[QUOTE="Omnipod, post: 713351, member: 89494"] Niacin, also called vitamin B-3, is a vitamin your body needs for a variety of functions, especially the metabolism of energy from food. Niacin also helps your digestive tract, nerves and skin work correctly. Niacin is water-soluble, so your body cannot store it and you need to make sure you get enough every day. According to the Linus Pauling Institute, a niacin deficiency is called pellagra, and it can result in nerve damage that causes neurological symptoms. Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC), a naturally occurring amino acid, may be an ideal therapeutic agent to address this otherwise recalcitrant condition. ALC is potentially effective at preventing peripheral neuropathy as well as lessening neuropathic symptoms once they have developed. Both animal and human data consistently demonstrate the neuroprotective and antinociceptive effects of ALC. In addition, ALC is well tolerated without significant risk of side effects or drug-nutrient interactions. Extracted from the evening primrose plant, this oil is rich in omega-6 fatty acids, which are important structural components of cell walls. Theoretically, supplementing the diet with [URL='http://www.webmd.com/drugs/drug-1092-Evening+Primrose+Oil+Oral.aspx?drugid=1092&drugname=Evening+Primrose+Oil+Oral'][U]evening primrose oil[/U][/URL], which is available in pills, may boost the repair or regrowth of damaged nerves cells. In two clinical trials, taking evening primrose oil orally improved nerve function somewhat in people with diabetic neuropathy. . In several studies, alpha-lipoic acid appears to help lower blood sugar levels. Its ability to kill free radicals may help people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, who have pain, burning, itching, tingling, and numbness in arms and legs from nerve damage. Alpha-lipoic acid has been used for years to treat peripheral neuropathy in Germany. [/QUOTE]
