We know that many South Africans with Diabetes struggle with nerve health, which is why we were so excited to hear about a new supplement that supports healthy nerves and may assist with the symptoms associated with neuropathy. Read on for more!
What is WelTek-Nuro?
WelTek-Nuro is a supplement that is used to assist and support nerve health, and is manufactured by well-known brand MSN. When the sensory system is impacted by injury or conditions like diabetes, the nerves within that system cannot work to transmit sensation to the brain. This may often lead to a sense of numbness, or a lack of sensation.
WelTek-Nuro contains ingredients that not only assist in maintaining healthy nerves, but may also encourage the repair of the sensory system. This product may assist in protecting neurons in our body.
Each capsule contains:
Methylcobalamin
This ingredient supports the normal functioning of the nervous and immune system and may support healthy cells.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Provides antioxidant that may help to prevent cell damage.
Benfotiamine
May help with the normal functioning of the nervous system.
Inositol
This supports cellular function, growth and metabolic processes.
Pyridoxine
Used to maintain nerve health and the normal functioning of the nervous system.
Folic acid
This helps the body to produce more red blood cells and maintain good health.
“After living with Type 1 diabetes for 15 years and experiencing tingling in my feet, I realised how important it is to support my nerve health. WelTek-Nuro has become part of my daily routine to help me take better care of my nerves.”
Kirsten de Klerk, living with diabetes for 15 years
Who is it for?
Neurons can become damaged as a result of:
Nutritional deficiency
Injury to the nerves
Age
Diabetes
“In recent years I began experiencing ‘diabetes fog’ and burning feet, that would happen mostly at night. Early in 2026 I started using WelTek-Nuro pills, and within a week I started seeing a big difference. The fog started to lift, I could think clearly and began to have energy. The best thing is that my feet are not burning anymore, and I sleep throughout the night. It feels so good to be able to feel normal again.”
Lindie Motsoane, living with diabetes for 18 years
So WelTek-Nuro is particularly good for those who have had a nutritional deficiency or injury, as well as older people and those of us with diabetes.
“Over the years I have faced serious complications including Neuropathy, Retinopathy, Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), an amputation in 2020, and a stroke in 2024. I began taking WelTek-Nuro tablets four weeks ago. The changes were not dramatic cures, but rather small physiological shifts that I could clearly observe in my nerve responsiveness, muscle activity, and general body function. For someone with long-standing complications, these small shifts matter.”
Salih Hendricks, living with diabetes for 44 years
Small changes that make a big difference
Salih, who works in diabetes peer advocacy and support, holds the belief that when blood glucose is managed well, other medications and supportive therapies have a better chance of working effectively. His observations while using WelTek-Nuro included:
Toe flexibility
I noticed slightly improved ability to move my toes compared to my previous baseline.
Numbness
There has been a small but noticeable reduction in numbness in my toes and affected areas.
Tingling / Electric sensations
At times I experienced brief waves of tingling, which felt like nerves becoming more active. These sensations were short and not painful.
Cramping
I experienced fewer cramps in my legs and stump area.
Stump muscle twitching
Twitching and spasms in my stump appeared to be less frequent or less intense.
Memory and mental clarity
I felt small improvements in concentration, and memory recall after my stroke.
Bowel function
My bowel movements became more regular and easier.
WelTek-Nuro isn’t the only product that MSN are bringing to South Africa, though. They also have a wound healing product called WelTek-Heal and a foot cream called WelTek-DF.
What is WelTek-Heal?
Wound healing isn’t always straightforward when your body functions differently… There is a process that your body follows to make sure repairs happen properly, but with diabetes, wounds can take a bit more time to heal and may need a bit more support.
WelTek-Heal has been developed to include the combination of Rutoside with two enzymes called Bromelain and Trypsin. This combination can assist by relieving inflammation and supporting wound healing.
Each tablet supports the wound healing process using the combination therapy:
Bromelain
Assists in the reduction of swelling and inflammation.
Rutin
Increases the function and strength of blood vessels by protecting the capillaries.
Bromelain and Trypsin
Breaks down the inflammatory metabolites (signals to the body to slow down inflammation), and removes debris from the wound.
Trypsin
Assists in tissue healing and reducing swelling (oedema).
Who is it for?
WelTek-Heal contains a targeted formulation that can assist in healthy tissue formation, oedema (excess fluid that causes swelling and pain) and inflammation. It may support wound healing in acute injuries (like sporting injuries), post-surgery and degenerative joint conditions.
WelTek-Heal is an oral enteric-coated tablet that may assist with wound healing.
WelTek Diabetic Foot Cream
Do you struggle with itching and dryness of the feet? WelTek-DF might be what you’re looking for! It has moisturising and soothing effects for gentle foot care.
What WelTek-DF is and what it’s used for
WelTek-DF is a topical herbal preparation cream intended for foot care, especially for people with diabetic foot concerns.
It may also:
Hydrate and nourish dry, rough, or calloused feet
Soften the skin and promote local comfort
Support skin health in diabetic conditions
This medicine is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure medical conditions.
Where can people find out more or buy the products?
WelTek-Heal, WelTek-Nuro and WelTek-DF Cream are all schedule 0 products, meaning that no prescription is required for them.
