This blog post will walk you through: vitamin b joint pain.
Vitamin D
Vitamin B Complex
If you’re troubled by shooting pain in your calf at night, it is likely to be muscle spasms that bring on cramps. Taking a vitamin B complex capsule that contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12 is believed to help. Vitamin B12 specifically is a vitamin for nerves and joints – it protects the nerves, stimulates nerve regeneration, and could help reduce the pain from old injuries.
Foods with Vitamin B12: Fish, Meat, Milk, Eggs, Cheese
Vitamin B6 helps with nerve function and immune health. Rheumatoid arthritis can cause a deficiency of this vitamin which further worsens the condition – and therefore the pain. Supplementing with it may be recommended to ease the symptoms.
Having low vitamin C levels in your diet could make you three times as likely to have inflammatory arthritis. However, do not overdo the intake of these supplements as prolonged use if your levels are already fine might aggravate osteoarthritis. Foods with Vitamin C: Citrus fruits, Strawberries, Potatoes, Broccoli, Capsicum
Pain Relief Gels and Sprays
While vitamins can help your body get stronger and alleviate some of the problems linked to pain, there are times when you need something more immediate.
Pain relief remedies are available in the form of pain relief sprays, gels, and ointments. Try Omnigel as a remedy for your musculoskeletal pains including pain in the joints, neck and shoulder pain, sore muscles, and more.
What Is It?
We don’t fully understand how this type of vitamin may treat arthritis-related conditions, but evidence from trials suggests that vitamins B3, B9 and B12 might be of some benefit for treating osteoarthritis, particularly in improving joint mobility and hand grip.
Vitamin B6 may reduce levels of markers of inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, but there’s no evidence from trials that it improve clinical measures. Except for vitamin B12, which can be stored in your liver for up to four years, your body stores all water-soluble vitamins for only a brief period of several weeks to several months and then gets rid of them through the urine.

Most multivitamins do not have enough B12 to prevent or correct a deficiency.
And many standard multivitamins contain B12 “analogs” that cannot even be used by the body. If you have any of the common gene variants that impair folate/B12 metabolism (MTHFR is the most studied) you could actually end up with functional deficiencies of both of these important B vitamins, while thinking you were protected by a daily multivitamin. Too much folic acid in the presence of not enough B12 seems to increase disease risk across the board– it can mask the anemia and worsen the nerve damage of a B12 deficiency.
It may be best to get B12 from a stand alone supplement, or one containing B6 folate and B12, since they work together to keep homocysteine down.
