@wideawakechas - I'm with Jake on this product. Have seen too many neuropathy magic pills. There are supplements that can help but you have to do you own research and make sure they are high quality. Here are some good links for guidance when trying to make a decision. I don't trust any product with "secret" ingredients.

Here are a few sources of supplements that can help with nerve health:
-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/integrative-therapies/ has a link to a PDF listing many of the supplements for the nervous system here: https://29fvx519grkh3bdqrc16zioc-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Supplements-Not-highlighted.pdf

Also discuss taking any medication and/or supplement by talking to your doctor or pharmacist. The Urologist I have been going to for years, after discussing with him the benefits of taking a supplement to improve my urination, he did recommend a supplement to improve my urination, which has been slowing down a bit - a common plight of elderly men.
