Will Vitamins cure Achilles Tendonitis? The answer is no. Can they help when used in conjuction with other treatments? Of course. Ideally if you have a persistant case you should see a Podiatrist. Below I have written about what might be the best vitamins for Achilles Tendonitis. What you want in Achilles Tendonitis vitamins is vitamins that help decrease inflammation around the tendon as well as help stregthen the tendon. There is no vitamin that does both so the best bet is to use a tandem approach. Here are the vitamins I recommend for Achilles Tendonitis.
Enzymatic Myo Tone– This is one of the few vitamins you will find specifically designed for tendons and ligaments. A lot of the vitamins also promote skin and nail growth, which is unneccesary. This vitamin that comes in enzyme form is specifically developed to help stregthen your tendons. It provides soybean oil, cellulose and wheat germ to help stregthen your tendon. Remember the stronger your tendon the less likely you are to have Achilles Tendon problems. And because this vitamin is transmitted in enzyme form it will have a higher resorbtion then other vitamins.
PodiVite: Nutraceutical Foot Pain and Anti-inflammatory Supplement – This high potency product is an effective plantar faciitis treatment and aids in recovery from tendonitis,sports injuries, and ligament damage.
