Nerve Health

Nerve health is an issue that concerns many people, including diabetics. A healthy lifestyle, blood sugar control, and optimum nutrition to maintain and preserve the nervous system could lower the risk of nerve damage by as much as 60%, according to the Diabetes Control and Complication Trial, a major study by the National Institutes of Health.

A collaborative study between the Mayo Clinic and a medical center in Russia found that Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that provides significant nutritional support for normal nerve conduction and healthy nerve function, in addition to normalized sensation from burning and prickling pain. The findings were published in the professional journal, Diabetes Care. "We were surprised by the magnitude of the change and the rapidity of the response to Alpha Lipoic Acid. It is very safe and there have been no known complications," says Dr. Peter Dyke, Mayo Clinic Neurologist and peripheral nerve specialist.

Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated that Benfotiamine provides nutritional support for natural control of the pain of diabetic neuropathy, and with no side effects. Based on these trails, Benfotiamine has been used in Germany for more than a decade. Benfotiamine is a highly-specialized form of Vitamin B1 that is not only a pain killer, but actually supports normal nerve health and function.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a super-charged amino acid that is particularly effective in alleviating pain and gives nutritional support for the body's nerve fiber regeneration process and sensation of touch. Supplementation will compensate for the body's natural decline in production of Acetyl-L-Carnitine that starts around the age of 40 and continues as we grow older.
