About this product
About this formulation
Nerves are among the most energy-demanding cells in the body, and they depend on a steady supply of B vitamins. Ceptonerv is formulated for adults whose doctor recommends nutritional support for nerve health, including many people living with diabetes.
It combines benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1, with 150 mg of alpha lipoic acid and 100 mg of acetyl-L-carnitine, both studied in people with neuropathy. L-arginine, vitamins B2, B6 and B12, folic acid, curcumin, chromium, magnesium and coenzyme Q10 complete the formula.
Nutritional support works best alongside care for the underlying cause. For people with diabetes, good blood sugar control remains the first priority.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Will Ceptonerv cure neuropathy?
No product can promise that. Treating the cause, such as blood sugar or low B12, comes first. Nutritional support may help some people, and your doctor can advise.
I take metformin. Should I think about B12?
Long-term metformin is linked with lower B12. Ask your doctor about periodic testing.
