Vitamin B complex aids salivary glandsCORRECTION OF PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN SALIVARY GLANDS OF ANIMALS WITH PACLITAXEL-INDUCED NEUROPATHY.
We aimed to investigate how paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy affects salivary glands in rats and whether using a vitamin B/ATP complex could help. After inducing neuropathy with paclitaxel, we treated the animals with vitamin B for nine days.
We found that while the neuropathy did lead to significant changes in the salivary glands, treatment with the vitamin combination effectively restored their function. Notably, this treatment helped reduce oxidative stress and balance protein synthesis in the glands.

Combination vitamins improve nerve healthThe Combination of Neurotropic Vitamins B1, B6, and B12 Enhances Neural Cell Maturation and Connectivity Superior to Single B Vitamins.
We examined how a combination of vitamins B1, B6, and B12 may improve recovery in peripheral neuropathy. Our research showed that using all three vitamins together led to better healing and nerve connectivity than vitamin B12 on its own.
This combination encourages cell maturation and counters oxidative stress, which are key for recovering damaged nerves. The findings point to the potential benefits of taking all three vitamins for those suffering from nerve-related issues.

Vitamin B12 deficiency case studyA long-standing undiagnosed case of vitamin B12 deficiency: a case report.
This case presents an Iranian woman, 40, who struggled for a decade with unexplained symptoms such as fatigue and cognitive issues. Initially misdiagnosed with various conditions, her critical vitamin B12 deficiency was finally revealed after persistent symptoms led to further testing.
Treatment with vitamin B12 injections significantly improved her neurological symptoms, illustrating the critical role of recognizing vitamin B12 deficiency—even when traditional blood tests do not show anemia. This case reminds us to consider deficiency diagnoses in complex symptom profiles.

Combination treatment improves neuropathy symptomsEfficacy and Safety of the Combination of Palmitoylethanolamide, Superoxide Dismutase, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamins B12, B1, B6, E, Mg, Zn and Nicotinamide for 6 Months in People with Diabetic Neuropathy.
Didangelos T, Karlafti E, Kotzakioulafi E, Giannoulaki P, Kontoninas Z, et al. Efficacy and Safety of the Combination of Palmitoylethanolamide, Superoxide Dismutase, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamins B12, B1, B6, E, Mg, Zn and Nicotinamide for 6 Months in People with Diabetic Neuropathy. Nutrients. 2024;16. doi:10.3390/nu16183045 We investigated how a combination of vitamins, minerals, and other compounds affects pain and overall nerve function in people with diabetic neuropathy. The study included 73 individuals with type 2 diabetes, who were randomly assigned to receive either the treatment or a placebo for six months.
Results showed a significant improvement in pain levels, vibration perception, and vitamin B12 levels for those taking the supplement. Overall, our findings suggest that combining these elements can beneficially impact the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy.

Thiamine shows promise for CMTPharmacological Doses of Thiamine Benefit Patients with the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy by Changing Thiamine Diphosphate Levels and Affecting Regulation of Thiamine-Dependent Enzymes.
We explored the effects of daily oral thiamine (vitamin B1) treatment on patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) neuropathy, a condition without an effective cure. Our pilot study focused on measuring hand grip strength before and after administering 100 mg of thiamine.
Interestingly, we observed that thiamine did improve hand grip strength; however, there were no significant differences in thiamine-related enzyme levels between CMT patients and healthy controls. We noted that while thiamine seemed beneficial, its exact impact can vary based on individual thiamine metabolism in patients.
