All the supplements I have listed below were recommended by one or several websites. To better understand how we came to the point of such extensive research, here is a little background:
My son has had an achilles problem in both legs for two years now ( Click to see Rehab Update Page) When we started he was hardly able to walk. He endured the orthotripsy procedure, and PRP therapy, but still was unable to run or jump without the pain coming back immediately. Thus, I have researched every supplement I could find to aid in his healing. We are going to try the Super Cissus RX from GNC and Omega-3 for my sons achilles tendinosis rehabilitation. (we later added zinc and vitamin C too) I have an update page on this site to periodically inform everyone of his progress.
---------------------------------------------------------------
None of these supplements have been proven to heal achilles tendon injuries, tendinosis or tendinitis. Some of the supplements were recommended in combination with others, but I could not find any strong consensus of what works best together.
Here are 3 sites that helped us in our research:
