Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammatory condition of the foot that comes from inflammation of the thick fibrous band of connective tissue called the plantar fascia. Plantar fasciitis is considered one of the most common foot condtions and has been estimated that the condition is suffered by more than 2 million americans per year and will effect 10 percent of the US population over time.

If you are diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, treatment options are prolonged rest, stretching, night splints, special custom shoes, anti-inflammatory medications and painful injections of steroids and even surgery in bad cases. Recently a new product has come onto the market that shows promising results, 5B-Hydroxy-4h was developed as an alternative to painful steroid injections which are typically given to reduce inflammation of the plantar fascia. 5B-Hydroxy-4h contains several strong pharmaceutical strength anti-inflammatory ingredients.

Plantar fasciitis does not heal in many patients because they are unable to stay off of their feet for the days or weeks of rest that is needed to allow the tissue to recover and this lack of rest causes additional inflammation with every additional step taken. The 5B-Hydroxy-4H formula helps the body to recover faster so that even short periods of rest are beneficial and additional stress and inflammation is limited, allowing the condition to heal. If you work in an environment that stresses the plantar fascia, you can take a smaller maintenance dose of the product to prevent it from reoccurring once the condition is initially gone.
