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.

See your health care professional if symptoms persist or worsen, or if new symptoms develop. Neuragen has a unique floral aroma due to its base of natural essential plant extracts. The aroma usually does not cause allergic sensitivities, but persons with known allergies to aromatic compounds or with environmental sensitivities should not use this product. Neuragen is not recommended for muscular pain or arthritis unless at least one of the following symptoms are present; shooting, tingling, prickling, or burning pain or sensitivity to touch.
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.
