Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when the muscles and connective tissues supporting the pelvic organs weaken or stretch, often due to aging, childbirth, or hormonal changes. While physical therapy and lifestyle changes are key to managing prolapse, nutrition also plays an important role in supporting tissue strength, reducing inflammation, and aiding recovery.
Certain foods can help nourish the tissues and ligaments involved in pelvic support. A diet rich in collagen-boosting nutrients—such as bone broth, eggs, and vitamin C-rich fruits like citrus and berries—can aid the body’s natural ability to repair and strengthen connective tissues.
Anti-inflammatory foods, including leafy greens, fatty fish like salmon, and spices like turmeric, can reduce chronic inflammation that may hinder healing. Fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, vegetables, and legumes are also important, as they prevent constipation and reduce straining during bowel movements, which can worsen prolapse.
Staying well-hydrated is essential. Water helps maintain tissue elasticity and keeps bowel movements regular, reducing pressure on the pelvic floor.
In addition to diet, certain supplements can support recovery. Collagen peptides and vitamin C help rebuild and strengthen ligaments and fascia. Magnesium supports muscle function and eases constipation, while Bone Support formulas containing calcium, vitamin D, K2, and boron can strengthen pelvic bones and ligaments—especially important for postmenopausal women. Supplements like zinc and copper contribute to tissue repair, and hyaluronic acid supports hydration and elasticity of vaginal and pelvic tissues. Probiotics (like yogurt) can also help by supporting the gut and vaginal microbiome.
While these nutrients won’t “cure” prolapse, they can significantly support your body’s healing efforts—especially when combined with pelvic floor exercises and topical support like NeuEve. This whole-body approach gives your tissues the strength, flexibility, and nourishment they need to heal from the inside out.
