Why We Chose It

Stonehenge Health’s Dynamic Nerve is Review Scout’s top choice. This supplement contains all four essential nerve-supporting ingredients: ALA, PEA, Boswellia Serrata, and the Benfotiamine form of Vitamin B1, plus the bioavailable Methylcobalamin form of Vitamin B12. They have also gone a step further by including six additional nerve-supporting nutrients, including acetyl-L-carnitine and vitamins B2, B6, and B9.

In reviewing dozens of nerve-supporting brands, we found that very few have utilized the proper form of ALA in the correct 600 mg dosage which is the amount backed by clinical studies to be effective for nerve health. Not only does Stonehenge Health’s Dynamic Nerve check this critical box, but just as importantly, they list the exact amounts of each ingredient in their product so you know exactly what you’re getting. We like it when a company is transparent, like Stonehenge Health.

We verified that Stonehenge Health’s formula does not contain synthetic fillers or artificial ingredients and uses vegetarian capsules. Stonehenge Health backs its products with a no-questions-asked, 90-day money-back guarantee and is one of the few brands endorsed by a board-certified doctor. We also like that they offer customers discounts on bundles. Click on the link below to see their current specials.

Why We Chose It

SciatiEase is a popular nerve support brand that has been selling for some time. We were pleased to see the potent dosage of PEA, Benfotiamine form of Vitamin B1, Methylcobalamin form of Vitamin B12, and other nerve-supporting B Vitamins. While this product does contain the standard form of ALA, it only offers 300 mg per serving, which is half of the 600 mg dosage confirmed for effectiveness by clinical studies. It’s also missing the important anti-inflammatory Boswellia Serrata.

While we applaud SciatiEase’s generous 180-day return policy, it’s the most expensive of all the products we reviewed, and some consumers have noted that it can be difficult to take since it requires 4 capsules per serving. Complaints of stomach upset may also be related to the large dosage requirement, the number of ingredients, and the use of gelatin capsules instead of consumer-preferred vegetarian capsules.

Why We Chose It

Purehealth Research Nerve Regen has gained popularity through the company’s use of heavy online advertising. We liked that this formula contains the exact same potent dosage of Benfotiamine and Methylcobalamin that the top-ranked product, Dynamic Nerve, does. However, aside from not including the essential ingredients PEA and Boswellia Serrata, Purehealth Research’s formula only offers 150 mg of standard Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). That equates to 25% of the amount used in clinical studies.

This brand relies on including 150 mg of R-ALA, a different form of Alpha Lipoic Acid. The challenge with R-ALA is that, to date, no human clinical studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in supporting nerve health. Even when you combine this formula’s ALA and R-ALA, it only equates to 300 mg, which is half the recommended 600 mg dose.

Like others on this list, Nerve Regen requires the user to take 4 capsules per serving. Consumers have complained about heartburn, potentially related to the various ingredients in this product’s “proprietary blend.” While we appreciate this brand’s generous 1-year return policy, we imagine consumers will be using it, considering Nerve Regen’s lack of potency and 4-pill per serving requirement.

Why We Chose It

Sciaticare contains several key ingredients but fell low on our rankings due to its use of a proprietary blend. We were puzzled by Sciaticare’s inclusion of both forms of Vitamin B1, Thiamine and Benfotiamine. However, a careful review of their label only reveals the amount of Thiamine, and the Benfotiamine is hidden in the proprietary blend. We often see this as a marketing technique to allow a company to hyper their use of a critical ingredient when they are likely using a minuscule and ineffective dosage.

We prefer brands that are fully transparent in their ingredient dosages. Sciaticare is another brand relying on the R-ALA form of Alpha Lipoic Acid. As mentioned earlier, to date, there are no human clinical studies demonstrating R-ALA’s effectiveness in supporting nerve health. The question of how much R-ALA remains a mystery as this ingredient is in the proprietary blend. What is not a mystery is that Sciaticare does not include either PEA or Boswellia Serrata. The brand only offers consumers a 30-day return period, far shorter than our recommended 90-day minimum return policy.

Why We Chose It

Nervive Nerve Relief has become a trendy product due partly to this brand’s aggressive television advertising budgets. Initially, we were impressed that Nervive contains 600 mg of standard Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) and three different forms of B vitamins. Upon closer inspection, it became evident that the brand has a lower selling price thanks to its considerably cheaper, less bioavailable, and less effective forms in Cyanocobalamin instead of Methylcobalamin and Thiamine instead of Benfotiamine.

Nervive also lacks the critical ingredients PEA and Boswellia Serrata. Then again, television advertising is costly, and they need to cut costs where possible to keep the advertising going. Consumers have complained about dizziness and burning sensations when taking the product. We were not thrilled that Nervive contains low-quality and unnatural additives like FD&C Blue No.2 Aluminum Lake.

Information on Nervive’s return policy was not readily available on their website.
