Best Supplements/Vitamins for Joint Pain & Neuropathic Pain

[AmericanaMama]

First, I want to thank this forum and all that participate. You all are invaluable resources and are definitely helping me in this journey towards health. Thank you.

Last I posted about my struggles. It was mentioned a couple of times that I could be low in a couple of different vitamins or minerals. I'd like some of your suggestions, even brand names, if that's ok...of which ones I should seek out. I reckon my joint pain and nerve pain is the most concerning for me currently. It's not as bad as it was a year ago, heck, six months ago but it's as though I'm a 90 year old instead of 55. It was suggested the various B vitamins could help and possibly magnesium. Any suggestions?

God bless all,

Robin

For magnesium, fish oil, flax seed oil, and a good B complex I use the Nature Made brand available at Costco. They are all gluten-free.

I also use Citrical Maximum Plus, which includes vitamin d, calcium and some other things, which is also available at Costco.

Good luck on your continued journeys!

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

Thank you! Is there an ideal dosage on these?

I just follow the recommendations on the bottles for those that I recommended, As for the magnesium citrate, keep in mind that it could cause IBS symptoms until you get used to it. I can only take one per day with food, and it took me about a month of starting and stopping it to get used to it and eventually I had no IBS symptoms when taking it.
