Vitamin B12
for Neuralgia
Vitamin B12 is essential for myelin maintenance and nerve repair — deficiency causes peripheral neuropathy, and supplementation may support nerve healing in deficiency states.
How it works
Methylcobalamin (B12) is required for myelin synthesis and axonal regeneration. B12 deficiency causes progressive demyelination and axonal degeneration underlying peripheral neuropathic pain.
What to watch for
Most beneficial in confirmed or suspected deficiency (common in vegans, elderly, and metformin users). Methylcobalamin or hydroxocobalamin forms are preferred. Serum B12 may appear normal despite functional deficiency — methylmalonic acid is a more sensitive marker.
