Supplements for Spine Health

Supplements for Optimal Spine Health

Supplements for spine health may improve your overall health as well. After all, the spine is connected with the rest of the body via a series of intricate nerves and impulses. If you can improve how you feel internally, you’ll most likely improve how your spine feels as well. Let’s explore the potential positive effects of supplements for spine health and which supplements may be best to improve spine health and overall health.

How Do Supplements Potentially Help the Spine?

Supplements may help the spine through reducing inflammation, promoting a healing environment, and fostering a bone, muscle, nerve, and tissue regrowth production pattern over time.

Calcium

Calcium is extremely important for bones, and without it, you may run the risk of having very fragile, vulnerable bones which are susceptible to fractures. You have vertebrae in the spine which may benefit from calcium supplementation, especially as you age.

Vitamin D3 & K2

Vitamin D3 & K2 supplements are great for potentially assisting your body’s immune system and helping to rebuild bone via osteoprotective effects in bone metabolisms. 

Magnesium

Magnesium may help with chronic back pain, as it helps relax muscles and allows ease of tension and stress in the neck, back, and spine. This in turn may help your spine health, as you may be able to move in a more flexible fashion. 

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are some of the best anti-inflammatory supplements you can consume for your body. You’ll want to ensure they’re coming from a high quality, wild caught source to maximize potential benefits. Omega-3 fatty acids may be able to help reduce inflammation in the neck, back, and spine area; which in turn could reduce pain and discomfort. 

Collagen

Collagen holds tissue together and forms vital parts of the bones, cartilage, and ligaments. Collagen is present in our spinal discs. For these reasons, it may be beneficial to supplement with collagen for neck, back, and spine issues.

Glucosamine & Chondroitin

One study did show a statistical and clinically significant reduction in pain scores (chronic low back pain) for those taking glucosamine. You may want to incorporate glucosamine & chondroitin into your supplement stack and see how it works for you.
