For Osgood-Schlatter’s Disease, what supplements can I take for faster recovery?

Doctor's Answers 1

Hi

For OGS there isn't really a supplement to "speed" the recovery and indeed the most important element is correct and careful loading, adequate rest and working with the coaching and management team to achieve this. Sometimes, shockwave therapy CAN help in more serious cases.

Here is more information if you are keen:

What supplements can help increase HDL cholesterol levels?

What is High-density lipoprotein and how does Niacin relate to it? There is a great deal of interest in tinkering with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. HDL is the "good" cholesterol particle that sops up excess cholesterol from the atherosclerotic plaque in arteries and disposes of it in the liver. Persons with higher HDL levels have lower rates of heart disease, and that seems to be true even after low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels are lowered by statins. The current guidelines say most of us should be aiming for a level of 60 mg/dL or more for HDL.
