Is there a suppliment or a vitamin that strengthens the achilles tendon?!
Question: I've recently gotten onto a diet and exercise plan and as a result, one of my achilles tendons got swollen and painful so I've had to shut it down for a while. My doctor recommended the usual: Ice, Rest, Anti Inflammatories, yada yada and I'm taking his advice. I'm getting the X-ray results today (I'm pretty sure the tendon isn't partially torn. I can stand and walk and stretch and to toe lifts to strengthen them so I'm confident they're not damaged...at least not badly). Anyway, is there a vitamin or suppliment that can help to strengthen so that when I resume exercise, I'll reduce the chances of this problem coming back?

vitamines cant help tendons..actually tendon injury heals slower than fracture blood supply is least there..give maximum rest it may help
