Kitty and Dejibo are correct... that boatload of herbs is basically useless. They are thrown together in that proprietary blend so you don't know what you are really getting...how much of each.

Herbs should be used very carefully, and researched. They can have surprisingly negative effects...and with a huge mix like this how would you know what is happening to you accurately?

I don't ever recommend proprietary blended products. I think they are useless, but they sound impressive and are used basically as a marketing tool IMO.

Here is a link that explains which supplements may help MS:

http://www.msrc.co.uk/index.cfm?fuse...how&pageid=772

The selenium is high on this site, and so is the manganese and zinc. So I can't advocate everything on this list either.

But I do think that some supplements help MS patients.
The Vit D we know, and B12 also. Fish oil and the new Krill oil, are both useful for anyone with neuro inflammation.

Curcumin and grapeseed extract may be helpful too.

I'd spend your financial resources in this direction instead.
