Common knowledge amoung some professionals (MD and ND):

1. Magnesium: Some individuals with fibromyalgia might have lower levels of magnesium, which plays a role in muscle function and relaxation. Magnesium supplements might be considered, but evidence supporting their use specifically for fibromyalgia is limited.

2. Vitamin D: Maintaining adequate vitamin D levels may support overall health and might be relevant for individuals with fibromyalgia. Some studies suggest a potential link between vitamin D deficiency and increased pain in fibromyalgia, but more research is needed.

3. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 supplements containing EPA and DHA have anti-inflammatory properties. Some research suggests that omega-3 supplementation might have potential benefits in reducing inflammation and improving symptoms in fibromyalgia, but evidence is not conclusive.

4. Probiotics: The role of probiotics in managing fibromyalgia symptoms is an area of ongoing research. Some studies suggest that probiotics might influence the gut microbiome, which could potentially impact symptoms such as pain and fatigue, but their specific role in fibromyalgia requires further investigation.
