This Vitamin Reduces Neuropathy Pain by 72%

There are not many reliable treatment options for neuropathy. And that’s why we welcome a new study from the Journal of Pain Research.

It shows that a person can reduce neuropathy pain and other symptoms of neuropathy by up to 72%.

Not only that: you can buy this vitamin in all supermarkets and it’s dirt cheap.

Up to 50% of all neuropathy cases exist in people with diabetes, according to existing research. The fact that diabetics tend to be deficient in Vitamin D has led to numerous studies investigating the link between neuropathy and Vitamin D deficiency.

According to nearly all of these studies, low levels of Vitamin D in the blood are associated with more severe neuropathy.

Some studies have found an improvement in neuropathy symptoms after Vitamin D supplementation, but these studies have either lacked a non-supplementation group for comparison, or they assessed this improvement based on too few symptoms.

Therefore, a team of Indonesian scientists decided to test the effectiveness of Vitamin D supplementation on patients with diabetic neuropathy.

They recruited 68 diabetic neuropathy patients from a hospital in Yogyakarta, Indonesia; they had an average age of 64 years, and just over 60% of them were female.

Since they recruited their subjects from a hospital, they were all receiving medication for neuropathy. The scientists divided them into two groups: one group received 5,000 IU of an oral Vitamin D supplement for eight weeks, while the other group received no treatment beyond what they were already receiving.

Before the eight-week treatment, the researchers collected lots of information from all of their subjects, including age, sex, height, weight, marital status, education, occupation, the duration of diabetes, and other health conditions.

Most importantly, they gave participants two questionnaires (the Neuropathy Deficit Score and the Neuropathy Symptoms Score), which they repeated after the treatment period.

By the end of the study, the Vitamin D supplementation group was definitely better off than the non-supplementation group:

1. They experienced a larger reduction in pain (-3.34 points versus -2.37 points on the pain scale).

2. They experienced less burning pain (1.76 versus 6.18), with higher scores indicating more pain.

3. More of them experienced an improvement in mood (88.2% versus 70.6%).

4. They had a lot more Vitamin D in their blood (40.02 ng/ml versus 18.73 ng/ml).

This is great news, and it’s so simple to implement.

The easiest way is to take 5,000 IU of Vitamin D supplementation daily.

Or, if you live in a sunny locale, you can also walk around for 20 minutes per day with direct sunlight on your bare arms and face between 11 AM and 3 PM, and make up the difference with fortified foods.

But Vitamin D is not enough to completely heal neuropathy. For that, you need to follow the simple, natural steps explained here…
