If it seems that your vitamins are making nerve pain worse, the solution might be simple. Vitamin B6 is vital in neurotransmission, but must be converted to its active form through the liver. Unconverted vitamin B6 can accumulate in the body and affect the nervous system if your liver is sluggish, if you don’t have enough bile, or if you’re low in glutathione. Inflammation, high blood sugar, and low magnesium can also inhibit your ability to make this conversion.
Most vitamin B12 supplements contain cyanocobalamin, which is useless unless converted into the active form, methylcobalamin.
Vitamin B1 is vital in supporting the mitochondria and the myelin sheath. Low vitamin B1 is a common cause of peripheral neuropathy.
Vitamins B1, B6, and B12 are water-soluble vitamins, so they can’t easily penetrate the brain and myelin sheath. Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 that can penetrate the myelin sheath to help reverse peripheral neuropathy.
Alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant that can help with peripheral neuropathy, support mitochondrial function, and improve insulin sensitivity.
Key takeaways:
1. Use the right forms of vitamin B1, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12
2. Don’t go over 50 mg per day
3. Ensure you have enough bile
4. Consume fermented foods
5. Make sure your insulin is balanced
6. Don’t forget about alpha-lipoic acid
