Hello @chloebusybee3, Welcome to Connect. When I see neuropathy supplements along with words that make them seem like a magical cure I always think of a line from the movie Forrest Gump..."Run Forrest, Run!". There are supplements that are known to provide some relief and help with neuropathy symptoms but I think you really need to do your own research along with having a discussion with your doctor when taking supplements for any condition.

The Foundation for Neuropathy has a lot of helpful information on learning more about the condition and what can help. Here are a few topics:
-- Vitamins and Supplements for Nerve Health: https://www.foundationforpn.org/vitamins-and-supplements-for-nerve-health/
-- Living Well: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/
-- Therapies: https://www.foundationforpn.org/therapies/

Can you share a little more about your diagnosis and any treatments you have tried?
