Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

May I ask you if you are talking about a brand called NUTRILITE that Amway promotes?
If yes, there are many products under Nutrilite. Which supplements are you talking about.
Having said, current evidence does not approve of any supplement that can completely cure epilepsy. If there is a proven deficiency of any vitamin or mineral that caused epilepsy then supplements can be taken.

Let me know if you need clarification on anything else.

Brief Answer:
Treat the cause

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
First we need to find the cause of epilepsy leading to seizures. There is primary epilepsy where the cause is not yet identified and there is secondary where this a cause. If we treat the cause the secondary epilepsy would be cured completely.

In primary case, there is no 100% cure but treatment is promising.
The current treatment Zeptol CR 300 is a good medication to control the seizures if taken regularely and on time every day.

Brief Answer:
Cause

Detailed Answer:
Sorry Sir,

I practice allopathy form of medicine. I do not wish to comment on Ayurveda and Homeopathy.
As I said earlier if deficiency of certain nutrients or vitamins is cause of epilepsy they should surely be supplemented externally be it NUTRILITE or OTHER BRAND. If there is no proven deficiency or cause to be identified to epilepsy there is no meaning in taking these supplements.
I suggest you to meet an Epilepsologist to find the cause if you had not met one still.
