Peripheral Neuropathy Supplements: What the Evidence Says
Peripheral neuropathy supplements are capsules and powders sold for nerve trouble in the hands and feet. Public health sources found little proof that they help, and none say a supplement treats the condition. Nervecept has no trial of its own. See a doctor first.
