The active ingredients in Nerve Renew incorporate the results of modern medical studies into neuropathy, as well as traditional remedies for nerve pain. The result is a thorough and powerful formula including B-complex vitamins, potent plant extracts, and other ingredients clinically proven to help manage nerve pain. With that being said, Nerve Renew is not a scam, but rather a very effective solution to relieve nerve pain.

The Main Ingredients in Nerve Renew

The following ingredients constitute the primary active ingredients in the Neuropathy Support Formula.

Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1 is a common point of nutritional deficiency in modern adults, with up to 80% of Americans being deficient. It can be found in meat, and in baked goods containing yeast, as well as in the cereal grains; vegans, and individuals with a gluten intolerance, are particularly prone to deficiency.

B1 is also known as thiamine, and is used by the body to produce and maintain healthy myelin sheathes, the protective coverings which prevent damage to the peripheral nerves. Through supplementation, thiaine also works to help restore healthy nerve function.

Vitamin B2

Vitamin B2 is a critical part of the body’s reparative self-repair systems. Like other B-complex vitamins, it is a frequent point of deficiency in today’s adults. Naturally-occurring B2 is found primarily in soybeans, legumes, and nuts (particularly almonds) as well as in yogurt, eggs, mushrooms, and a variety of dark green leafy vegetables.

B2 is also known as riboflavin; it helps to maintain the body’s internal repair systems, aiding in the restoration of a variety of damaged tissues—including nerve tissue. Healthy levels of riboflavin also work to protect the nervous system from harm.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is found in a wide variety of foods. It is especially rich in organ meat, but is also found in high concentrations in poultry and fish. Major sources of B6 also include potatoes and non-citrus fruit. B6 is not frequently deficient in modern adults; however, people with an alcohol dependency, kidney problems, or autoimmune disorders are at an increased risk of deficiency.

B6 is also known as pyridoxine. It impacts physical and mental health in many ways, supporting both the cardiovascular and the nervous system. It is essential to healthy brain and spinal cord development and maintenance, and it supports the other B-vitamins in their efforts.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid

Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant, which is found naturally in every cell in the body. It is used by mitochondria to help transform sugar into energy, which is then used to promote normal, healthy cellular function.

Alpha-lipoic acid is sometimes called lipoic acid. This helps to set it apart from other, similarly named substances. There is significant clinical evidence that lipoic acid supplementation directly lowers blood sugar levels, making it an effective part of diabetes management.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is naturally present in few foods. Many foods, such as common breakfast cereals and milk, are often fortified with it, and it is produced naturally when ultraviolet light strikes the skin. Regardless of how it is produced, the vitamin is inert, until it is acted upon by the body. If one is not careful, it is easy to become deficient.

Vitamin D is known by a variety of names, depending upon its form. The two most essential to human health are known as cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol. Their primary function is to aid in the body’s absorption of other important minerals, such as zinc and magnesium, many of which are inherently important to a healthy nervous system.

The Proprietary Blend

The Nerve Renew proprietary blend includes a range of extracts which, in addition to being traditional favorite home remedies, have also been shown to positively impact nervous system health.

Oatstraw Extract

Oatstraw extract is produced from green oats. As far back as the middle ages, it was a widely used folk remedy for basic mental health concerns. Today, it is widely taken as a caffeine alternative for a healthy energy boost and increased mental clarity. Its use is believed to help balance the generation of endorphins, which help the body to manage nerve pain.

Skullcap Extract

Skullcap extract comes from the skullcap plant, a perennial member of the mint family which grows widely throughout the eastern US. It is traditionally used as a home remedy to relieve anxiety and promote a more focused and relaxed mental state. Its use has been shown to improve the function of the nervous system, as well as assisting in general pain management. There is conclusive medical evidence for skullcap’s properties as an anti-inflammatory.

Passionflower Extract

Passionflower extract is produced from most of the above-ground portions of the passionflower plant. It sees widespread use, in both traditional and modern medicine, as a calming agent for patients with anxiety; it is also popular for the treatment of sleep disorders, and of gastrointestinal problems relating to stress. It has been demonstrated as having specific benefits for the treatment of nerve pain and inflammation, and is widely believed to be supportive of a healthy nervous system overall.

Feverfew Extract

Once native to Asia Minor, feverfew is now commonly grown throughout the world. Its dried leaves, as well as its extract, are used for a variety of medicinal benefits. It is most widely touted for its ability to help manage migraines, which are classically difficult to treat; it is also taken to help manage fevers, arthritis, and other pain related to inflammation or nerve damage.

Over the last several years, some of the Neuropathy Treatment Group’s regular customers have registered complaints. Some were regarding  the company’s practices, while others concerned the product itself. NTG stands by its 100% quality guarantee, and has repeatedly acted to resolve customer complaints to their satisfaction.

Severe Reactions

Some customers have complained of strong reactions to the formula. This is deeply unfortunate, and is regretted by the NTG, but the company’s assertion that there are no common side effects to the use of their product has been called into question in response.

Each of the ingredients in Nerve Renew falls under one of two categories: it is either a widely-used vitamin supplement, or else a widely-used herbal supplement, part of the Neuropathy Treatment Group’s proprietary blend. These supplements are all individually obtainable through other sources, and have undergone extensive individual clinical trials—some at doses far exceeding those which are present in the product itself.

There are individual allergies to some of these supplements. This is something which should be looked into with one’s doctor before beginning any new supplement regimen. The NTG cannot be held accountable for allergic reactions to a listed, publicly available ingredient.

Increased Pain After Consumption

One of the reactions which some individuals have reported after taking it is increased nerve pain. This is unfortunate, but not a side effect associated with any of the ingredients in the formulation.

The product is not aspirin. It is intended as a maintenance supplement to be taken over time, and—in some cases—it may take several days to a week for any effects to begin making themselves known. The effect is to provide the body with the substances it needs to maintain a healthy nervous system, as well as supporting agents for pain management.

Peripheral neuropathy is a progressively degenerative condition. There are more than 100 different types of neuropathic pain, classified by cause, type, severity, and where it occurs in the body. Some underlying causes exacerbate each other.

Neuropathy Support Formula is a broad solution, which is demonstrably effective at helping individuals with neuropathy to manage their condition in general, particularly with regard to the majority cause—diabetes, which contributes to neuropathic degeneration in several ways. No single treatment in existence is effective in every case of peripheral neuropathy.

Difficulty with the Cancelation of Auto-Shipments

Nerve Renew is offered by the NTG in the form of a subscription, with customers receiving one month’s supply at a time. The initial free trial is for two weeks’ worth of the supplement, for which the customer is charged shipping and handling. Their first paid shipment of the supplement is for the following two weeks, assuming the customer does not cancel in the meantime. Thereafter, the monthly shipment picks up as normal.

Most customers have gone out of their way to express satisfaction with the way the Neuropathy Treatment Group handles its cancelation and refund policy. The company takes great pride in its customer service, which contributes to its high rating with the Better Business Bureau.

There have been instances where cancelation was not processed in time to prevent a subsequent shipment. Aside from being the exception to the rule, the company has a proven track record of promptly dealing with these matters, issuing a full refund for any unused portion of the product upon the issue being brought to their attention.

Problems with Returns

Customers who have requested refunds will be required to return the unused portion of their product, where applicable. For obvious reasons, only whole and unopened bottles may be processed in this fashion; this is common practice for both medical and nutritional products. The risk of redistributing products which have potentially been tampered with, outside of the company’s influence, is unacceptable.

Other issues relate to questions regarding payment and compensation. The price of one bottle, which is available internationally, is expressed in U.S. currency. This is normally not an issue, but miscommunication has occasionally occurred. In such rare instances, the company always acts promptly to rectify any financial errors, in accordance with its no-hassle refund policy.

Email Spam

Customers have complained about receiving spam email after purchasing the product and consenting to receive updates by email. While this is a possibility, the Neuropathy Treatment Group does not market the contact information of its customers. Some individuals have reflected disappointment in the use of non-domestic advertising agencies, but this is a common practice with internet marketing; the NTG has neither advance knowledge of, nor control over, the subcontracting of advertisement services.

In response to a customer’s request, their contact information will be removed from the NTG’s email list. Continued dissatisfaction has been registered by individuals who refuse to accept this as satisfactory, demanding that the business abandon common digital marketing strategy, and threatening legal action if this step were not taken. The Better Business Bureau has never elected to take action against the Neuropathy Treatment Group on this matter.

The Neuropathy Support Formula has affected the lives of thousands of people, all of the world, who were previously struggling with the debilitating symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.

Some of those individuals have elected to make the Neuropathy Treatment Group aware of their positive experiences, and to thank them through public testimonial. The following accounts are all from real customers who have experienced the benefits of this revolutionary treatment for recurring nerve pain and degeneration.

Experiences May Differ!

As with any drug or nutritional supplement, not everyone will experience the same benefits from the use of the product, as shown in our post about the complaints. Some people will see no change at all, while others will experience varying degrees of improvement—and the supplement does require time in which to work.

The following accounts are those of real customers who consented to have their stories shared online, so that other people might come to know the relief associated with this innovative treatment for nerve pain.

The ingredients are safe. The first two weeks are free; there’s nothing to lose in giving it a try!

Carla in North Carolina

Carla’s mother was 77 years old when she first experienced crippling neuropathic pain. It made the already difficult task of getting around nearly impossible. Not only that, but Carla’s mother also suffers from epilepsy, a disorder which is made far worse by lack of sleep. The sleepless nights she experienced due to her neuropathy were taking a serious toll on her health.

Four years later, Carla came upon an online advertisement for the product, which she purchased on her mother’s behalf. Within three weeks, she wrote to the NTG, to thank them for their product. Carla’s mother has experienced a dramatic reduction in her pain levels; she isn’t completely pain-free, but she can walk again, as well as sleep through the night. Her mood has improved, and her health has taken a turn for the better.

Willy in Vancouver

Willy was told by doctors that the pain and numbness in his feet and toes would get better on its own—or, if it didn’t, that he’d simply have to learn to cope with it for the rest of his life. When he persisted in trying to find treatment, he was eventually referred to an expensive neuropathy specialist, whose waiting list put Willy’s first appointment at several months into the future.

Within the first two weeks of trying the supplement Nerve Renew—before he’d exhausted his supply of the free trial of the supplement—the numbness and tingling in Willy’s toes had completely gone away. He reports that his pain was greatly reduced, and is much easier to manage, and credits the product with giving him his life back.

Bill in North Carolina

Like many people, Bill took medication to manage the burning pain and tingling sensation in his legs and feet. In his case, Bill had been taking up to 4800mg of prescription drugs each day for almost nine years. This added up to a huge expense, and the worst part of it was how much pain and inconvenience Bill had to deal with despite being on the drugs. They helped, but not as much as anyone would be forgiven for expecting, given that level of investment.

According to Bill, who has been taking the product for four months as of his writing, his symptoms—including both pain and mobility issues—are down by about 95%. He credits the supplement not only with improving his quality of life, but with saving him a lot of money each month.

Ray in Utah

Ray’s neuropathic symptoms were going on four and a half years running, before he found Neuropathy Support Formula. By that time, as he describes it, his feet felt as though he were “walking on gravel” during routine everyday activities. It restricted his lifestyle through continuous pain and discomfort. Among Ray’s symptoms was a common problem among sufferers of peripheral neuropathy: cold, numb soles of the feet. This often leaves people with the condition unable to sleep at night.

Within six months of taking the supplement, Ray reports that his symptoms are almost entirely gone, allowing him to resume daily activities which he’d never thought to be able to do again. They only returned once: he felt the edge of tingling and numbness when, several months after experiencing the effects of the supplement for the first time, he decided not to reorder for one month. After getting back on the regimen, the symptoms have once more receded.

George in South Africa

Many people experience a partial reduction in symptoms after taking the supplement. This is often more than expensive drugs have been able to provide, and it allows them to get on with their lives. However, others have experienced virtually complete relief of their symptoms. One such individual, George from South Africa, has said that he was first able to ride his motorcycle again—after three and a half years of progressive peripheral neuropathy—after two months on Nerve Renew.

George has experienced the regrowth of hair on parts of his legs which had previously been numb. At night, during the worst of his symptoms, his pain was so intense that he would lie awake and hyperventilate. All of that is now gone, allowing George to resume the day-to-day activities he has very much missed in the interim.

Most online companies come under scrutiny at some point. This is doubly true for companies offering innovative treatments for long-term medical conditions.

The internet is a wonderful tool, which allows anyone and everyone to share their opinion—and it’s all too easy to find someone who will support an unverified claim (which, to be fair, works both ways).

 

Who is the Neuropathy Treatment Group?

The Neuropathy Treatment Group is a legally registered LLC which developed and distributes the Neuropathy Support Formula. The NTG has been a member of the Better Business Bureau since 2013, and has consistently maintained an A- rating with the BBB. Its president, Wes Jones, is a visible presence on the group’s website, with an introduction written by Mr. Jones to help explain what Nerve Renew is and why it works.

Why Is It Being Called a Scam?

First, it is a nutritional supplement, which is a somewhat controversial concept in itself. Furthermore, it is advertised as treating a condition which modern medicine has largely failed to address. There are people who have difficulty accepting this assertion as even being a possibility. There have been complaints regarding the NTG’s returns policy, and their fulfillment of their guarantee.

Finally, several years ago, the Neuropathy Treatment Group rebranded their product, which used to be called Neuropathy Support Formula. This was done in the interests of having a less generic name, which would allow the company to reach a wider audience. This is basic internet marketing, but to some people—individuals who were already asking questions—it wrongfully sent up a red flag.

The supplement is not being marketed as a miracle cure, but rather as a formula with substantial potential for managing the symptoms of a disabling condition over time. Medical science has not “failed” to do this, insofar as the very tools it would use for such a purpose are present in the formula. The most important vitamins for nervous system health, coupled with a range of herbal supplements also shown to support the nervous system, have been combined into a proprietary formula. Forms of these substances are used which are easy for the body to absorb, ensuring that the supplement gets to where it needs to go.

The Neuropathy Treatment Group has repeatedly acted to address grievances made known to its customer service department, issuing refunds and canceling accounts as requested. The staff are proud of their customer service policy, and stick religiously to their no-questions-asked guarantee and return policy. Not every person has been satisfied by this—a statement which might be made about any establishment or organization in existence.

What Does a Typical Scam Look Like?

The anatomy of a scam isn’t complicated. It simply takes a lot of work, and often a lot of help. While Wes Jones, president of the NTG, has his name all over his website (and is personally registered with the Better Business Bureau), the perpetrators of a scam will lie, avoid personal references, and use false (often stolen) identities to cover their tracks.

A fake company will, when the heat is on, disappear, only to pop up untraceably under another name at some later point in time—only to begin the same scam all over again. This is how they make their money. They do not typically register with organizations like the Better Business Bureau, where the NTG has been registered since 2013. They rarely honor guarantees, they don’t honor returns or refunds, and they often use fake testimonials—not the actual, first-and-last-name identities displayed (with consent) on the Neuropathy Treatment Group’s website.

A fake company does not invest a great deal of money into advertising or promotions. They don’t give back money that they have in hand. Rather, they keep expenses as low as possible. The game may be up after they’ve earned only a few thousand dollars; in that case, the process of tearing everything down (and then setting up again under another name) needs to be economically viable.

In Support of The Company

There are a few other points of interest, which help to convey the genuine intent behind the Neuropathy Treatment Group.

• Customer service by phone. Call the NTG’s customer service hotline for help, advice, or information. Customer service is managed directly, in the company’s Idaho-based headquarters. It is not outsourced; the knowledgeable office staff will be able to answer product-related questions, and to help a customer out with any issues they might be having.
• More than 100 positive reviews. The Neuropathy Treatment Group’s website features more than 100 reviews from delighted customers, many of whom had suffered with symptoms of peripheral neuropathy for years.
• Additional positive response. The company has more than 50,000 social media followers, and an extensive following elsewhere online.
• Helpful tips and advice on pain management. The NTG provides a blog filled with useful information to assist individuals who are suffering with peripheral neuropathy. They also offer a free eBook to advise about cooking healthy food for better nervous system support. Everything the NTG does is consistent with current trends in digital marketing, not a fly-by-night company.

In the US, many patients suffering from nerve pain or neuropathy are given some sort of prescription medication to ease their pain. While these medications do help reduce pain, they often have many side effects. Over in Europe, doctors have been taking a different approach to treating neuropathy.

Use of the supplement alpha lipoic acid is fairly common in Germany and other European countries. Clinical studies have shown that is effective for minimizing the pain and suffering of neuropathy. Learn more about the substance and its benefits for people with nerve pain.

What is Alpha Lipoic Acid?

Alpha lipoic acid, or ALA, is a type of antioxidant. According to the National Institutes of Health, antioxidants are substances that help prevent or delay damage to the body’s cells. Antioxidants can be man-made or naturally occurring.

ALA occurs naturally in the body. In fact, it’s found in every single cell of the human body. It helps the cells convert glucose, a type of sugar, into energy. During the process of turning glucose into energy, a number of waste products are created. They are known as free radicals.

ALA fights and destroys the free radicals. It can also help the body produce other antioxidants and replenish the supply of antioxidants as they are used up.

Usually, antioxidants are either water soluble or fat soluble. A water soluble antioxidant needs water to do its job correctly while a fat soluble antioxidant needs fat cells to properly function.

ALA stands apart from other antioxidants because it is both water and fat soluble. Its solubility allows it to work all over the body. It’s also one of the few antioxidants that can pass easily into the brain, providing benefit to those with nerve damage or other neurological issues.

How It Helps People With Neuropathy

One of the issues of treating neuropathy with medications such as antidepressants or anticonvulsants is that those medicines don’t actually treat the root problem. They ease the symptoms of neuropathy, but have no effect on the cause of the neuropathy.

Supplements like Nerve Renew that contain ALA not only help to reduce the symptoms of nerve damage. The ALA can also work to repair the damaged cells. People suffering from diabetic neuropathy often have considerable free radical damage to certain nerve cells. ALA goes after the free radicals, minimizing the damage caused to the nerves.

Studies Featuring ALA

A variety of clinical studies have been conducted concerning ALA. These studies look at the role ALA plays in reducing neuropathy, particularly in patients with diabetic neuropathy.

Several studies have been conducted in Germany, where ALA is approved for treating neuropathy when given in either an oral form or intravenously. In one study, 1,258 patients were given 600 milligrams of ALA through an IV for three weeks. The patients who received ALA noticed a remarkable improvement in their nerve pain and other symptoms after the three weeks.

Although intravenous ALA is much more effective for treating neuropathy, taking the supplement in pill form also benefits people. An additional German study featured 24 patients who had type 2 diabetes. The patients who took 1,800 mg of ALA in pill form for three weeks had a considerably greater improvement in their neuropathy symptoms versus patients who were given a placebo.

Another study involved 181 patients. The patients were given either 600 mg, 1,200mg or 1,800 mg of ALA daily for five weeks. The results showed that patients taking the 600 mg dose had similar results as those taking the 1,800 mg dose.

Yet another clinical study involving ALA featured more than 500 people with type 2 diabetes and neuropathy. Some people in the study received 600 mg of ALA intravenously for three weeks, then 1,800 mg of ALA in pill form for six months. Another group was given 600 mg of ALA intravenously for three weeks, followed by a placebo pill for six months. The third group received placebos both intravenously and in pill form throughout the study. Study participants who received intravenous ALA showed the greatest improvements in their sensory and motor nerve issues.

Forms of ALA

There is more than one form of alpha lipoic acid. S-ALA is the type most often used in supplements, although it does not naturally occur in nature. R-ALA is the variety produced in the human body, as well as in plants and animals.

On its own, R-ALA is unstable. It breaks down quickly at room temperature, making it difficult for the body to absorb unstabilized R-ALA from supplements. Although S-ALA is more stable, it is not easily absorbed by the body when taken in supplement form.

Stabilized R-ALA included in Nerve Renew is the most effective form of the antioxidant available in supplements. Stabilization not only makes ALA more durable and able to withstand higher temperatures, it also improves its efficiency. The body is better able to absorb and used stabilized R-ALA compared to S-ALA.

Where to Get ALA

There are several ways for a person to get ALA. It is synthesized by the body naturally and people without neuropathy are usually able to produce enough of it.

ALA is also found in a variety of foods. The three foods that contains the highest amounts of the antioxidant include liver, red meat and brewer’s yeast. It’s also found in high amounts in broccoli and spinach.

The antioxidant is also available in supplement form. Supplements often contain considerably more ALA than a person can get from diet or can produce naturally. Pills that contain ALA are available over-the-counter while injections of the antioxidant can be performed by a doctor. Nerve Renew contains stabilized R-ALA as one of the ingredients, offering 300 mg per two capsule dose.

Thousands of people have used ALA to get relief from the pain caused by neuropathy. If you haven’t had much success with medication or other treatments, it’s time to try a more natural approach. Studies and research back up the claim that ALA helps reduce neuropathy symptoms. It’s time for you to give it a try today.
