Plantar Fasciitis Supplements and Vitamins
(I Make A Commission For Purchases Made Through The Links Below)
In order to fix your heel pain ASAP, you need to have a solid diet. The supplements below can give you amazing results ONLY if you have a clean diet. A clean diet is free from processed foods and rich in raw vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. Meat consumption should be limited to 4 ounces at each setting and must be organic/ grass fed.
After you fix your diet, you will want supplements that accomplish these goals:
After you fix your diet, you will want supplements that accomplish these goals:
- Give the plantar fascia raw materials to build itself
- Increase bone density of the bone structure around the plantar fascia, for which it depends on as its foundation
- Speed up the healing process with enzymes
Raw materials required for plantar fascia:
Collagen
If you have heel pain but also have brittle weak nails, or excessive hangnails, you should look into supplementing with collagen. The best source of collagen is from drinking bone broth, but you can also buy it online for a cheap price in the form of "gelatin". Gelatin is a superfood that will make your skin, nails, tendons and ligaments stronger.

B-vitamins
I am not a fan of most B vitamin supplements on the market. You need a whole foods source of b-vitamins. A great source is chicken livers, and you should eat 4 ounces, 3 times a week. If you do not like liver, you can take a food-based b-vitamin supplement:

Supplements for increasing bone density (required if you have a heel spur)
The plantar fascia connects to bone. You need strong bones if you want a strong plantar fascia. Below is a list of nutrients required to increase bone strength:
Raw Materials of bone:
Calcium:
Do not take calcium supplements. These are dangerous and their effectiveness is questionable. Instead, find whole foods that contain calcium such as: Kale and other greens, egg shells, sardines and bone broth.
Magnesium:
Magnesium needs to be consumed from foods that contain them. Fresh vegetable juices and some legumes are rich in magnesium. Nuts and seeds are also a great source.
Magnesium supplements are safe if they are ionic solutions. Chelated forms are the next best thing.

Bone Signaling Factors:
In order to use the raw materials above, you need to give your body specific nutrients that tell you how to form bone, and where. If you have a heel spur, it could be from a deficit of these nutrients.
Vitamin A/D:
Vitamin A needs to come from an animal source, such as liver. Vitamin D should come from an animal source or from exposing your skin to sunlight. Luckily we have a food based supplement that supplies both of these nutrients in safe amounts. Cod liver oil is the easiest way to consume both of these nutrients. Also, be sure to buy only the nordic naturals brand. They process the cod liver oil to retain nutrients and avoid rancidity.

Vitamin K2 (MK7 form):
In order to use vitamin A/D, you need K2. This vitamin is the "activator" of vitamin A/D. If you do not have enough K2, the benefits of vitamin A/D simply do not occur. More about this process can be found from the "Weston Price Foundation" who are a great source of information about nutrition.

Supplements to speed up the healing process (enzymes)
Wobenzyme
This stuff is like a magic potion. I used it after a shoulder surgery with amazing results. Check out the reviews on this stuff at amazon (link below), and see what others have experienced with it.
In other countries like Germany, they use this for all sorts of chronic inflammatory ailments. Here in the USA, it seems to never be mentioned by anyone. It has been clinically studied by many doctors and there are quite a few books that show how effectively it works. If you have severe plantar fasciitis, you should notice some kind of improvement. If you don't believe the medical literature or my personal opinion, read the reviews. This stuff should get more attention considering the results people have with it. Be sure to take these on an empty stomach! Do not take with other foods/supplements. And wait at least an hour before you eat again for maximum benefit. Click Here for a Cheap Price on Amazon.com |
Serrapeptase- The Scar Tissue Destroyer!!
This systemic enzyme is specifically for chronic injuries, and works by digesting scar tissue that has infested itself throughout the body. We want scar tissue in the plantar fascia, but we do not want to it develop in structures around the heel. This can lead to nerve entrapment and cross link adhesions that can contribute to dysfunction.
I have read stories of people having TONS of scar tissue after surgeries and post C-section labor operations and having little or no scar tissue afterwards with this supplement alone. Check out some of the reviews on amazon below. Click Here for a Cheap Price on Amazon.com |
Osteo Bi-Flex
This is a herb/nutrient blend that works great for joint pain and also chronic inflammation injuries such as plantar fasciitis. It works great and gives you "results you will notice".
I hate when I spend money on supplements and I do not notice anything different. As you can see by the text on the front of the box it says "joint comfort within 7 days", and they mean it. It works in a lot of different ways, and would take a lot of writing to explain, so check out there main site for more information at: http://www.osteobiflex.com/ Click Here for a Cheap Price |
