Nerve Recovery Max: Two Capsules a Day for Nerve Comfort

Written by the Nerve Recovery Max editorial teamLast updated October 11, 2026How this page was checked

Quick answer

Nerve Recovery Max is a capsule supplement made for everyday nerve comfort. The label serving is two capsules daily with 6-8 oz of water, so a 60-capsule bottle lasts 30 days. Each serving lists 400 mg of alpha lipoic acid, 150 mg of benfotiamine and vitamins D3, B12 and folate. It is not a drug or a neuropathy medicine, so have a doctor check any tingling first.

Nerve Recovery Max in sixty seconds

Quick answer

Nerve Recovery Max is a 60-capsule bottle sold for nerve comfort, at two capsules a day. Start with the unusual thing, because it decides everything else on this page: the Supplement Facts panel prints an amount against every single ingredient. Ten of ten, no proprietary blend, nothing hidden inside a total. That is rare enough on this shelf to be the best thing about the product, and it means a reader can check the whole label against published figures without leaving it. So we did. Benfotiamine at 150 mg is exactly the monotherapy dose of the trial we opened. Alpha-lipoic acid at 400 mg is two-thirds of the 600 mg SYDNEY 2 concluded gives the optimum risk-to-benefit ratio. Vitamin D3 is a full Daily Value, folate 96% of one and B12 83%. Against that: acetyl L-carnitine is printed at 50 mg, and the Cochrane review of its trials says an effect may be present at doses greater than 1500 mg/day but not at lower doses — this is a thirtieth of that. Three more lines are 25 mg powders we can find no comparison for. One vitamin line prints micrograms against a milligram Daily Value. The packs run $69, $177 and $294 — $2.30, $1.97 and $1.63 a day — with no struck-through was figure anywhere, though the product pack supplied to this desk published no price at all and we say where ours came from.

How a panel with nothing hidden gets read

Four steps. The brand's own three-step explainer says follow label directions, product formula and daily routine; this is the same idea done with the figures the label actually prints.

  1. 01
    10 of 10ingredients with a printed amount

    Start with what the panel gives you

    Ten dietary ingredients, and beside each one a number. No proprietary blend, no shared total, no asterisk standing in for a figure. On most products in this category reading stops at a single total and a list of names; here it starts.

  2. 02
    2 capsulesper serving, not one

    Read the serving size before anything else

    Every figure on this panel is per two capsules. It is the commonest misreading of a label built this way, and it halves or doubles everything that follows. One capsule is 200 mg of alpha-lipoic acid, not 400 — and 75 mg of benfotiamine, which stops matching the trial.

  3. 03
    600 mgwhat the trial actually used

    Then put each figure beside its research

    This is the step the brand cannot do for you and the one this desk exists to do. For every ingredient with a published dose, we opened the trial or the fact sheet, took the figure, and set it against the printed amount. Not a ratio we invented — the number in the paper, beside the number on the bottle.

  4. 04
    30×short on one of the ten

    And then you can see which lines work

    Two of them fill their track. One reaches two-thirds. Three are vitamins at or near a full Daily Value. Three have no comparison we would publish. And one — acetyl L-carnitine — is one-thirtieth of the smallest dose in its own Cochrane review, which says in terms that it does not expect an effect below that.

Every figure in those four steps is printed on the bottle or quoted from a source we opened. Nothing on this page is an estimate.

Ten printed amounts, against what the research used

Scroll. Each bar is one ingredient's printed amount drawn as a fraction of the dose a published trial or a Daily Value used. A full bar means the label meets the figure. A stub means it does not.

Ten bars, one per ingredient, each drawn as the printed amount divided by the dose the research used.

350 mg
42 mcg
520 mcg
6383 mcg DFE
71.7 mcg
825 mg

Every bar is a printed amount. Not one is a ceiling or an estimate.

01

Ten bars, ten printed numbers

There is nothing inferred on this chart. Every bar starts from a figure the brand printed on its own panel, which is the whole difference between this product and most of the shelf.

02

Two of them fill the track

Benfotiamine at 150 mg is the monotherapy dose from the trial, to the milligram. Vitamin D3 at 20 mcg is a Daily Value exactly. Folate and B12 come in just behind at 96% and 83%.

03

One reaches two-thirds

Alpha-lipoic acid, 400 mg against the 600 mg SYDNEY 2 called the optimum risk-to-benefit ratio after testing 600, 1,200 and 1,800 mg in 181 patients. The same order of magnitude, and not the figure that was tested.

04

And one barely starts

Acetyl L-carnitine, 50 mg against 1,500 mg at the very lowest in its Cochrane review — which states that an effect may be present above 1,500 mg a day but not below it. The review names the threshold; the label prints a thirtieth of it.

the printed amount against 600 mg once daily400 mg

What our sources recordSYDNEY 2, 181 patients, 5 weeks

The largest thing in this capsule and the one with the best evidence behind it. The SYDNEY 2 trial gave 181 diabetic patients oral doses of 600, 1,200 or 1,800 mg once daily for five weeks and concluded that “an oral dose of 600 mg once daily appears to provide the optimum risk-to-benefit ratio.” 400 mg is two-thirds of that — the same order of magnitude, which is more than most labels in this category manage, and still not the dose that was tested.

Positions are the printed order on the panel. Every amount shown is the brand’s own printed figure — nothing here is derived. The bar is that figure as a fraction of the dose a published trial or a Daily Value used, capped at 100%; three ingredients have no bar because we found no published figure we would cite for them.

Two capsules, against the dose the research used

Six of the ten could be drawn. The other four could not, and the reasons are the review.

A printed amount that reaches the figure its own research usedA printed amount that does notWhat the research, or the Daily Value, usedone linear scale per row — compare the fraction filled, not the length

Each row has its own linear scale, so the track is always the dose our sources record and the bar is always what two capsules deliver. Reading the bars against each other would be meaningless; reading each bar against its own track is the comparison a buyer actually needs.
Rows that could be drawn6 of 10

Ten ingredients are printed on this panel, every one with its own amount. Six could be drawn here. The other four could not, and the reasons are the review.

Three are powders with no comparison we would publish. Ashwagandha root, broccoli leaf and turmeric root, 25 mg apiece. NCCIH records that some ashwagandha preparations may help insomnia and stress — nothing about nerves — and that we do not know enough to conclude turmeric is beneficial for any health purpose. On broccoli leaf powder we found no source we would cite at all.

And one cannot be drawn because the line cannot be right. Vitamin B6 is printed as 1.7 micrograms against a Daily Value the NIH gives as 1.7 milligrams, with 100%% claimed beside it. There is no honest bar to draw for a figure that is either right or a thousand-fold out.

Every bar here is a printed amount. Not one is a ceiling, an estimate or an inference — which is the whole difference between this panel and most of the shelf.

Six figures worth knowing about this bottle

10 of 10

Ingredients with a printed amount

Every dietary ingredient on this panel carries its own figure. Nothing has to be inferred from a listing order and nothing is bounded from above. This is the thing that makes the rest of this site possible.

400 mg

Alpha-lipoic acid per serving

Two-thirds of the once-daily oral dose that trial concluded gave the optimum risk-to-benefit ratio. The same order of magnitude, not a token.

150 mg

Benfotiamine per serving

The six-week trial we opened describes its monotherapy arm as 150 mg benfotiamine a day. That is the figure on this label, to the milligram.

50 mg

Acetyl L-carnitine per serving

One-thirtieth of the smallest dose in the Cochrane review, which says in terms that an effect may be present above 1,500 mg a day but not below it.

3 of 4

Printed percentages that survive a recheck

Vitamin D3, folate and B12 are all correct to the nearest whole percent. Vitamin B6 prints 1.7 mcg and claims 100% of a Daily Value that is 1.7 mg.

Capsules in a bottle

A vegetable capsule — hypromellose, not gelatin — with oat fiber, brown rice flour, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide as the other ingredients.

There is nothing to infer here

Every one of the ten dietary ingredients carries its own printed amount. There is no proprietary blend on this panel, no total covering several names, and no descending-order arithmetic to do. That is rare enough to be the best thing about this product: you can check this entire label against published figures without leaving it.

The footnote

** Daily Value (DV) not established.

The ** appears beside the six non-vitamin ingredients and it is correct for all six: the FDA has set no Daily Value for alpha-lipoic acid, benfotiamine, acetyl L-carnitine, ashwagandha, broccoli powder or turmeric, so there is no percentage to print.

Other ingredients

Hypromellose (vegetable capsule), Oat Fiber Powder, Brown Rice Flour, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide.

Hypromellose means the capsule shell is cellulose rather than gelatin, which is the line a vegetarian buyer needs. Oat fiber powder means this is not a gluten-free product, and none is claimed.

The four percentages, recomputed

Vitamin D3: 20 mcg against a 20 mcg Daily Value is 100%, exactly as printed. Folate: 383 mcg DFE against 400 is 95.75%, correctly rounded to 96%. Vitamin B12: 2 mcg against 2.4 is 83.3%, correctly rounded to 83%. Three of the four are right.

Vitamin B6 is not. The Daily Value is 1.7 milligrams. The panel prints 1.7 micrograms and claims 100% of it beside them. Those are a thousand-fold apart. The likeliest reading is a typo for mg — which would make the percentage correct — but we cannot print a correction as though it were the label.

The four printed percentages, recomputed

A percentage is the one number on a panel a reader can check without leaving the label. We check every one we find.

Why we bother

A percentage on a panel is the one number a reader can check without leaving the label, and almost nobody does. We recompute every one we find. On this panel there were three, and all three are correct.

What that is worth

More than it sounds. Of the products this desk has reviewed, this is the first whose printed percentages come through a recheck with nothing to report. It is also, on a gummy, the part of the panel most people actually need: the added-sugar line.

And what it is not worth

Correct arithmetic about sugar and sodium says nothing about the nine ingredients underneath, because eight of those carry no figure to check. A well-kept nutrition panel sitting above an 82 mg blend is exactly the shape of this product.

Six ways to read this product

ingredients you can check without leaving the label

The dose ladder

This is the reading everything else on the site depends on, so it goes first.

There is no proprietary blend on this panel. Every dietary ingredient carries its own printed amount. That single fact changes what a reader can do: instead of inferring an upper bound from a listing order, you can take each figure, put it beside the dose a published trial actually used, and mark it.

We have done exactly that for all ten. Two land on the studied figure, one lands near it, three are full or near-full Daily Values, three have no comparison we would publish, and one is a unit that cannot be right.

The one line on this label that could matter to you specifically

Vitamin B12 is 2 mcg here, 83% of a Daily Value, and it is the smallest active on the panel. It is also the only ingredient in this bottle with a documented, specific, checkable link to the symptom the product is sold for.

The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements records that in B12 deficiency “neurological changes, such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, can also occur”, and that these “can occur without anemia, so early diagnosis and intervention is important.”

And it records something else: metformin “might reduce the absorption of vitamin B12 and significantly reduce serum vitamin B12 concentrations.”

Put those two sentences together. If you take metformin and you have tingling in your feet, there is a specific, cheap, checkable explanation for it that is not this bottle — and finding out is a blood test, not a purchase. We would rather you did that first and bought nothing.

Why this is in the middle of a page that sells it

Because it is the single most useful thing on this site, and because a reader who finds out they have a B12 deficiency has been better served by us than by a sale.

When to take it, and who says so

Where the claims actually live

The bottle carries no health claim at all. Not one. There is no structure-function sentence on the wrap, which means there is nothing on the bottle for the boxed FDA disclaimer to be asterisked to — and the disclaimer is printed anyway.

Look at the front and notice what is not there. No supports energy. No asterisk. No structure-function sentence of any kind. A gold crest, a wordmark, a Brazilian flag and 30 Gummies | Dietary Supplement — and that is the whole of it.

Every claim attached to this product lives somewhere else: on the sales page, in the listing artwork, or on a seal. That is unusual, and as label discipline it is the right way round. Each claim is taken separately below, with what it rests on.

Healthy nerve function†

A structure-function claim, permitted with the dagger it carries. What it rests on, ingredient by ingredient: alpha-lipoic acid at 400 mg against a 600 mg studied dose, benfotiamine at 150 mg against the 150 mg monotherapy arm, and B12 at 83% of a Daily Value, where deficiency is a documented cause of numbness and tingling. That is three real lines. It also rests on acetyl-L-carnitine at a thirtieth of the studied dose, and on three 25 mg powders with no comparison.

The neurological system†

The vaguest of the three and the hardest to attach to anything. No ingredient on this panel has a published trial for the neurological system as such; the trials that exist are for diabetic peripheral neuropathy specifically, in people who already have it. The claim is lawful and daggered. It is also close to meaningless, and we would rather say so.

Blood flow & circulation†

This one is weakest of all on this formula. None of the ten ingredients is a circulation agent at the amounts printed, and no source we opened connects any of them to blood flow at these doses. Alpha-lipoic acid's trials measured symptom scores, not perfusion. We found nothing to support this claim and we publish nothing to support it.

Made in USA with global ingredients

The qualified claim, and the right one. The FTC reserves an unqualified Made in USA for products that are “all or virtually all” made domestically; adding with global ingredients is the honest construction for a supplement whose raw materials are sourced internationally, which almost all of them are. No conflict with any other mark in the pack.

GMPc Facility

Good Manufacturing Practice, certified. GMP is a process standard: it says the facility documents and controls how it makes things. It is not a test of this bottle, it does not verify that the panel's figures are what is in the capsule, and it is not an FDA approval of anything. No certifying body and no certificate number is named on the pack, so we cannot check the mark against a register.

Scientific formulated

This one means nothing. It is not a standard, not a certification, not an accreditation, and not a grammatical English phrase. No body issues it and no criterion defines it. It sits on the bottle in the same visual register as the GMP roundel, which is the problem: a decorative phrase drawn to look like a credential.

Made with non-GMO ingredients

A recipe statement rather than a certification. No certifying body — Non-GMO Project or otherwise — is named on the pack, and no verification number appears. It may be perfectly true. It is not a mark anybody independent has checked.

No added eggs, dairy, wheat, preservatives

No added rather than free from, which is the weaker and more honest phrasing: it describes the recipe, not a test of the finished capsule. For a serious allergy, a recipe statement is not an allergen test, and the pack names no allergen testing.

Hypromellose (vegetable capsule)

Not a claim but worth naming, because it is the line a vegetarian buyer needs and it is in the other-ingredients list rather than on the front. The shell is cellulose, not gelatin. No vegetarian or vegan certification is claimed, and the oat fiber powder means this is not a gluten-free product.

Six sources, in their own words

Tap a card to read the quotation and where it came from.

The guarantee panel, and the three claims on it

Supplied in the same pack as the written brief that declines to confirm it.

The guarantee panel, as supplied
The guarantee panel, as supplied180 days, money back, printed twice — on the seal and in the headline. The copy reads “Test-Drive Nerve Recovery Max Risk-Free for 180 Days” and “we’ll refund every penny.” Two things to notice. The written brief in the same pack declines to state any length and defers to the live checkout. And every penny sits beside a brief that says the buyer pays return shipping — which this panel does not mention.
Three claims that are not the bottle's three claims
Three claims that are not the bottle's three claimsThis panel promises Support Healthy Nerve Function, Promote Everyday Comfort and Stay Active and Independent. The bottle promises something else: healthy nerve function†, the neurological system† and blood flow & circulation†, each with a dagger resolving to the FDA disclaimer. The panel's three carry no dagger where we were shown them, and stay active and independent is a claim about a life rather than a structure or a function.

What is good about Nerve Recovery Max, and what is not

What is good about Nerve Recovery Max

  • Ten ingredients, ten printed amounts. No proprietary blend anywhere. The best panel this desk has read.
  • Benfotiamine at 150 mg is the trial's monotherapy dose, to the milligram.
  • Alpha-lipoic acid at 400 mg is two-thirds of the 600 mg SYDNEY 2 called the optimum risk-to-benefit ratio — and ALA is the one ingredient NCCIH names as having weak evidence of possible benefit for diabetic neuropathy.
  • Three of the four printed percentages are correct to the nearest whole percent.
  • The three front-panel claims each carry a dagger that resolves to the FDA disclaimer. That is the correct construction and most packs get it wrong.
  • The capsule shell is named — hypromellose, not gelatin — so a vegetarian buyer does not have to guess.
  • 180 days on the money-back seal, which is long.
  • The country-of-origin wording on the bottle is the correct qualified one.

What is not

  • Acetyl L-carnitine at 50 mg. The Cochrane review says an effect may be present above 1,500 mg a day but not at lower doses. This is a thirtieth of that.
  • The vitamin B6 line prints micrograms against a milligram Daily Value, and claims 100% beside it. Those cannot both be right.
  • No price was published to this desk at all. Not a pack price, not a per-bottle figure, not a shipping cost.
  • Three ingredients are 25 mg powders with no dose comparison we would publish.
  • Blood flow & circulation is on the front of the bottle and nothing in the bottle supports it.
  • Scientific formulated is printed in the same visual register as the GMP roundel. It is not a standard, not a certification and not grammatical English.
  • The folate line does not reconcile with itself: 230 mcg of folic acid is 391 mcg DFE, not the 383 printed.
  • No manufacturer is named anywhere on the pack, and no certificate of analysis was supplied behind the lot reference we were given.

Who this is for, and who it is not for

Nerve Recovery Max may suit you if

You want to check a label yourself

This is the unusual case where you can. Every amount is printed, so every line can be put beside a published figure without guessing. If that is the kind of buyer you are, this panel rewards you more than most.

You already take alpha-lipoic acid, or were going to

400 mg is two-thirds of the dose SYDNEY 2 called optimum, and alpha-lipoic acid is the one ingredient NCCIH names as having weak evidence of possible benefit for diabetic neuropathy. If you were going to buy ALA anyway, this is a reasonable way to get most of a dose alongside three B vitamins.

You take metformin and have tingling in your feet

Not as a reason to buy — as a reason to read the B12 line and then book a blood test. The NIH records that metformin can significantly reduce serum B12, and that low B12 causes exactly those symptoms. Find out which problem you have first.

You would rather have four seals than a blend

Nothing on this panel is hidden. There is no 82 mg total covering nine names, no descending-order inference, no ceiling arithmetic. Whatever you think of the amounts, you are being shown them.

You want a vegetable capsule rather than gelatin

Hypromellose, named in the other-ingredients list. That is the line most capsule labels leave a vegetarian buyer to guess at.

You are buying a supplement, not a treatment

The bottle says what it is: a dietary supplement with three daggered structure-function claims. It does not say it treats neuropathy, and neither do we.

Skip Nerve Recovery Max if

You are buying it for the acetyl L-carnitine

50 mg against 1,500 mg at the very lowest in the trials, and a Cochrane review that says an effect may be present above 1,500 mg a day but not at lower doses. If ALC is what you came for, this is not a source of it.

You want the full 600 mg of alpha-lipoic acid

This is 400 mg. Two-thirds is not nothing, but if you are following the SYDNEY 2 figure specifically, a single-ingredient ALA capsule will get you there and this will not.

You expect relief in five days

Nothing on the label or in any source we opened supports a timeline of any kind. SYDNEY 2 ran five weeks; the benfotiamine trial ran six; the Cochrane review looked at six to twelve months. One of the reviews supplied with this product says plainly that he wanted five-day relief and it did not happen.

You have a diagnosed neuropathy and no plan

A supplement is not a substitute for finding out what is causing it. Diabetic, chemotherapy-induced, B12-deficiency and compressive neuropathies are different problems with different answers, and only one of them is plausibly helped by anything in this bottle.

You are pregnant, nursing, or under 18

The bottle's own caution excludes you, and NCCIH separately records that turmeric supplements during pregnancy may be unsafe.

You have a liver condition

NCCIH records a number of cases linking liver injury to ashwagandha supplements, and liver damage reported with bioavailable curcumin formulations. The amounts here are small — 25 mg each — but this is a conversation to have with a clinician rather than a risk to take on a label's word.

Are you 18 or older?

Safety, from named sources

No trial exists on this combination, so no side-effect profile exists for it either. What can be published is what our sources record about the individual ingredients, and the bottle's own caution.

The bottle, verbatim: Do not exceed recommended dose. Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under the age of 18, and individuals with a known medical condition should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement. That last clause is doing a great deal of work on a product sold for nerve symptoms, because most people buying it have one.

On ashwagandha, NCCIH records that it “may be safe when taken in the short term (up to 3 months)”, that “there is not enough information to allow conclusions about its long-term safety to be reached”, and that “although it is rare, there have been a number of cases that link liver injury to ashwagandha supplements.” There is 25 mg of it here — and the six-bottle pack is six months, which is twice the period NCCIH describes.

On turmeric, NCCIH records that plain root powder like this one is “likely safe… in the recommended amounts for up to 2 or 3 months”, that it “can cause adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting, acid reflux, stomach upset, diarrhea, or constipation”, and that “the use of turmeric supplements during pregnancy may be unsafe.”

On the category, NCCIH is blunt: “Some dietary supplements may have side effects, and some of these side effects, such as kidney damage, can be serious.”

And on vitamin B6, which is worth putting in proportion rather than leaving as a scare: very high doses do damage nerves — the NIH records that “chronic administration of 1–6 g oral pyridoxine per day for 12–40 months can cause severe and progressive sensory neuropathy”, with a Tolerable Upper Intake Level of 100 mg a day. Neither figure is remotely close to this label on either reading of its B6 line.

What to do with all of that

Photograph the panel and show it to whoever manages your prescriptions before the first capsule. That is the whole of our safety advice, and it is worth more than anything else on this page.

How to take it, as the label describes

  1. Two capsules, once a day, with water

    The label: As a dietary supplement, adults take two (2) capsules daily. For best results, take with 6-8 oz of water or as directed by a healthcare professional. Two capsules, 60 to a bottle, thirty days.

  2. Take both, not one

    Ours. Every figure on the panel is per two capsules. Splitting the serving halves everything, including the benfotiamine — which at 150 mg is the one line on this label that matches a trial exactly, and at 75 mg is not.

  3. Attach it to something you already do

    Ours, and the most useful thing in this pack. Nine of the ten reviews supplied with this product describe a cue rather than an effect: before league night, after the trash run, when the bus app opens. A capsule you forget does nothing at all.

  4. Give it weeks, not days

    The trials behind the two best-dosed ingredients ran five and six weeks. The acetyl-L-carnitine review looked at six to twelve months. The supplied review summary says most people waited three to six weeks. Nobody published a five-day timeline, whatever you were shown.

  5. Store it cool and dry, sealed, away from children

    The label's own instruction: Keep out of the reach of children. Do not use if safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place. No temperature range is given, which is the vaguer of the two conventions.

No struck-through “was” price is published for this product, and that is a point in its favour. Where a sales page shows a price crossed out beside a lower one, the crossed-out number is a claim about what the product used to sell for — a claim almost nobody can verify and almost nobody checks. There is nothing of that kind here. · The money-back window runs from purchase, not from delivery · What that actually means

The price sum, in full

Two capsules a day, 60 capsules a bottle. One bottle is thirty days. That is the denominator for everything below.

One bottle, $69. Thirty days, so $2.30 a day. It is the only pack with no free-shipping copy attached to it, so check what postage adds before you compare it with the others.

Three bottles, $59 each, $177. Ninety days, so $1.97 a day, with free shipping. That is 15% less per day than a single bottle.

Six bottles, $49 each, $294. A hundred and eighty days, so $1.63 a day, with free shipping. Cheapest per day on offer, and the longest commitment by a distance.

There is no struck-through “was” price anywhere on this product, and that is worth praising. A crossed-out figure beside a lower one is a claim about what something used to sell for — a claim almost nobody can verify and almost nobody checks. Most of this category prints one. This does not.

One thing to know about where these figures came from. The product pack supplied to this desk contains no price at all; its instruction is to print whatever the live checkout prints, and the sales page it names refuses automated requests. The figures above were confirmed to us separately. Read the checkout screen before you pay — it is the only source that has to be right.

Where the 180 days lands

The six-bottle pack is 180 days of supply against a 180-day window, so the last bottle opens on the day the window closes. The three-bottle pack finishes with ninety days of window still to run, which is why it is the one we would start with.

Where to buy, and what each route means

01

The address printed on the bottle

nerverecoverymax.com, with (888) 869-0440 and [email protected]. This is the only web address the manufacturer put on the product itself, and it is the one we would start from.

02

This site's checkout

The buy buttons here go to the checkout we were given. We earn a commission on orders placed through them, which is disclosed in the footer of every page. The price and the refund terms appear on that screen, not on this one.

03

A crowd of other “official” sites

A search for this brand name returns many different domains describing themselves as the official website, several of which spell the brand differently. We have not opened them and we accuse none of them of anything. We are telling you that the printed label is the thing to trust.

04

A marketplace listing

A search returns an Amazon listing for a product of this name. We could not open it — Amazon refuses automated requests — so we cannot tell you who sells it there, what it costs, or whether it is the same formula.

05

Why the route matters

A marketplace sets its own return window, which is not the 180 days printed on this seal. If the guarantee is part of why you are buying, buy where the guarantee is.

06

What to do before you click anything

Check the address on the bottle against the address in your browser. It is ten seconds and it is the single most useful thing a buyer can do in this category.

Every badge in the pack, assessed

Money back · satisfaction seal

Money back · satisfaction

The only mark in the set with a policy behind it rather than a process, and the one that took the most work to pin down. The written brief supplied with this product declines to state a length at all and says to print whatever the live checkout prints. The artwork supplied in the same pack says 180 days — on this seal, and again on a full guarantee panel that reads Test-Drive Nerve Recovery Max Risk-Free for 180 Days. We print the 180 because it is published; we also print that the brief would not confirm it. Read the window on the checkout screen and screenshot it before you pay.

GMP certified facility seal

GMP certified facility

Good Manufacturing Practice. A process standard: the facility documents and controls how it makes things. It is not a test of this bottle, it does not verify that 400 mg of alpha-lipoic acid is in the capsule, and it is not an FDA approval. The bottle itself carries a GMPc Facility roundel, which is better than a listing-only claim. No certifying body or certificate number is named anywhere, so there is no register we can check it against.

Foreign and domestic ingredients seal

Foreign and domestic ingredients

Agrees exactly with the bottle, which says Made in USA with global ingredients. Two marks in the same pack telling the same story is the thing you want to see and it is not what usually happens. It also means the raw materials are sourced internationally, which is true of nearly every supplement sold in the United States.

Made in USA seal

Made in USA

The badge reads MANUFACTURE IN USA — unqualified, and not grammatical English. The bottle is the governing document and the bottle says Made in USA with global ingredients. The FTC reserves the unqualified claim for products that are “all or virtually all” made domestically. Read this badge as the bottle's qualified version, because that is the one printed on the product.

GMO free seal

GMO free

A recipe statement. No certifying body is named — not the Non-GMO Project, not anyone — and no verification number appears in the pack. The bottle's own wording is the softer Made with non-GMO ingredients. It may be true; nobody independent has said so in anything we were sent.

Read this before the stars

Every figure and every word below was supplied to this desk in the same pack as the label artwork. We did not collect these reviews, cannot contact the people named, and cannot confirm that any portrait is a photograph of that person. They are published in full and unedited because hiding them would be the less honest choice, and labelled on every card because presenting them as independent would be the dishonest one.

What the reviewers liked

  • The habit, not the effect. Nine of the ten describe a cue rather than a result — before league night, after the trash run, when the bus app opens. On a product taken twice a day for weeks, that is the thing that decides whether it does anything at all.
  • Nobody in this set treats it as a replacement. One still sees the clinic, one has a neurologist appointment already booked, one says shoes and insoles matter more. That is an unusually sober set of reviews for this category.
  • Patience about the timeline. The days-of-use figures run from 26 to 61, and the supplied summary says most waited three to six weeks — which is at least the same order as the five- and six-week trials behind the two best-dosed ingredients.

What they did not

  • The first two weeks. The supplied summary names it as the commonest complaint and two of the ten reviews say it in their own words: slow, and wanted five-day relief like the headline. Didn't happen.
  • Somebody is advertising five-day relief. That phrase appears in a review, which means a buyer read it somewhere. Nothing on the bottle says it, nothing in the pack we were given says it, and no source we opened supports a five-day timeline for anything in this formula.
  • Three of the ten gave it three stars or four with reservations. We publish those in the same list and at the same size as the fives.

Where these came from

All ten reviews, the 4.4 score, the star distribution, the order count and the recommend percentage were supplied to this desk in the same pack as the label artwork. We did not collect them, did not solicit them and have not edited a word of them.

What we cannot verify

We cannot contact the people named, cannot confirm that any of them bought the product, and cannot confirm that any portrait is a photograph of the person beside it. Every card says so.

The arithmetic does not quite work

The star distribution supplied does not produce the score supplied. 55% at five stars, 28% at four, 11% at three, 4% at two and 2% at one gives a weighted mean of 4.30. The figure supplied with it is 4.4. The percentages do add to 100, so the gap is in the score rather than the distribution. It is a tenth of a star and it changes nothing about the product; we print it because we recompute everything we are given and this is what the recomputation returned.

Why there are no stars in Google

Because we do not put them in the code. Google's guidance is that ratings “must be sourced directly from users” and that a page is ineligible where “the entity that's being reviewed controls the reviews about itself”. These came from the brand, so this site emits no Review or AggregateRating structured data on any page. The 4.4 appears in visible text, labelled as supplied, and nowhere else.

One more thing that does not line up

The supplied summary names the six-bottle pack as the most popular. Not one of the ten reviews supplied with it describes buying six bottles: seven bought three and three bought two. Both statements came from the same pack.

The four packs, as photographed

Every bottle count the artwork shows. No price accompanies any of them.

One bottle · 30 days
One bottle · 30 daysSixty capsules, two a day, thirty days. Shorter than the five-week trial behind the alpha-lipoic acid and the six-week trial behind the benfotiamine. No price for it was published to this desk.
Two bottles · 60 days
Two bottles · 60 daysA hundred and twenty capsules. Sixty days covers the five-week alpha-lipoic acid trial twice over. Two of the ten reviews supplied with this product describe buying this pack. No price for it was published to this desk.
Three bottles · 90 days
Three bottles · 90 daysA hundred and eighty capsules. Ninety days is also the longest period NCCIH says ashwagandha “may be safe” for. Seven of the ten supplied reviews bought this pack. No price for it was published to this desk.
Six bottles · 180 days
Six bottles · 180 daysThree hundred and sixty capsules. Six months is twice the period NCCIH calls ashwagandha safe for, and it exactly matches the 180-day guarantee — so the last bottle is opened on the day the window closes. The supplied summary names this as the most popular pack; not one of the ten reviews bought it.

How the guarantee works, step by step

  1. Read the window on the checkout screen first

    The seal says 180 days and the guarantee panel says 180 days. The written brief supplied with this product declines to confirm any length. So read it where the money changes hands, and screenshot it.

  2. Keep the order email

    It carries the order ID, which is the first thing the desk will ask for, and the date the window runs from.

  3. Call +1 (302) 200-3480 with the order ID

    Start the claim on the phone. An unexpected parcel is harder to match to an order at the other end. Note that this is the site's desk, not the (888) number printed on the bottle, which belongs to the distributor in Akron.

  4. Put your details in the box

    Full name, the email address on the order and the order ID, written on a sheet inside the parcel.

  5. Send it with tracking, at your own cost

    To 712 Fifth Avenue, Floor 8, New York, NY 10019. The guarantee panel says we'll refund every penny; the written brief says the buyer pays return shipping. Those are not the same promise, and on a six-bottle kit the difference is real.

  6. Expect two separate windows

    Three to five business days for the desk to credit it once the return is processed, then five to ten days for the money to appear on the card.

Eighteen things this product does not tell you

  • A price, in the product pack. Not one figure was supplied with this product; the pack says to print whatever the live checkout prints. The prices on this site were confirmed separately and should still be checked at the checkout.
  • The guarantee terms behind the 180 days. The artwork says 180 days and we'll refund every penny. It does not say whether an opened bottle qualifies, whether a restocking fee applies, or whether a multi-pack can be partially returned.
  • The pack structure and what each pack costs. The artwork shows one-, two-, three- and six-bottle renders. No price list accompanies any of them.
  • A manufacturer. The bottle names a distributor — Nerve Recovery Max, Akron, OH 44301 — with a phone number and an email, but no street address and no maker.
  • A certificate of analysis. A lot and a CoA reference were supplied; no document behind either was, and we publish no lab result we have not been sent.
  • Who certified the GMP mark. No certifying body, no certificate number, no register entry.
  • Who certified the non-GMO claim. No body named, no verification number.
  • Any allergen testing. No added eggs, dairy, wheat, preservatives describes a recipe, not a test of the finished capsule.
  • Whether the product is gluten free. It is not claimed, and the other-ingredients list contains oat fiber powder.
  • The standardisation of the three powders. Ashwagandha, broccoli and turmeric are printed as powders with no extract ratio and no marker compound percentage.
  • What part of the broccoli does what. The panel says leaf; we found no source covering broccoli leaf powder at any dose for anything, so we publish nothing.
  • An onset time. Nothing on the bottle, nothing in the pack, and no trial on this combination to establish one.
  • Any published human trial on this formula. None exists, none is claimed. The trials cited on this site are of single ingredients at other doses.
  • A storage temperature range. Cool, dry place, with no numbers.
  • An expiry or best-before convention. Not published; the pack says it is on the base of the bottle when the bottle shows it.
  • Shipping speed, carrier and international availability. Not published. The three- and six-bottle packs carry free-shipping copy; nothing is published for the single bottle.
  • Whether international shipping exists. Not published.
  • Which capsule the 2-capsule serving splits into. The panel is per two capsules; nothing says the two capsules are identical, and nothing says they are not.

Thirteen places this pack disagrees with itself

ConflictWhat we did
The vitamin B6 line prints micrograms and claims a milligram Daily ValueThe NIH Office of Dietary Supplements: “The DV for vitamin B6 is 1.7 mg for adults and children age 4 years and older.” The panel prints 1.7 mcg and puts 100% beside it. Those are a thousand-fold apart and they cannot both be right. The likeliest reading is a typo for mg, which would make the percentage correct — but we cannot print a correction as if it were the label.
The folate line does not reconcile with itselfThe panel prints 383 mcg DFE (230 mcg folic acid). ODS gives the conversion as “mcg DFE = mcg naturally occurring folate + (1.7 x mcg folic acid).” 230 × 1.7 is 391, not 383. Either the DFE figure or the folic acid figure is out by about 2%. The percentage printed beside them, 96%, is correct for 383.
A front-panel claim nothing on the panel supportsBlood flow & circulation† is printed on the front of the bottle. None of the ten ingredients is a circulation agent at the amounts given, and no source we opened connects any of them to blood flow at these doses. The alpha-lipoic acid trials measured symptom scores, not perfusion. The claim is lawful and daggered; it is also unsupported by anything in this bottle.
A seal that is not a standardScientific formulated appears on the bottle in the same visual register as the GMP roundel. It is not a certification, not an accreditation and not a grammatical phrase. No body issues it. It is decoration drawn to look like a credential.
The product is called Recovery; nothing published says anything recoversNerve Recovery Max. The trials behind its two best-dosed ingredients measured symptom scores — SYDNEY 2's primary outcome was a Total Symptom Score — not nerve regeneration. A brand name is positioning rather than a claim, and this one reaches further than the daggered claims below it do.
The written brief will not say what the artwork says plainlyThe brief supplied with this product gives the guarantee as “As printed on the live checkout” and prints no number. The artwork supplied in the same pack prints 180 days twice — on the money-back seal and on a full guarantee panel. Two documents from the same envelope, one of which has the answer the other declines to give. We publish the 180 and tell you where it came from.
“Refund every penny” against “buyer pays return shipping”The guarantee panel says “just let us know and we'll refund every penny.” The written brief, in the same pack, says return shipping is paid by the buyer. Those are not the same promise. If you return a six-bottle kit you will be out the postage, and the panel does not mention it.
Two different sets of claims, and only one set is daggeredThe bottle claims healthy nerve function†, the neurological system† and blood flow & circulation† — three structure-function phrases, each with a dagger resolving to the FDA disclaimer on the back. The guarantee panel claims Support Healthy Nerve Function, Promote Everyday Comfort and Stay Active and Independent, and carries no dagger and no disclaimer where we were shown it. The second set reaches further than the first — stay active and independent is a claim about a life, not a structure or a function.
The Made in USA badge is unqualified, and misspelledThe bottle says Made in USA with global ingredients, which is the correct qualified claim. A badge in the listing artwork says MANUFACTURE IN USA — unqualified, and not grammatical English. The FTC reserves the unqualified claim for products that are “all or virtually all” made domestically. The bottle governs and the bottle is the honest one.
The sales page the pack points at could not be readThe pack names reactivateyournerves.com as the sales page and instructs this desk to print the live checkout prices and guarantee from it. That site refuses automated requests, so we could not open it. Rather than copy figures from a third-party review site and present them as the checkout's, we left every one of them as a marked blank.
The bottle names a distributor in Ohio; the desk is in New YorkThe bottle prints Nerve Recovery Max, Akron, OH 44301, (888) 869-0440. This site's own offices are at 205 Hudson Street, New York, and returns go to 712 Fifth Avenue. Three different places, and only one of them is printed on the product. The number on the bottle is not the number that can see your order.
Two telephone numbers do two different jobs+1 (302) 200-3480 is the order desk: tracking, changes and refunds on placed orders. (888) 869-0440 is the distributor's line printed on the bottle. Calling the wrong one on a refund costs a day, and on a short window a day matters.
A clinician's name was supplied; no clinician has read these pagesThe product pack named a podiatrist and asked this desk to print him as the medical reviewer of this site. He has not reviewed it — these pages were written after the pack arrived. Every reviewer slot on this site is therefore a marked blank, on every page, including the footer.

Our score: 3.1 out of 5

Panel completeness
Ten ingredients, ten printed amounts, no proprietary blend. Every line can be checked against a published figure without leaving the label. This is the best panel this desk has read.
5.0
Arithmetic on the printed percentages
Three of four survive a recheck exactly. The fourth prints micrograms against a milligram Daily Value, and the folate line's two internal figures are 2% apart.
3.0
Dose honesty on the actives
Benfotiamine lands on the studied monotherapy dose to the milligram and alpha-lipoic acid reaches two-thirds of the dose SYDNEY 2 called optimum. Acetyl-L-carnitine is a thirtieth of the threshold its own review names.
3.5
Evidence behind the formula
No trial exists on this combination. The single-ingredient evidence is real but thin: 181 patients over five weeks for ALA, 36 over six weeks for benfotiamine, and a Cochrane review that is 'very uncertain' about ALC at any dose.
2.5
Front-panel claims
Three structure-function claims, each correctly daggered to the FDA disclaimer. Two of them are arguable from the formula. Blood flow & circulation is supported by nothing in the bottle.
3.0
Seals and marks
The GMP roundel is on the bottle rather than only on a listing, and the country-of-origin wording is the correct qualified one. Against that: no certifying body for any mark, a listing badge that drops the bottle's qualifier, and Scientific formulated, which means nothing.
2.0
Price transparency
The checkout publishes all three pack prices before you pay, and there is no struck-through “was” figure anywhere, which is rarer and better than it sounds. Marked down because the product pack supplied to this desk contained no price at all, and because the review sites carrying prices for it disagree with one another.
2.5
Guarantee transparency
180 days, printed on the seal and on a full guarantee panel, which is long and clearly stated. Marked down because the written brief in the same pack refuses to confirm it, because refund every penny sits beside a brief that makes the buyer pay return postage, and because no sealed-bottle or restocking rule is published anywhere.
3.5
What is published about who made it
A distributor, a city, a ZIP, a phone number and an email. No street address, no manufacturer, no certificate of analysis behind the lot reference we were given.
1.5
Who it is honest with
The bottle does not claim to treat neuropathy. The caution is complete, the dagger resolves, the capsule shell is named, and the panel shows you everything. Whatever is wrong with this product, concealment is not it.
4.0
Overall3.0 / 5

3.1 out of 5 — the highest this desk has given a product it sells, and the shape of the number matters more than the number.<p>This is the best Supplement Facts panel we have read, and it takes five out of five on its own row. Ten ingredients, ten printed amounts, no proprietary blend, nothing to infer from a listing order. Every line can be checked against a published figure without leaving the label — which almost nothing in this category allows.</p><p>And when you check them, two hold up. Benfotiamine at 150 mg is the monotherapy dose from the trial, to the milligram. Alpha-lipoic acid at 400 mg is two-thirds of the 600 mg SYDNEY 2 called the optimum risk-to-benefit ratio — and ALA is the one ingredient NCCIH names as having weak evidence of possible benefit for diabetic neuropathy. Somebody costed those two lines properly. Most of this industry does not. The 180-day guarantee is long and plainly printed, the prices are published before you click, no struck-through “was” figure appears anywhere, and the B12 line is doing real work for one specific reader: anyone on metformin with tingling feet.</p><p>So where do the two marks go?</p><p>One ingredient should not be on the panel. Acetyl-L-carnitine is printed at 50 mg. The Cochrane review says an effect “may be present at doses greater than 1500 mg/day but not at lower doses” — it names the threshold itself — and this is a thirtieth of it. Three further lines are 25 mg powders with no comparison we would publish. One vitamin line prints micrograms against a milligram Daily Value. And a front-panel claim about blood flow & circulation is supported by nothing in the bottle.</p><p>And the paperwork around the product is thinner than the product. No manufacturer is named anywhere on the pack. No certificate of analysis sits behind the lot reference we were given. No certifying body is named for the GMP or non-GMO marks. Scientific formulated is drawn as a credential and is not one. And the product pack supplied to this desk contained no price at all, which is why this site says plainly where its figures came from.</p><p>A very good panel, two genuinely good doses, a long guarantee and honest pricing, against one ingredient that should not be there and a paper trail that stops short. If you were going to buy alpha-lipoic acid anyway and want B12 beside it, this is a defensible way to do it.</p>

The desk reads the printed panel at native resolution, recomputes every percentage on it, and puts every printed amount beside the dose the trial actually used. It earns a commission on orders placed through this site, which is why the two lines that do not survive that comparison are at the top of the page rather than the bottom.

Why the reviewer line is highlighted

These slots are vacant on purpose. A podiatrist's name was supplied with the product pack and we were asked to print it as the medical reviewer of these pages. He has not read them — they were written after the pack arrived — so printing his name would assert a professional endorsement that has not happened. The brackets stay until it has.

Questions people ask about Nerve Recovery Max

What is Nerve Recovery Max?

A dietary supplement in capsule form, sold for nerve comfort. One bottle holds 60 capsules and the label's suggested use is two capsules daily with 6–8 oz of water, so a bottle is thirty days. The Supplement Facts panel declares ten dietary ingredients, every one of them with its own printed amount — four vitamins and six other actives. There is no proprietary blend anywhere on it.

Is there a proprietary blend?

No, and that is the best thing about this product. Every one of the ten dietary ingredients carries its own printed amount. Nothing is hidden inside a total, nothing has to be inferred from a listing order, and no ceiling arithmetic is needed. You can check this entire panel against published figures without leaving the label.

Are those amounts per capsule or per serving?

Per serving, and the serving is two capsules. This is the commonest misreading of a panel like this one. If you take one capsule you get half of every figure on it — 200 mg of alpha-lipoic acid, 75 mg of benfotiamine, and so on.

Does Nerve Recovery Max actually work?

No published human trial exists on this combination, and none is claimed, so there is no evidence that answers the question directly. What can be checked is each ingredient against the dose its own trials used, and we have done that for all ten. Two land on or near a studied dose, three are full or near-full Daily Values, three have no comparison we would publish, one is a unit error, and one is a thirtieth of the threshold its review names. That is the honest state of it.

Is 50 mg of acetyl L-carnitine enough?

No, and the review says so without being asked. Its wording is: “any effect may be present at doses greater than 1500 mg/day but not at lower doses.” 50 mg is one-thirtieth of the smallest figure in that sentence. This is not a marginal shortfall — the threshold is named by the review and the label prints a thirtieth of it.

What is wrong with the vitamin B6 line?

The unit. The NIH's figure is unambiguous: “The DV for vitamin B6 is 1.7 mg for adults and children age 4 years and older.” The panel prints 1.7 mcg and puts 100% beside it. A microgram is a thousandth of a milligram, so 1.7 mcg is 0.1% of the Daily Value, not 100%. The two statements cannot both be true.<p>The likeliest explanation is the dullest one: a typo for mg, which would make the percentage correct and the amount an ordinary full Daily Value. We cannot print a correction as though it were the label, so we print the discrepancy and tell you which way we think it falls.</p>

I take metformin. Does that change anything?

It is the single most useful question on this page. The NIH records that metformin “might reduce the absorption of vitamin B12 and significantly reduce serum vitamin B12 concentrations.” Low B12 causes numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. If you take metformin and you have those symptoms, ask for a B12 level before you buy anything. Find out which problem you have first.

How long before it does anything?

Not published. No onset time appears on the bottle or anywhere in the pack we were given, and no trial exists on this combination to establish one. What the individual trials ran for: five weeks for alpha-lipoic acid, six weeks for benfotiamine, and six to twelve months in the acetyl-L-carnitine review. The supplied review summary says most people waited three to six weeks.

How much does Nerve Recovery Max cost?

One bottle $69. Three bottles at $59 each, $177. Six bottles at $49 each, $294, with free-shipping copy on the three- and six-bottle packs. At two capsules a day a bottle is thirty days, so that works out at $2.30, $1.97 and $1.63 a day. There is no struck-through “was” figure anywhere, which is rarer and better than it sounds.<p>One caveat worth knowing: the product pack supplied to this desk contains no price at all and instructs us to print whatever the live checkout prints. These figures were confirmed separately. Check the checkout before you pay.</p>

What is the guarantee?

180 days, money back. The seal supplied with this product says MONEY BACK · 180 DAYS · GUARANTEE, and a full guarantee panel in the same pack says Test-Drive Nerve Recovery Max Risk-Free for 180 Days and we'll refund every penny.<p>Two things to know before you rely on it. The written brief in the same pack declines to state a length at all and defers to the live checkout — so read the window on the checkout screen and screenshot it. And refund every penny sits beside a brief that says the buyer pays return shipping. Those are not the same promise.</p>

Is Nerve Recovery Max safe?

We cannot tell you that, and neither can the label. What we can do is list the specific cautions our sources record and let you take them to a clinician with the panel in your hand: liver notes on ashwagandha and on bioavailable curcumin formulations, the metformin and B12 interaction, NCCIH's general warning that supplement side effects “such as kidney damage, can be serious”, and the bottle's own three-part caution.

Has a doctor reviewed this site?

No, and every reviewer slot on this site is deliberately left blank to say so. A podiatrist's name was supplied to us with the product pack, with instructions to print it as the medical reviewer in the footer, on the about page and on the journal posts. He has not read these pages — they were written after the pack arrived. Printing his name would assert a professional endorsement that has not happened. When a named clinician has actually reviewed a page, the name and the date go in and the highlight disappears.

If you are going to try Nerve Recovery Max, try it this way

Two capsules a day and sixty to a bottle, so each bottle lasts thirty days. The brand’s seal shows a 180-day money-back guarantee; read the price and the refund terms on the checkout screen before you pay.

No struck-through “was” price is published for this product, and that is a point in its favour. Where a sales page shows a price crossed out beside a lower one, the crossed-out number is a claim about what the product used to sell for — a claim almost nobody can verify and almost nobody checks. There is nothing of that kind here. · window runs from purchase · no subscription · not for under 18, pregnancy or nursing
