Vitamin C's uncertain impact on LBPCollagen Peptides, in Association with Vitamin C, Sodium Hyaluronate, Manganese and Copper, as Part of the Rehabilitation Project in the Treatment of Chronic Low Back Pain.
Most Relevant Research
We examined how Vitamin C, when combined with other supplements, could help manage chronic low back pain (LBP), especially in patients dealing with lumbar osteoarthritis. In our study, we divided sixty participants into two groups: one that received physical therapy alone and another that combined this therapy with a daily intake of Fortigel® and additional nutrients like Vitamin C, sodium hyaluronate, manganese, and copper.
Over the treatment period, we assessed the participants' pain levels, disability, and overall quality of life at three different times: at the start of the study, at the end of the initial treatment, and about a month later.
The results suggested that the group taking the additional supplements experienced significant improvements in pain relief and rehabilitation benefits compared to those who relied solely on exercise. However, since Vitamin C was part of a combination with other nutrients, its individual impact on back pain remains unclear. Thus, while overall results are promising, the specific benefit of Vitamin C in isolation can't be stated with certainty.
