Neuropathic pain, is caused by damage or dysfunction of the nerves themselves. Damage to a nerve cell can result in a variety of changes and effects on the body, depending on the location and extent of the damage. Some possible effects of nerve cell damage include:
-Loss of function
-Pain
-Numbness or tingling
-Altered reflexes
-Autonomic dysfunction
-Changes in mood and behavior
Various conditions, including diabetic neuropathy, shingles, or nerve compression, can cause the pain. Neuropathic pain is often described as burning, shooting, or electric shock-like, and it may include numbness or tingling. This type of pain can be more difficult to treat than nociceptive pain. Besides, it may require medications such as antidepressants, anticonvulsants, or opioids.
Vitamin K2 goes beyond the bone and cardiovascular healthy by enhancing the production of brain ceramide & cerebroside, which are important 'ingredients' for making myelin. Furthermore, Vitamin K also activates Gas6 protein, which then turns on the TAM family receptors; increasing myelin production & repair after myelin injury. Studies also demonstrate that Vitamin K2-7 clinically proves relief from peripheral neuropathy symptoms in 8 weeks. 100mcg K2-7 consumed twice daily can significantly improve tingling, prickling sensations, burning pain and cramps with these symptoms showing continued reduction even after 4 week of discontinuation.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is the nerve-calming tonic that has shown in studies to reduce nerve cells death as well as reduce oxidative stress and increase nociceptive signaling. With the added on Neurotropic B-Vitamins which are proven to:
– Strengthen nerves & supply the nerves with energy
– Promotes transmission of nerve messages
– Regenerates nerves & protects nerves cells against damage
– Improves peripheral nerve repair by promoting Schwann cells repair & growth
