The encouraging news? Focusing on specific vitamins and minerals through diet and lifestyle adjustments may help improve leg comfort, strength, and mobility.
 Why Leg Strength and Comfort Matter as You Age
Strong legs are foundational for independence—helping you walk confidently, climb stairs without hesitation, and enjoy activities with family and friends.
When leg muscles weaken or cramps strike often, it can limit mobility, increase fall risk, and affect overall quality of life. Studies show that after age 50, absorption of key nutrients declines, contributing to muscle fatigue, nerve issues, and bone density loss.
