That's a great question — is "Neuro Fuel" a legitimate supplement for rebuilding myelin, or just Facebook hype?
Unfortunately, there is currently no proven supplement that rebuilds myelin in MS. Products marketed this way on social media should be approached with caution, and it's always worth checking with your neurologist before trying anything new. For balance and foot drop with progressive MS, there are evidence-based options worth exploring with your care team:
- Physical therapy — targeted exercises can improve strength, balance, and reduce falls
- Ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) — a brace that stabilizes the foot and helps prevent toe dragging
- Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) — a wearable device that uses small electrical pulses to stimulate the peroneal nerve, helping lift the foot while walking
- Mobility aids — canes or walkers can provide extra stability
FES in particular has shown real improvements in walking speed and gait for people with MS-related foot drop. A neurologist or physical therapist can evaluate whether it's a good fit for you.
