Listed when one of a peptide's three researched benefits relates to nerves & pain. Strongest evidence first. Inclusion is not a recommendation, and some listed effects are unproven or failed in trials.

Approved (specific use)

Approved by the FDA (or a major regulator) for at least one specific use. Approval covers that use only, not the other benefits listed.

  1. Vitamin B12

    Treats B12 deficiency, Protects nerves in deficiency, Clearer thinking when deficient

    02 Protects nerves in deficiency

    • Prevents/reverses neurological damage of deficiency (numbness, tingling, balance problems, memory loss), which can become permanent if untreated1213
