Supplements for Plantar fasciitis / heel pain.
When plantar fasciitis / heel pain is the complaint, these are the supplements most often associated with it in the NutriStack library, ranked by how directly each one targets it and by the strength of the evidence.
Ranked by relevance, top first.
Relevance reflects how directly each supplement targets this symptom in the NutriStack map. Evidence is the supplement’s own rating. Open any name for the full profile.
- 01Turmeric/CurcuminLimited78% match
Curcumin may dampen NF-kB driven inflammatory signaling that contributes to fascial pain, though clinical data specific to plantar fasciitis is very limited.
SuggestedCurcumin with piperine or a phytosome (Meriva) formulation, about 500 mg twice daily with food - 02BromelainLimited66% match
Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme that may reduce swelling and inflammatory markers in soft-tissue injury, but direct plantar fasciitis evidence is essentially absent.
SuggestedEnteric-coated bromelain, about 500 mg (roughly 1000 to 2000 GDU/g) taken between meals - 03Collagen PeptidesLimited62% match
Hydrolyzed collagen supplies amino acids that may theoretically support connective tissue, but evidence for repairing the plantar fascia specifically is preliminary.
SuggestedHydrolyzed type I collagen peptides, 10 to 15 g daily, ideally about an hour before loading or rehab exercise - 04Fish OilLimited60% match
Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA may shift eicosanoid production toward less inflammatory mediators, which could modestly ease soft-tissue inflammation, though no trials target plantar fasciitis.
SuggestedTriglyceride-form fish oil providing about 1 to 2 g combined EPA plus DHA daily - 05Vitamin CModerate58% match
Vitamin C is an essential cofactor for collagen synthesis, so adequacy supports the connective tissue repair the plantar fascia depends on.
SuggestedStandard ascorbic acid, about 500 mg daily with food - 06Magnesium GlycinateLimited55% match
Magnesium supports muscle relaxation and may ease tight calf and foot musculature that aggravates heel loading, an indirect rather than disease-modifying effect.
SuggestedMagnesium glycinate, 200 to 300 mg elemental magnesium in the evening
