9 Calcium treatment shows promise Treatment for frozen shoulder combined with calcific tendinitis of the supraspinatus. Chen SK, Chou PH, Lue YJ, Lu YM. Treatment for frozen shoulder combined with calcific tendinitis of the supraspinatus. Kaohsiung J Med Sci. 2008;24:78. doi:10.1016/S1607-551X(08)70101-3 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. 10 Shoulder pain relief Most Useful Review Good vitamins! The pain in my frozen shoulder has vanished, and my limbs no longer feel tight.

We combined this dietary supplement with D3, bromelain, and turmeric with boswellia. Initially, for two months, there were no results. However, once she began taking this supplement, the doctor noted a remarkable improvement after three weeks, as confirmed by a follow-up. While the entire supplement set contributed, this one also played a role, hence the “5 stars”.

8 Vitamin C shows promise against frozen shoulder Vitamin C as a Potential Prophylactic Measure Against Frozen Shoulder in an In Vivo Shoulder Contracture Animal Model. Feusi O, Fleischmann T, Waschkies C, Pape HC, Werner CML, et al. Vitamin C as a Potential Prophylactic Measure Against Frozen Shoulder in an In Vivo Shoulder Contracture Animal Model. Am J Sports Med. 2023;51:2041. doi:10.1177/03635465231172192 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. 9 Effective cold treatment Most Useful Review I appreciated how well this medication works. It's effective at the first sign of a cold. I take one up to three times during the day if I feel a cold coming or I am feeling cold.

Collagen Supplements
NOW Foods, BioCell Collagen®, Hydrolyzed Type II, 120 Veg Capsules	6.6	8.4
3 No additional benefits from HA injections Addition of intra-articular hyaluronate injection to physical therapy program produces no extra benefits in patients with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder: a randomized controlled trial. Hsieh LF, Hsu WC, Lin YJ, Chang HL, Chen CC, et al. Addition of intra-articular hyaluronate injection to physical therapy program produces no extra benefits in patients with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder: a randomized controlled trial. Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2012;93:957. doi:10.1016/j.apmr.2012.01.021 We examined whether adding hyaluronic acid (HA) injections to physical therapy (PT) could improve outcomes for patients with frozen shoulder. In a well-structured study, 70 participants were divided into two groups—with one receiving HA injections alongside PT, while the other focused solely on PT. After assessing their shoulder movement, pain, and quality of life, we found no significant extra benefits from the HA injections. This suggests that continuing with just PT could be a more cost-effective approach for managing this condition. 9 Effective rehabilitation Most Useful Review 3 people found this helpful This has been definitely helpful in the rehabilitation of my shoulder injury.

9 Immediate warmth effect Most Useful Review 12 people found this helpful You'll notice the difference immediately! I used three caps but was mindful with hot water, so I added just three tablespoons. The hot water feels thicker and more luxurious on the skin.

While some traces disappeared and my hair improved slightly, the overall effectiveness was lacking. 9 Effective for hair Most Useful Review 1 people found this helpful I was initially hesitant to use the oil on my hair due to its curly dryness. After finishing my hair product, I tried it and was pleasantly surprised. Just a small amount after washing made my hair glossy, though too much would leave it looking unkempt.
