Plantar Fasciitis sucks. It causes pain first step in the morning which leads to discomfort. There are many treatments for plantar fasciitis including stretching, night splints, orthotics, cortisone shots, and NSAIDs. Ideally, you should see a Podiatrist for cases that are persistent. Can vitamins help with Plantar Fasciitis? The answer would be some. The chance of vitamins alone curing plantar fasciitis is low. You need to combine it with other treatments such as stretching. What would you look for in a vitamin? Two things. Plantar fasciitis at its heart is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, so you want a vitamin that will reduce inflammation in the plantar fascia. The second thing you look for is plantar fascia is a ligament so you want a vitamin that will help strengthen your ligaments in your body. Below I have listed what I believe are the best vitamins a person can take for plantar fasciitis:
Enymatic Myo Tone– This vitamin helps maintain strong ligaments and cartilage by providing and strengthen the collagen. It also provides the needed nutrients and minerals required to maintain a robust plantar fascia. This is the vitamin I recommend currently for strengthening the plantar fascia and helping to treat plantar fasciitis.
Naturally Vitamins Medyzym– I tend to believe in vitamins in enzyme form. The entire body uses enzymes to function and enzymes play an intregal role in inflammation. This vitamin here is in an enzyme form that will help reduce inflammation. Remember the pain from Plantar Fasciitis orginates from inflammation. This is the vitamin that I recommend.
