The 3 Vitamin Deficiencies in Sciatica and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Today I’m going to share three common nutritional deficiencies related to sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome and ways to tell which one might be affecting you most.

Vitamins B1, B6, and B12 are intimately involved in the nervous system and may be behind these painful conditions.

1. Vitamin B6 benefits

• Helps build the myelin sheath

• Helps produce neurotransmitters

• Is involved in the metabolism of the nervous system

Vitamin B6 deficiency causes:

• Age

• Certain medications

• Alcohol

• Birth control pills

• Certain genetic variations

• Excess coffee consumption

* It’s important to take the active form of vitamin B6, pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P).

2. Vitamin B12 benefits:
