Nutrition to expedite mobility gains?

Hi all - wondering if there are specific types of food or dietary supplements that one should take to increase/accelerate gains in mobility?  Personally, I am doing the stretch series and follow Tim Ferriss's Slow Carb Diet.  That diet has historically been great for me for muscular growth and weight loss, and the stretch series has been going well so far.  So I'm wondering, just as the over-generalized belief is that more protein equals more muscle, is there an equivalent on the mobility/flexibility side?

Hey Matt,

First of all, don't be impatient. Mobility gains are best made through patience and consistency. Keep working on your Stretch series and incorporate weighted mobility. 

Also some people reccomend magnesium to improve flexibility :) 

Please keep us posted on your mobility gains!
