How it works

Replenishes essential B vitamins and cofactors required for myelin synthesis, nerve conduction, and mitochondrial energy production while simultaneously inhibiting oxidative stress through antioxidant pathways and reducing advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in peripheral nerves. Activates cellular methylation cycles and restores glucose homeostasis through chromium-mediated insulin signaling and selenoprotein-dependent antioxidant enzyme systems, thereby protecting neuronal tissue from hyperglycemic damage and supporting regeneration of damaged nerve fibers.

How to take this drug

Usually take 1 capsule once or twice daily after food, or as your doctor directs. Swallow the capsule whole with water — do not crush or chew it. Known in Nigeria as Renerve Plus Capsule.

What if I Miss a Dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if it is almost time for your next dose, just skip the missed one and continue your normal schedule. Do not take two capsules at once to make up for it.

What to watch out for

Buy only from reputable pharmacies — do not buy from roadside vendors or unregistered shops, as fake supplements are common in Nigeria. Do not take more than the recommended dose thinking it will work faster — too much selenium or zinc can be harmful. If you are diabetic, keep monitoring your blood sugar as this supplement may change how your body responds to your diabetes medication.

Common Side Effects

Mild stomach upset or nausea
slight headache
mild diarrhea or loose stool
a metallic taste in the mouth

Serious Side Effects

Severe allergic reaction such as swelling of the face
lips or throat and difficulty breathing — go to the hospital immediately. Unusual skin rash or itching all over the body that does not stop.

Drug Interactions

If you are taking metformin or other diabetes drugs, this supplement may affect your blood sugar levels, so monitor closely. Avoid taking it at the same time as tetracycline or ciprofloxacin antibiotics, as the zinc can reduce their effectiveness — space them at least 2 hours apart. Alcohol can reduce the effectiveness of B vitamins in this supplement, so limit alcohol intake.
