QUESTION: Which vitamin b is best for nerve repair?

ANS:

  • Among the various B vitamins, vitamin B12 is considered crucial for nerve repair and maintenance.
  • Vitamin B12 is involved in the production of myelin, a protective covering around nerves, and it is essential for the maintenance and repair of nerves. This sheath helps insulate and protect nerve fibers, allowing for efficient nerve signal transmission.
  • Deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to nerve damage, which may manifest as tingling sensations, numbness, or weakness in the extremities.
