1. Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)
ALA is a potent antioxidant known to improve blood circulation and help repair damaged nerves. A typical dosage ranges from 300 to 600 mg daily. Foods like red meat (especially liver), spinach, tomatoes, and Brussels sprouts are naturally rich in ALA.
2. Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC)
ALC plays a role in regenerating nerve fibers and reducing nerve pain, especially in people with diabetes. It boosts cellular energy in nerves, with recommended doses between 500 and 2000 mg per day. Dietary sources include beef, pork, whole milk, and cod.
3. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)
Thiamine supports nerve health, particularly in those with high blood sugar. The fat-soluble form, benfotiamine, is more effective at reaching nerve tissue and is usually taken in doses of 150–600 mg. Pork, salmon, sunflower seeds, and peas are excellent sources.
4. Fish Oil (Omega-3 Fatty Acids)
Omega-3s like DHA and EPA help preserve nerve cell membranes and reduce inflammation. Studies suggest 1800–2300 mg daily for nerve support. Salmon, sardines, tuna, and shellfish are rich sources of these fatty acids.
5. Nutritional Yeast
