Melatonin can help regenerate myelin sheath as discussed here :
' In in vivo, melatonin promotes the expression of Parkin, maintains autophagic flux, inhibits apoptosis, promotes myelin regeneration, reduces the regeneration of collagen fibers around damaged tissues, and promotes peripheral nerve repair. When adenovirus was used to down-regulate the expression of Parkin, we found that all the positive effects of melatonin were attenuated. '
Vitamin D also has shown the benefit of myelin repair as discussed here :
' In addition to modulating immune responses, some preclinical studies suggest vitamin D may play a direct role in myelin repair by increasing the production of oligodendrocytes — the cells chiefly responsible for making new myelin in the brain and spinal cord. '
