Nerve Health Tissue Support Nutrients
- Acetyl-L-Carnitine is an amino acid that has specific benefits for nerve cells (neurons) and plays a key role in the production of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter involved in brain and nerve cell function. An antioxidant that creates healthy nerve cells and supports energy levels.
- Alpha-Lipoic-Acid offers nutritional nerve support and assistance with circulation.
- B Complex Vitamins provide nerves with energy to function, while supporting smooth nerve transmission of nerve impulses, Maintains nerve health.
- Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is the active ingredient curcumin offers an antioxidant benefit and circulation support for the nervous system.

- N-Acetyl-Cysteine is a well‐known antioxidant that combats free radicals from oxidative stress on a cellular level, with a potential for neuro‐supportive applications. It has shown significantly to support healthy nerve cell replication, for healthy nerve transmission.

When one of your nerves is damaged, it will try to repair itself. The nerve fibres shrink back and 'rest' for about a month but then they begin to grow again. The extent to which your nerve will recover is variable, and it will always be incomplete. On average, nerves potentially regenerate at a rate of approximately 1 inch per month. Your nerves have an ability to regenerate even once they have been damaged, assuming that they have been properly repaired and this is where the right nutrition and supplementation can help.
