You’ll want to share the ingredients of that supplement with your doctor to see what is right for you. Nerve Savior contains: Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Vitamin B6, Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol), Folate, Vitamin D12, Ashwagandha, Turmeric, Benfotiamine, Acetyl L-Carnitine, Broccoli Powder.
My PCP doctor recommended Alpha Lipoic acid for me. The neurologist told me it was okay for me to take B12 for 6 months but no more. And definitely not B6. My B6 is getting too high. B vitamins are essential but too much can damage nerves. Turmeric is best absorbed when eaten warmed up with black pepper - you’d want to find out if your body can absorb turmeric from a capsule. And, ashwagandha - I’ve looked before and I can’t find consistent reports whether this is good or not.
The other issue, is whether this brand is actually providing appropriate levels of the supplements or not. It drives me crazy to read the reports that say some supplements don’t have what their label says it has . . . I want to know which brands they know are mislabeled.
It seems like Periferal Neuropathy is the newest thing to have. I see advertisements every day on TV for some thing that will cure it or help it or Clinics that have opened up in the area that have THE answers for your pain…🙄
Having neuropathy for 15 years now and tried everything, can hardly walk now using my canes whereever I go. I feel nothing works much at all. Supplements are mostly a scam in my opinion after taking every one making claims that just are not trueI, they just want our money is all. If something does pop up, and works well, our doctors will know very quickly, having many patients suffering as I do..
One thing, I wear foot warmers in cold weather, anything colder than about 70 degrees and it does help as my feet are in that freezing state most all the time.
2nd thing, I also take Gabapentin several times each day and between these two items I get by, just enough though that I can sleep at night..
So this is just an opinion, but I feel anyone who takes colesterol meds is at risk for neuropathy. Doctors will not verify this saying they have no evidence but if one looks at what neuropathy is, the loss of the Mylan sheath that is made from our bodies natural colesterol working like an insulator over the nerves, it sort of makes sense. I took heavy does of this Med and within a year I had neuropathy that steadily got worse and worse..The nerves lose this covering that then sends pain signals to the brain..My own therory but there you have it..
Question: If I am taking 2 Alpha L Acid, 2 x 25 Pregabalin each morning and usually at least 1/2 Tramadol, would it be safe to take the Protocol 525 also? comments on Nerve Savior and B-12? Looking for relief!!
This has been very helpful after buying to make of so called cures, I really appreciate the input. Thank you very much
I have been trying Nerve Savior for nearly a month now and it has only gotten worse for me. I have a LOT of body itching now, and wild leg syndrome so I am now sleeping less and less and have increasing pain. I am going to request a refund and see what happens. I have been ripped off a few times trying to find that one cure and am also about ready to throw away the meds my doctors have me on. I am an 80 year old Vietnam Veteran and way past the 70,000 mile warranty. I was way up North in Vietnam by the DMZ back in 1968 ti 1970.
It seems like my body's auto immune system is completely gone now and getting worse by the day. My body also does not like exercise any longer which I really hate and miss. Have been using acupuncture, massage, and Chiro and nothing seems to really work, but I do feel good for a little while after a goot hand and foot massage. I think one is basically screwed once one is older and experiencing these symptoms. It is a longtime healthy body winding down to die in my opinion!! Semper Fi.
I have used this supplement for a month. I have had no reaction to it at all. I will not be ordering more. It does have benfotiamine in it, which I think does have an impact. I will just go back to taking the benfotiamine by itself.
As for the taking of statins causing nerve pain; I must disagree because I have never taken statins and I have “nerve pain”.
Perhaps it’s in combination with another drug?
Hi Joyce @joyceeez, Welcome to Connect. I hesitate to call Nerve Savior a scam but it's not going to cure neuropathy if that is what you are looking for. There is no cure for neuropathy but there is evidence of some supplements that provide relief for neuropathy symptoms. A lot of the ingredients of Nerve Savior are also listed as supplements people with neuropathy have found provided some form of relief for their symptoms on the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy's list of complementary and alternative treatments - https://www.foundationforpn.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Complementary-and-Alternative-Treatments-Revised-2020-final.-1.pdf.
Are you able to share a little more about your neuropathy diagnosis and any treatments you have tried?
