Sphingolin has proven beneficial in adding nutritional support to the diet of individuals who are currently being treated for such neurological conditions as Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS) and Muscular Sclerosis (MS). The myelin protective proteins which are the main ingredient in this formula are sourced from organically raised cattle in New Zealand. Sphingolin not only protects the delicate sheaths covering the nerves, it also helps facilitate the transmission of nerve impulses throughout the body.
