My Research - Multiple Sclerosis research articles and thoughts
When I started this page it was a pretty quick read. Now it has more information I have added a contents list. Just click on the relevant heading to open up the section of interest.
MS Disease Modifying Therapies (DMT)
Published: 27 May 2026
While taking a Disease-Modifying Therapy (DMT) for MS often called DMT for MS in patient resources will not fix the nerve damage from yesterdays attack, however it puts up a vital shield to stop your immune system from causing more harm tomorrow.
How Dietary Supplements help you manage MS sympoms
Published: 24 April 2026
Multiple sclerosis (MS) can cause fatigue, muscle cramps/spasms, tingling, sleep problems, and brain fog. Some supplements may help a little with specific symptoms, especially if you're low in a nutrient. The goal is simple: choose a small number of options with reasonable evidence, start low, and track whether you actually feel better.
Alpha Lipoic Acid and MS : What the latest research shows
18 Feb. 2026
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is an endogenous mitochondrial co-factor with antioxidant and immunomodulatory actions. Progressive MS is associated with oxidative injury, mitochondrial dysfunction, and chronic innate immune activation, providing a rationale for studying ALA as an adjunct.
Myelin Repair in Multiple Sclerosis
Jan. 2026
The pursuit of myelin repair therapies in MS remains a dynamic and evolving field. While pharmacological, stem cell, and immunomodulatory approaches show potential, challenges such as age-related decline, lesion variability, and clinical translation must be addressed. With continued research, collaboration, and technological innovation, the goal of restoring myelin and improving outcomes for MS patients appears increasingly within reach.
Probiotic Suplements and Disease Progression in Multiple Sclerosis
Over the past 20 years many studies have been conducted investigating the link between Gut bacteria and the immune system [1]. The gut microbiota helps us remain healthy by regulating various functions, including food metabolism, energy homeostasis, maintenance of the intestinal barrier, inhibition of colonisation by pathogenic organisms, and shaping of both mucosal and systemic immune responses.
Nutritional Supplements help with MS Fatigue
A recent study, published July 2021, has shown that certain vitamin dietary supplementation can reduce the symptoms of MS-fatigue and improve quality of life (QOL).
Bladder problems with MS
Bladder problems occur in 80% of people with MS. Bladder dysfunction can limit independence, reduce self-esteem, increase fatigue and impact upon long-term health. Therefore it is no wonder that here at Multiplesupplements.com we are frequently asked for advice on how to manage this debilitating condition better.
B group vitamins
The B Group of Vitamins are all water soluble vitamins, meaning they are not stored in the body for later use. This is why it is important to have a diet that necessitates continually replacing Vitamain B so they are available when your body needs them.
Biotin Vitamin B7
Biotin is part of the B-complex group of vitamins which help convert food into fuel for our cells to function properly. With regard to MS it is of particular interest in enabling Neuron energy production. A French Pharmaceutical company started the interest in Biotin for MS. Running trials on how Biotin effects different symptoms of progressive forms of Multiple Sclerosis in 2015. Since then there have been many other trials and reviews detailing various benefits to MS.
Vitamin D and the Coimbra protocol
Dr Coimbra has been doing work since the late 90's on utilising high doses of Vitamin D3 in treating auto-immune diseases, in particular Multiple Sclerosis.
What is ALA and why the interest in MS?
Lipoic acid also known as alpha lipoic acid is an organosulfur derived from caprylic acid. Alpha Lipoic Acid is being trialed for use with Multiple Sclerosis.
