The Sciatica Pro Journal

Ten Rows, Ten Printed Amounts, and No Blend

The label post, and the one that has to come first, because it is what makes the other three possible. The Supplement Facts panel lists ten ingredients and prints a separate amount for every one of them: 20 mcg of vitamin D3, 1.7 mg of vitamin B6, 383 mcg DFE of folate, 2 mcg of vitamin B12, 400 mg of alpha lipoic acid, 150 mg of benfotiamine, 50 mg of acetyl L-carnitine, and three plant powders at 25 mg each. There is no proprietary blend, nothing pooled and nothing a reader has to leave as a range, which means every comparison on this site is a division rather than a guess. The post then runs the cheapest honesty test there is: divide each printed amount by its Daily Value and check the printed per cent. Four rows carry one, and all four are correct — including folate, where the label had to convert 230 mcg of folic acid into 383 mcg DFE before the 96% beside it could be right. It closes on where the weight of the formula actually sits, which is not where ten names imply, and on the one thing a printed amount can never be: a measurement.

The Condition Nobody Studied

The evidence post. The front of the bottle says “Clinically Studied Ingredients†” and that sentence is true of three rows out of ten — alpha lipoic acid, benfotiamine and acetyl L-carnitine. The post audits it rather than disputing it, and finds two things that have to be carried together. Every one of those trials used more than this label prints: 400 of 600, 150 of 300, 50 of 1,500 — two-thirds, one half and one thirtieth. And every one of those trials was carried out in diabetic neuropathy, which is metabolic nerve damage, while sciatica is nerve compression: MedlinePlus describes it as pressure on or damage to the sciatic nerve. The post quotes all three conclusions word for word, including a Cochrane review that describes its own evidence as sparse and of very low certainty at thirty times the amount printed here. It is equally careful in the other direction: untested is not a synonym for useless, and the post says what would settle the question instead.

How these posts are written

Under the same rules as the rest of this site, and they are published in full on the editorial standards page. Every outside source is a United States federal page or a named published trial — MedlinePlus, NINDS, NIH’s Office of Dietary Supplements, FDA, the Federal Trade Commission or the electronic Code of Federal Regulations — opened and read on October 11, 2026, and quoted rather than paraphrased. Each post lists its own sources at the end.

Every amount on these pages is printed on the label. There is no proprietary blend on this bottle, so nothing here is a derived bound, an estimate or a range, and the words at most and capped at appear nowhere. Where a printed amount is set against a studied amount, the condition the trial ran in is named in the same sentence, every time, because every trial cited on this site was in diabetic neuropathy and none of them studied sciatica. Where the bottle and the supplied pack disagree — the name, the distributor — both are printed and neither is resolved quietly. Where a figure was not supplied at all, the page says so and says where to look instead. The price, the shipping line and the guarantee length are read at the checkout, on the authority of the seller’s own instruction, “Print live checkout prices. Do not guess.” The certificate document was never supplied and no page here pretends otherwise.

What is not here

No price, no pack total, no discount and no number of guarantee days, in any wording, because none was supplied: the seller’s own pack says “Print live checkout prices. Do not guess.” No customer is quoted and no star rating is printed as a rating, because nothing in the review block supplied with this product ties any of it to an order; there is no AggregateRating or Review markup anywhere in this site’s structured data, and no photograph of a person appears here as a customer. Nothing on these pages says that any agency has approved, cleared, reviewed or tested this product. And no clinician’s name appears as this site’s medical reviewer: the byline is printed on every page and it is not filled yet, because a name arrived with the marketing pack and nothing came with it to show that she had read a word of this site.

Corrections

Every post carries an updated date. If something here is wrong, write to [email protected] with the post and the line; the post is corrected and the date moves forward. That desk answers Mon–Fri 9:00am–5:00pm ET and cannot see an order — tracking, a change or a refund goes to the order desk on +1 (302) 200-3480. The product pages behind these posts start at the ingredients page and the ten printed amounts.
