I was wondering if anyone would care to share the supplements (and this includes vitamins and minerals) that they find helpful in managing their fibro.  I want to try these as my first line of defense, before I add another drug to my regimen.  Thanks!!

So many people (me included) use Malic Acid and Magnesium. A lot also have found help with Vit. D.

I think there's a long thread about this - actually, yes, there is - towards the top of the page. Lots of details. Good luck.

I purchase my supplements through a website where I can 40 percent off the price I would pay in a health food store. The website is Imedmart.

I purchase Buried Treasure liquid supplements: VM-100 which is a multi-vitamin and calcium and hair and nails. I purchase capsules also: Now Foods-Vitamin C, Glucosomine Condroitin, and Krill Oil, and Iron, and CoQ10, and a Vitamin D3 supplement. For nighttime sleeping I purchase Now Foods melatonin and L-Theanine.

Good luck to you.

I use malic acid, magnesium, vit D3, Vit b12, and acai berry at the moment.

If I had to chose one that i couldn't live without it would be the malic acid.

I take a multi B vitamin, D 2,000 u, 1200 cal, 500 mag, 1000 mg of vitamin C, glucosamine condroitin combo and flax seed.
If I miss the b or d, I feel very run down.

Try Digestive enzymes
Specifically Digest-Gold really helped me.
I think many of symptoms of fibromyalgia might be due to vitamin/mineral deficiancy, the root cause of
which is malabsorption of nutrients. Hence I went down this path . Hope this helps .

I take magnesium, Vitamin D3 , and just started the powder formula that Dr. Oz recommends for fibromyalgia called D- Ribose. Will keep you all updated on how that is working for me!

I watched the Dr. Oz clip and wondered about the D-ribose--I'd love to hear if it works for you.  Good luck!

D-Ribose powder has helped me with the weak limbs (heavy arms and legs and over all weakness).

When ever I try to stop taking it, I feel that weakness come back.

I add it to my tea.
