How does Neuragen® work?
Results from animal studies indicate that Neuragen® reduces the spontaneous firing of damaged peripheral nerves. By calming these aberrant electrical signals at the source, Neuragen® reduces neuropathic (nerve) pain quickly and without the side effects of orally taken medications. This is in part due to lipophilic molecules found in Neuragen® which rapidly carry the active ingredients through the tough outer layer of the skin (stratum corneum) to the site of the pain.

How often should I use Neuragen® ?
Apply a few drops or spray to the affected area several times a day or as needed. Apply enough to cover the entire area. For efficient application to wider areas, we recommend diluting 4-5 drops of Neuragen® in 1 tablespoon of a suitable massage or carrier oil (such as olive or mineral oil) prior to application. Use no more than 4 times daily. Neuragen® is concentrated-apply only a few drops as applying more than a few drops at a time may not improve effectiveness. Upon first application, the patient may experience fast relief-usually within 30 minutes. If relief is not experienced with the first application, patient should repeat the application over a period of three days.
