Vitamin B12
Although vitamin groups are more or less involved in biosynthesis, metabolism of important substances in cell formation. But only the vitamin B12 group is involved in repairing, regenerating peripheral neuropathy. An important effect of B12 deficiency on the nervous system is the loss of myelin of the major neural fibers of the spinal cord.
Vitamin B12 deficiency leads to cobalamin deficiency and is responsible for peripheral neuropathy. Vitamin B12 deficiency is also associated with diabetic neuropathy. In diabetic patients, this vitamin deficiency may be due to diabetes itself or to the use of glycemic drugs such as metformin. In patients with renal insufficiency, peripheral neuropathy is also due to vitamin B12 deficiency.
