Supplements for Neuropathy – Vitamins and More

B Vitamins

Of all vitamin classes, the B vitamins have the most effect on the nerve cell. They play specific roles in maintaining the nerve function in the body. The major vitamins that help to perform this function include folate (vitamin B9), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), biotin (vitamin B7), Cobalamin (vitamin B12), and thiamine (vitamin B1). Due to their undeniable role in protecting nerves and helping in the normal activity of the nervous system, they can play a large role in treating neuropathy. You may want to take them in supplement form or via food. It is important to avoid the extremes of intake, as taking high doses of some of them may lead to nerve damage. Consult your doctor before you proceed to prevent complications.
