Is
your fibromyalgia becoming more unmanageable? Then it's likely that
you're looking for the ideal solutions to your condition. Here are
some of the common supplements promoted for fibromyalgia. Don't
forget to consult a qualified medical professional for specific
recommendations and dosages.
Magnesium
The
body needs magnesium to perform over 300 biochemical reactions.
Magnesium is often recommended for people with fibromyalgia because
it is necessary for the generation of energy in cells. However,
magnesium in high doses may cause nausea, diarrhea, muscle weakness,
and loss of appetite, among other things.
Vitamin
D
Some
researchers have attributed fibromyalgia to vitamin D deficiency. One
particular research involving 994 patients found a strong correlation
between decreased vitamin D levels and higher levels of generalized
bone and/or muscle pains.
S-adenosylmethionine
(SAMe)
A
couple of preliminary studies showed promise that SAMe can help with
fibromyalgia. One of these studies evaluated the effect of SAMe or
placebo in 17 fibromyalgia patients. Improvements were observed in
the patients who took SAMe, but not in the ones who took the placebo.
5-hydroxytryptophan
(5-HTP)
There
is preliminary evidence that 5-HTP may reduce the number of tender
points (specific areas in the body that are painful when pressure is
applied) in people with fybromialgia. Researchers believe that this
is because of the supplement's ability to effect pain-modulating
systems in the brainstem. Such supplements are often offered by
private label manufacturers.
