Got Numb Feet or Pins & Needles? This Might Help!

If you’ve got neuropathy—tingling hands, numb feet, or nerve pain that feels like ants under your skin—you’ll know it’s a bloody nuisance. Worse, most GPs reckon there’s not much you can do apart from pain meds. But they might be wrong.

I’ve been digging into the ingredients in a supplement called Nerve Recovery Max, and I’ll give you the short version here: it actually stacks up pretty well. Especially if you’re hoping to slow things down—or maybe even claw a bit of feeling back.

Let’s break it down. Two capsules a day is the dose. The bottle lasts a month. Here’s what you’re getting and why it matters.

The Core Four

✤ Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)
This is the real deal B12, not the cheap rubbish. Methylcobalamin is what your nerves actually use. You’re only getting 2 micrograms here though, which is decent—but if you’re really chasing results, you might want to take extra on top (some folks go 1000–5000 mcg daily when things are bad).

✤ Benfotiamine (150mg)
This one’s a fancy form of B1. It’s been shown to reduce pain and actually help repair nerve damage, especially in diabetic cases. Real studies back this. Solid dose. Big tick.

✤ Alpha Lipoic Acid (400mg)
Bloody brilliant for reducing nerve pain. Helps blood flow and acts as an antioxidant. The Germans have been using this for neuropathy for decades. You want at least 300mg to feel it—so 400mg is bang on the money.

✤ Vitamin D3 (20mcg)
If you’re low on D3 (and if you’re over 60, chances are you are), your nerve pain gets worse. This hits the 100% daily value and should help support nerve health and mood too.

Other Goodies

✤ Vitamin B6 (1.7mg)
Supports nerve function but mustn’t be too high—ironically, too much can cause more damage. This one’s at the safe limit. Tick.

✤ Folate (383mcg DFE)
Helps build the myelin sheath—sort of like insulation around your nerve wiring. Handy if you’re rebuilding.

✤ Acetyl L-Carnitine (50mg)
This one’s a bit undercooked. Most trials use 500 to 2000mg a day for nerve regeneration. So at 50mg, it’s more a polite nod than a full swing.

✤ Ashwagandha, Broccoli, and Turmeric powders (25mg each)
Not nerve repair kings, but these back-up herbs are good for inflammation, stress and antioxidant support. Think of them like the pit crew—not the driver, but still part of the team.

Any Downsides?

Only real downside is dose levels. The ingredients are excellent, but a couple (like B12 and L-Carnitine) could use a boost. That said, it’s a solid base formula, and you can always top up with separate capsules if you’re serious.

Should You Take It?

If you’ve got tingles, stings, or a general deadness in the legs or fingers, this is worth trying. Don’t expect magic overnight—but give it a month or two. It’s especially handy if you’re diabetic, getting older, or just want to keep what nerve function you’ve got left.

Just check with your doc if you’re on a pile of meds, and stay away if you’ve got a B6 sensitivity (rare, but it happens).

Bottom Line

Nerve Recovery Max is one of the better blends I’ve seen on the market. And if it keeps the fire ants out of your feet or helps you feel your toes again—it’s worth a crack.
