If you suffer from nerve pain, supplements are among the natural remedies for neuropathy that you can try at home. This guide will introduce you to essential nutrients for supporting nerve health. You can increase your intake of these nutrients through your diet as well as supplementation.

Top Supplements for Neuropathy Relief

Below we go over the best nutrients for neuropathy. These include alpha lipoic acid, B vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, and more.

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is an antioxidant that is derived from caprylic acid. In high doses (600-1800mg), it may be helpful in curbing some of the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy. It can be taken orally, or injected, the latter of which requires a prescription.

This systematic review found that treating diabetic neuropathy with ALA reduced sensory symptoms. In addition to exerting antioxidant effects, ALA also can help to reduce inflammatory markers.

B Vitamins (B1, B6, B12)

B vitamins can also be good for supporting nerve health, particularly the following:

  • Vitamin B1: This vitamin, also called thiamine, is an antioxidant, combating oxidative stress.
  • Vitamin B6: This vitamin helps to balance nerve metabolism. 
  • Vitamin B12: This vitamin helps to maintain the myelin sheaths that protect the nerves.

Try to get more of these vitamins in your diet, or take a supplement containing them.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine

Aceytl-L-carnitine (ALCAR or ALC) is simply L-carnitine that has been acetylated. As Mayo Clinic explains, it is involved with converting fat into energy, and it can boost nerve cell activity. For these reasons, it is a popular supplement among people with MS, who may be treating both fatigue and nerve pain.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids


There is a lot of research that shows that eating a higher proportion of omega-3 fatty acids is a good way to control inflammation levels (you should also avoid too many omega-6 fatty acids). There is also research showing omega-3 fatty acids can support healthy nerve function and combat neuropathic pain.

Curcumin

Another popular supplement for fighting inflammation is turmeric curcumin. You may recognize turmeric as a spice that is used in Indian cuisine. Curcumin is good for reducing inflammation. It can also help to protect nerve fibers after an injury to a peripheral nerve.

Magnesium

Magnesium can help peripheral nerves to regenerate. It can also help muscles relax, and increase overall relaxation.

Vitamin D

You likely are aware that vitamin D is important for immunity. But not getting enough vitamin D can also increase neuropathic pain. So, make sure you are getting enough of it. Many people are vitamin D deficient and do not know it.

Corydalis Extract

This herbal supplement has pain-fighting properties. One of its active components is a compound called berberine. Researchers have found that this compound can counteract neuropathic pain in particular.

Safety and Side Effects of Neuropathy Supplements

Each of the supplements above are safe and well-tolerated by most users. That said, they need to be taken in appropriate doses to be safe and effective. You also need to make sure you are buying quality supplements from reputable brands. Finally, look up the possible interactions for any new supplement prior to starting it.
