Supplements for Fibromyalgia

2 supplements with research evidence for Fibromyalgia

What the Research Shows

Current research regarding supplements for fibromyalgia shows a lack of clear evidence for the effectiveness of several options. For example, while 5-HTP has been investigated as part of combination drug therapies, there is currently insufficient evidence to establish its effectiveness when used as a standalone treatment for fibromyalgia. Similarly, the evidence for using Chlorella to manage the condition is also insufficient. While systematic reviews have looked into various dietary interventions for fibromyalgia, the research does not currently support the use of Chlorella as a proven treatment. Overall, the strength of the evidence for both of these supplements remains weak.
