I bought a copy of Moma Bear on eBay for $10. I did notice some positive change in my feet after applying. The active ingredient is just Magnesium Chloride. This is an inexpensive, low-toxicity chemical. I am thinking of buying this and add 5 to 10% to any common hand lotion to make a large bottle. Another possible magnesium salt is Epsom salts, magnesium sulfate. This is also inexpensive and is sold in every pharmacy. I might try that also. I too noticed that the Moma Bear cream is highly whipped so that there is a lot of air in it and less of the cream so less medicine.
I have ideopathic peripheral neuropathy and stopped all gabapentin, etc. Only made me dizzy. I have serious balance issues and use a rolling walker for safety and support. I have little or no pain. I do have heaviness in both legs, nightime feeling of irritation and blood flow issues. Mama Bear lotion helps me with nightime issues and lets me sleep. The relief last about 4 hours. I also find relief using francinsense and myrrh oils. I wear support hose daily and now have started a course of infrared and laser therapy for this at my chiropractor. I started 3 weeks ago, so they tell me it takes 2-3 months for results. We will see. Also taking supplemental greens and andinflammx daily. Also do yoga/tai chi therapy for movement of the ankles and feet.
@solobeee1 Agree!
I continue to be ripped off by this company. First, I was sent one of 6 bottles ordered on December 13. After making me dig through my trash to take a picture of the envelope it came in to support my assertion I did not receive the full package, I was told they would ship out another January 5th. This package was mysteriously not received. I was then told to check my mailbox. Duh!!
I was assured yet another request had been made to reship the product. Next, I received a message saying the order was delivered December 15th. THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL 1 of 6! Apparently, their customer service people are either incompetent or overloaded by errors such as this. I'm guessing a bit of both.
So now I have one bottle that cost $119.99! It was ordered almost two months ago. This is a sham! Avoid at all costs!! The fact there is no way to contact them by telephone is telling.

@mfinkenberg I tried Mama Bear for the neuropathic pain in my feet. Totally useless. Might as well just be a hand cream. I even tried adding some 5% lidocaine. No good. I requested a refund since it did not work. I was told that I could get a full refund but would have to return the empty bottle, paying for return postage. OR. I could just accept a 50% refund and go through the hassle of having to return the bottle. I took the refund. I guess they still made money. Not sure who gets relief from this kind of stuff.

Forget the products that promise to cure neuropathy. Nothing can cure neuropathy.
You may find help with Aspercreme..
The best thing to do is take the supplement, A-LA, Alpha Lipoic Acid.
I take 600 mg twice a day. ALA is available wherever there are vitamins etc are sold. I get mine on Amazon.
My Neurologist recommended ALA. If I forget to take it, I feel the pain.

@crossette Here is a report on my effort to make a low cost version of this. First I bought an 8.6 ounce jar of magnesium citrate for $7 at Swansonsvitamins.com. Then I bought a pump bottle of Arm and Hammer hand cream at a local discount store for $3. Any basic hand cream will do. I pumped hand cream into a small jar (the empty Mama Bear jar) and added 2 scoops of the magnesium citrate, which is very soluble. Then stir it into the cream with a small spoon. It seems to work as well as the original Mama Bear cream.
I completely agree with the comments re Mama Bear. I found no relief at all. CBD cream helps minimally but it does help. I have started to take ALA and increased doses of B -12. My symptoms are mostly numbness in both legs ( knees down) and slight weakness in my hands. A lot of the so called remedies sound appealing but most are rip offs. I’m doing some research into red light therapy but there’s not much out there.

For me, Mama Bear was a waste of $35 bucks.
