Tampa business owner Dr. Devan Patel maintains license as a pharmacist and leads Zen Nutrients, which manufactures nutraceuticals targeted at specific conditions. In his article “Top 7 Vitamins for Nerve Damage in Hand” (https://zennutrients.com/top-7-vitamins-for-nerve-damage-in-hand/) Dr. Devan Patel describes the benefits of ingredients such as L-arginine, magnesium, benfotiamine, and curcumin.
The latter is a compound extracted from the turmeric, a flowering plant within the ginger family that is traditionally incorporated into Asian cuisines, teas, and herbal remedies. The primary bioactive compound within turmeric, curcumin is a polyphenol with proven anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. A particular area of effectiveness is in reducing tingling sensations and numbness occurring in the extremities and associated with various neuropathies. At the same time, curcumin has a vital role in upregulating the neuronal protein S100 in ways that promote regeneration of the nerves.
The effect that curcumin has in boosting antioxidants has an additional benefit in promoting quick healing of damaged nerves. In addition to having a measurable effect in repairing nerve damage in the hand and foot, it can help relieve various forms of back pain.
