Have any of you been advised or prescribed any vitamins or supplements for your AS? What do or have you taken? Has it helped?

I found a particular supplement that is called Thrive. It’s the only thing that has actually helped me with my issues.. I tried to replicate the ingredients with other cheaper brands with no success. I continue to use Thrive to this day, and I’ll continue for as long as I can. I would recommend it to anyone!

Apparently, one vitamin that supposed to help, is vitamin D. There are many companies selling vitamin D supplements,  but there is some controversy regarding being able to produce an effective supplement for vitamin D. The natural way the body receives vitamin D is sunlight on the surface of the skin. If you are lucky enough to live in an area with plenty of sunshine, make sure you use this ability and don't lock yourself indoors. Get out into the sunshine as much as you can.

Good luck. 

Yes I have heard that too. But we do take the supplement. Also helps your body against getting Covid.
