Athletes are constantly pushing their bodies—and whether you’re training for a race, recovering from a sports injury, or managing chronic soreness, the right supplements can make a big difference.

Here at Rochester Sports Chiropractic, we treat athletes across Mendon, Pittsford, Victor, and Honeoye Falls. These are the top 5 supplements we most often recommend to support joint health, tissue repair, and faster recovery.

🔝 Top 5 Supplements for Athletes

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Reduces inflammation, supports heart health, and may decrease joint pain post-exercise.

2. Collagen + Vitamin C
Helps rebuild connective tissue and supports joint and tendon recovery—great for athletes with high-impact stress.

3. Magnesium
Essential for muscle recovery, cramp prevention, and sleep quality.

4. Protein (Whey or Plant-Based)
A must for muscle repair, especially after strength training or endurance events.

5. Turmeric (Curcumin)
A natural anti-inflammatory that can support recovery from injury or soreness.
