I recently went & had a EMG & EEG. My Dr. said I had some nerve damage in my legs? My legs jump & twitch on their own? My Dr. said this matanx is a vitamin?

Free over the counter drugs for the treatment of Diabetic retinopathy ## Well, first, these are not drugs, they are supplements, which means they are claimed, but not proven to actually help with anything. As to the Nepretin, other than to say it is all natural, the company doesn't even list what's in it. The information available on their site just says antioxidants. Blueberry Extract tablets would fall under the same category, they have antioxidant properties. If you are diabetic and taking prescription medications, then it is very important that you check with your doctor, before taking any of these. Are there any comments or questions?
