Marshmallow Root: why it is in NervoVive
Marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis) is a traditional soothing botanical rich in mucilage, but direct human evidence for neuropathy or nerve repair is sparse.

What the evidence actually shows
The official NervoVive reference page cites laboratory research on epithelial-cell physiology and other non-neuropathy work. That may support biological activity, but it does not answer whether oral marshmallow root improves peripheral neuropathy symptoms.
Safety and interaction context
Botanical preparations can vary. People with medication regimens should ask a pharmacist about timing and interactions because mucilaginous herbs may affect absorption of other substances.
