What the literature actually says.
Below is a plain-language summary of the published research behind each of the five nutrients in Nerve Alive. Where a study is cited, the canonical reference is the linked PubMed/NIH record — not the summary printed here.
- 01Benfotiamine
A 2008 randomized study (Stracke et al., Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes) reported that benfotiamine improved neuropathic symptom scores in adults with diabetic polyneuropathy over a six-week observation window vs. placebo.
PubMed reference - 02Alpha-Lipoic Acid
The SYDNEY 2 trial (Ziegler et al., Diabetes Care 2006) reported significant improvements in Total Symptom Score with oral ALA at 600 mg/day for five weeks vs. placebo across more than 180 participants with distal symmetric polyneuropathy.
PubMed reference - 03Methylcobalamin
A 2005 trial (Sun et al., Adv Ther) reported that methylcobalamin supplementation supported nerve-conduction parameters and reduced subjective neuropathic symptoms in adults with peripheral neuropathy of diabetic origin.
PubMed reference - 04Acetyl-L-Carnitine
A pooled analysis (Sima et al., Diabetes Care 2005) reported that ALC at 1,000 mg three times daily supported reductions in pain scores and improvements in nerve fiber regeneration markers over a 52-week period.
PubMed reference - 05Passionflower
A 2001 double-blind trial (Akhondzadeh et al., J Clin Pharm Ther) reported that Passiflora incarnata extract supported reductions in generalized anxiety scores comparable to a standard reference — relevant for nighttime tension that compounds neuropathic discomfort.

A note on framing.
The studies linked above examine each individual nutrient in isolation, often in adults with diabetes-related neuropathy. The Nerve Alive formula combines them at researcher-cited doses, but individual outcomes vary. None of these references should be read as a treatment claim — they describe published associations, not promises.
