The vitamins you need for good knee health are the following:

Vitamin A or Retinol or Retinoic Acid: Taking these vitamins can help those who need them improve the quality of the body’s cells, thereby helping to control muscle and joint pain. You can find vitamin A in leafy greens, vegetables of specific colors (green, orange, or yellow), such as broccoli, carrots, or pumpkin, and fruits such as melon, mangoes, and apricots.

Vitamin D: This vitamin is easy to obtain, as it is found in widely consumed meats, white meats, trout, salmon, tuna, mackerel, and others. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, and is a necessary mineral for healthy bones.

Vitamin K: Specifically, we are referring to vitamin K1, known as phylloquinone. It provides essential minerals to bones and cartilage. We can find phylloquinone in foods such as spinach, cabbage, broccoli, lettuce, blueberries, figs, cheese, and eggs, among others.

Vitamin B complex: This is the name given to the entire vitamin B family, which supports the health of the nervous system, accelerates cell production, and promotes a healthy metabolism. Thiamin or vitamin B1, riboflavin or vitamin B2, niacin or vitamin B3, pantothenic acid or vitamin B5, biotin or vitamin B7, and folic acid are what this complex contains.

It’s best to get this complex at your local pharmacy. The price may vary, but these vitamins will undoubtedly make your knees feel much better.

If, even after trying these vitamins, the pain persists or worsens, it’s best to see a professional for a more complete evaluation.
