Feverfew extract often states how much parthenolide there is, by percentage.

NOW Foods Feverfew is one example.

I have peripheral neuropathy in my left foot. Its a kind of tingling numbness that I notice mostly when I’m walking for more than a couple minutes. At the same time my left wrist has a kind of nerve pain that only shows up when I stress it with exercise.

My understanding is that alpha lipoic acid may do some good to help restore the myelin around the nerves.

Does it sound like Feverfew extract will be of some benefit here too?

I bought the Now feverfew on Amazon. amazon recommended NOW’s feverfew too.

Its not clear to me how much parthenolide I’m getting or what the recommended dose is.

According to the bottle, the feverfew is 0.5% - 0.7% Parthenolide. That’s for 175 milligrams of feverfew extract and 150 milligrams of feverfew powder.

I googled the recommended dose for parthenolide. According to google results:

The recommended dose of parthenolide, a compound found in feverfew, can vary depending on several factors such as age, weight, overall health, and the specific condition being treated. Additionally, there is no universally agreed-upon standard dose for parthenolide in humans as its use is often in herbal or dietary supplement form rather than a regulated medication.

For feverfew supplements containing parthenolide, typical doses may range from 50 to 250 milligrams per day, taken orally. However, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional or herbalist for personalized advice before starting any new supplement regimen, as they can provide guidance tailored to individual needs and potential interactions with other medications or health conditions.

Interesting. I’ve had a wound on my leg that won’t heal (thanks to my new rescue pup from over a year ago) and the nerve pain is what bothers me the most. My doc put me on Cymbalta and Gabapenten, which help a bit, but there’s still a lot of pain. I’ll research this more. Thanks for posting.
