Nerve & Neuropathy

This section covers nerve health, tingling and neuropathy. You will find supplement reviews, best-of guides and explainers on common causes.

We compare doses of ingredients such as alpha lipoic acid, benfotiamine and vitamin B12 with human research, flag high B6 doses that can cause nerve problems, and check refund terms.

Neuropathy is often linked to diabetes or other conditions, so see your doctor. Alpha lipoic acid can lower blood sugar, so ask before use if you take diabetes medication.

When does numbness or tingling need a doctor's attention?

See a doctor if numbness, tingling, or burning in the hands or feet is new, getting worse, or affects balance. Common causes include diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency, alcohol use, and some medicines. Finding the cause matters because many can be treated. Sudden numbness on one side of the body is an emergency, so call 911.
