Nutrient Supplementation
Several key
nutrients must be available for optimal nerve health.
Deficiencies in these vitamins be direct cause,
or can exacerbate, a neurological disorder like
peripheral or optic neuropathy.
Vitamins to make sure you're getting include the
following:
Vitamin B12 supports the myelin sheathing that
protects nerve cells and axial fiber, and has been shown
in studies that it promotes the regeneration and growth
of nerve cells.
Neuropathy has been found to be caused and made
worse by deficiencies of vitamin B12 in the body.
Vitamin B12 is a
water-soluble vitamin. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve
in water. Leftover amounts of the vitamin leave the body
through the urine. That means you need a continuous
supply of the vitamin in your diet.
Thiamine
(Vitamin B1) is essential in energy-yielding
metabolism, especially carbohydrates, and for
nerve conduction. It has
been known for some time that increased levels of
Thiamine (B1) in the blood stream are very
effective in reducing and even reversing neuropathy
symptoms. It
is needed by the body to heal the nerve damage. It
doesn't last long in the body, so several daily doses
may be needed. Deficiency
results in the disease
beriberi—degeneration
of the sensory nerves in the hands and feet, spreading
through the limbs, with fluid retention and heart
failure. Relatively acute deficiency, associated with
alcohol abuse, results in central nervous system damage.
(Wernicke-Korsakoff
syndrome)
Folic
acid or folate.
Folic Acid
is a B vitamin. It is crucial for the health of
the heart; enhances healthy blood and DNA formation; and
increases stamina, endurance and tolerance to stress.
Folic Acid
is water-soluble, which means it cannot be stored in the
body. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water. Leftover
amounts of the vitamin leave the body through the urine.
That means you need a continuous supply of the vitamin
in your diet.
An important ingredient needed by our bodies for proper
B12 metabolization.
Co-Q10
(Coenzyme Q 10) is the enzyme required to make
cell energy (ATP) from blood sugar/glucose and
oxygen. As one of the electron carriers in the electron
transport system, it helps cells utilize oxygen very
efficiently. Since an adequate supply of oxygen is
necessary for tissue repair and immune function,
numerous therapeutic effects of coenzyme Q10 have been
reported; most notably in areas where oxygen deficiency
is a known causal factor. http://www.peripheralneuropathytreatments.com
