Has anyone ever used “Nervive” for temporary relief for burning feet?

Posted by gene1229 @gene1229, Aug 19 10:33am

I have found this product very effective to use at bedtime

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

@gene1229 What type of pain do you have? How severe? Glad it works for you. It sounds like any one of many scam nerve pain scams out there.

Nervive cream has worked for me.....I apply it to my feet at first sign of neuropathy sensation and rub it in well. Helps but does not total eliminate the tingling sensation. I also use OrthoSleeve Neuropathy no-show or OrthoSleeve toeless. Wish I could find something that relieved the numbness....

Nervive is made by Proctor and Gamble known for Crest, Gillette and other hygiene products.

Its just a b complex with alpha lipoic acid in one pill but expensive. They have a regular and nightime version of the vitamins and a cream too. I see their commercial on tv quite a bit.

I tried it when I first got diagnosed and it did nothing. The only reason I bought it was cause I mistook Proctor and Gamble for Pfizer and thought it was from an actual pharma company until I realized my mistake. I dont think I even looked at the ingredients until I got home. I wander why a toothpaste, deoderant company sells a neuropathy solution….well I do know why. But I guess its not really a scam as its just vitamins and the cream is lidocaine. I bought 3 bottles of the vitamins before stopping

@megidigo I tried Nervive with little to no result - the pill form. Be aware that it has significant amounts of B6 and B12 along with ALA. So many of the miracle cures have the same ingredients. You need to be careful that doses do not become toxic and make
symptoms worse.

High levels of B6 can cause nerve damage. My first neurologist did not test for it and I was not aware of this. My neighbor neurologist tested and I am above the maximum recommended levels. B6 can be found in vitamins, supplements, and energy/sports drinks.

Reply to all from Boomarang12 One thing about all of you & this program is everyone of us do thorough research for ourselves & share with others. It is amazing. I was reading all your comments on Nervive & you all came up with the same answers as I did when I was doing my research on the product. I was doing for a friend. I do not think she will be using it as she is on blood thinners & experiences seizures. As for myself, I thought I might have Neuropathy because of burning feet. My Cardiologist took one look at my legs & said, You have Neuropathy. I told my Neurologist & she she performed tests on both my legs & informed me I do not have Neuropathy. I was pleased. However I do have Insufficient blood flow in my veins of my lower legs. Age related. The name has slipped my mind. In hot weather my ankles swell a bit if I sit for extended periods. Winter they are fine. It is better to have second opinions from our doctors. Two heads are better than one. It was suggest by doctor I keep my legs & feet moving as much as possible. Even when lying down. Just wanted to share with all you intelligent folks in our group. Thanks a bunch.

@boomarang It sounds like you have venous insuffiency which is diagnosed by ultrasound at Vein treatment centers. I have that condition and treatment begins with radio Ablation where ankle and feet Veins that have ineffective valve closure are abated to eliminate blood pooling. Insurance covers cost of treatment. You should look into it.

Nervaid spray sells for about 25dollars. The active ingredients are Lidocaine 4 percent and mint 1 percent. You can buy a can of Lidocaine with a 4 Percent active ingredient with a generic brand name i.e. Walgreens etc. for around nine dollars. I don't think the mint added anything to the effeteness of the spray. Save your money and by plain old store brand Lidocaine. It is somewhat effective for a short time period, as is Nervaid but a lot less expensive.

Nervive has 100% US RDA of the B6, B12 and thiamine B vitamins in a single pill plus 600mg of ALA. ALA is a prescription med in Germany but unregulated by the FDA in the US as it is classed as a supplement. The reports on nerve damage due to high levels of B6 typically are above 100mg daily dose. Although there may be reports below 50mg, they appear to be infrequent. A 3x dose of Nervive pills once daily is 5mg of B6 in total per day, so 5mg B6 shouldn't trigger this reported toxicity. There are several OTC B6 supplements that contain 100mg B6, so those should not be a first choice unless dosing once weekly or fewer doses. Peripheral Neuropathy and Diabetic Neuropathy symptoms are said to be attenuated or alleviated when dosing more than the recommended RDA of various B vitamins. The science is murky but it is worth a shot if various SNRO drugs have poor efficacy or major side effects, especially at the higher doses often prescribed for PN symptoms.
