The term 'osteochondrosis' means degenerative damage to the cartilage of the intervertebral disc and reactive changes from the adjacent bodies of the spine. When treating people suffering from cartilage diseases, vitamins cannot be dispensed with. The following groups are considered mandatory:

1. Antioxidants (vitamins A, E, C). Thanks to them, the violation of the integrity of the intervertebral discs is reduced, and cartilage tissue is also restored.
2. Vitamins of group B. They help to reduce pain and neurological symptoms.
3. Macronutrients (Ca, Mg, P). Mineral substances also contribute to a speedy recovery in case of exacerbation of osteochondrosis.

When making an accurate diagnosis, the doctor will advise the patient on complex remedies in which the listed groups will be presented in the best possible way. This review will consider the best vitamin complexes for osteochondrosis from imported and Russian manufacturers.
