Nutrient Supplementation hppt://www.whatcausesburningfeet.com

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 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.

Relatively acute deficiency, associated with alcohol abuse, results in central nervous system damage. (Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome)

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.

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
