Calcium Magnesium
9
We explored the effects of calcium deposition in the rotator cuff tendons on frozen shoulder, particularly in cases where calcific tendinitis was present. The study involved 32 patients who underwent a specialized procedure combining arthroscopic brisement of the shoulder joint with multiple punctures at the calcific site. This innovative approach aimed to alleviate the pain and restore mobility linked to frozen shoulder.
After following up with the patients for two years, we observed that 30 out of 32 patients reported satisfactory outcomes. While five individuals still showed some postoperative calcium deposits, many experienced significant improvements in their range of motion and relief from pain. This suggests that combining treatment methods can enhance recovery, although we recognize that the isolated effect of calcium treatment alone remains unclear.
Overall, this study contributes valuable insight into managing frozen shoulder, especially when associated with calcific tendinitis, even if it doesn't fully isolate the impact of calcium treatment.

In our controlled laboratory study, we aimed to investigate whether vitamin C could help prevent frozen shoulder, particularly the secondary type that often occurs after trauma or surgery. We created a shoulder contracture model using Sprague-Dawley rats, which involved immobilizing their right shoulder.
Our experimental group, consisting of eight rats, received vitamin C orally, while a control group of nine rats did not receive vitamin C. We primarily measured the thickness of the joint capsule at the shoulder using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The results were promising, indicating that vitamin C may reduce the thickening of the joint capsule linked to secondary frozen shoulder. Although we also conducted histological examinations, we did not perform statistical analysis on those findings due to variability in our cutting techniques.
This preclinical study suggests that vitamin C could be a valuable, non-invasive way to prevent secondary frozen shoulder, particularly in situations involving surgery or immobilization. However, more research is needed to determine its effects on humans and establish proper dosage guidelines.

I experienced constant lethargy and pain in my shoulder, linked to vitamin D deficiency. After using this product, I felt significant improvement. My shoulder pain subsided, and I highly recommend it, but don't forget to consult your doctor.

We examined the effectiveness of sodium hyaluronate (SH), corticosteroids (CS), and autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as treatments for primary frozen shoulder.
In our study, 117 patients received a single ultrasound-guided injection of one of these therapies. We measured pain levels and shoulder function at various stages post-treatment.
While all three options helped reduce pain and improve movement, corticosteroids showed the best results in the short term, while PRP provided more lasting benefits over time. Hyaluronic acid was effective but not the frontrunner.

The effect is somewhat subtle! I ordered two bottles for myself and my husband. After two months, I felt no changes (I'm 30), so I gave my second bottle to him. At 43, he reported significant relief from a long-standing shoulder injury which used to trouble him post-exercise. He's had tingling and numbness after tendon surgery, but now there is no discomfort after two months of using the collagen. He also notes that his nails grow faster!

I suffered from severe chronic fatigue syndrome. Upon consulting a nutritionist, I learned I needed magnesium quickly, so I purchased this high-absorption type.

I was suffering from constant muscle stiffness and had tried various massages and exercises. Eventually, sleep became tormenting rather than comforting. At the pharmacy, the pharmacist suggested I might have a magnesium deficiency. After taking magnesium pills, I soon felt relief in my shoulders and neck. It was quite affordable and effective, so I hope this review helps you.

I was diagnosed with anemia before a blood transfusion and began taking this supplement. I had been experiencing anaemia during pregnancy, and while I was on medication, the iron preparations caused constipation and stomach pain. Consulting a doctor led me to try supplements. By the third month, my anaemia symptoms improved. The cause in my case was uterine fibroids, so I plan to continue this supplement until menopause. My terribly stiff shoulders have improved, and I'm very grateful for this supplement. I only took one tablet daily, making it quite cost-effective.

Totally brilliant products. I discovered Shinsegae at the age of five. I often experience shoulder stiffness, frozen shoulder, and headaches, so I apply peppermint oil to my neck and shoulders, massaging it in. The oil left on my hands can then be massaged into my temples. If applied too close to the eyes, it may sting. After a few minutes, I feel refreshed, with my headache subsiding and muscle aches alleviated. With sensitive skin, I felt a cool sensation without irritation.
