Vitamin D Can Help Back Pain

According to Stewart B. Leavitt, MA, PhD, editor of Pain Treatment Topics and author of the report, "our examination of the research, which included 22 clinical investigations of patients with pain, found that those with chronic back pain almost always had inadequate levels of vitamin D. When sufficient vitamin D supplementation was provided, their pain either vanished or was at least helped to a significant extent."

I would recommend 2,000-4,000 units of vitamin D a day. I would also consider the Bone Health product which has high levels of vitamin D , and also other nutrients that could help relax your back muscles and decrease pain from back arthritis.
