Athletic Greens has been great for me
Has anyone implemented a supplement routine that they feel has helped battle inflammation? I have had a back issue that I cannot shake. I’m doing lots of work to get past it, but the littlest things seem to set my lower back (QL) on fire. I’ve read lots of good stuff on fish oil, and one of the chiros I have seen suggested magnesium.
Doesn’t have to be back pain related, but I am interested to hear if anyone else has found something that they feel has a real impact.
There are lot of issues that can contribute to back pain. Have you been evaluated by a Doc or PT? Just taking something for inflammation may not be the smart decision.
Okay, as others have mentioned, diet can contribute to inflammation, but that tends to be more of a whole-body inflammation and not a localized problem. Still, it's probably worth looking into. Diets are a whole other topic.Yes, of course. Didn’t mean to make it sound like I expected supplements to fix it. Was looking at it more as something I could do long term to help a bit. PT has actually fixed me up 90% since my original post. Looking at supplements as more long term maintenance on top of exercise etc.

Stretching and yoga are super gay but it’s amazing how much they help, especially as I progress through middle age.Stretching and yoga, as gay is it is, is the way. Core strength training really helps lower back. Plyometric exercises twice a week helps my bad joints, paired with lots of stretching.
Plant based protein powder, almond milk, fish oil, and turmeric as a daily or twice daily protein shake seems to really help my joints as well.
The garden of life brand protein powder digests really well for me compared to traditional and whey heavy proteins. My joints don’t get anywhere near as inflamed with this protein either.
