We explored the effects of Vitamin B12 and alpha lipoic acid (ALA) on nerve recovery in a rat model of sciatic nerve injury.
Through a rigorous study design involving 40 rats divided into different treatment groups, we assessed functional recovery using various analyses.
Interestingly, while both treatments yielded positive results, ALA showed greater functional improvements compared to B12.
Overall, B12 was effective in enhancing myelination and reducing edema, highlighting its unique benefits alongside ALA’s advantages.

We explored the effectiveness of intramuscular Vitamin B12 for treating low back pain, particularly in those with mechanical sciatica. In a well-structured study involving 60 participants, patients received either Vitamin B12 or a placebo, and we measured pain and disability levels.
By the end of the study, those receiving Vitamin B12 showed a significant decrease in both pain and disability compared to the placebo group. Moreover, they relied less on pain relief medication, indicating that B12 could be a beneficial option for addressing persistent back pain.

We explored the impact of a novel dietary supplement on patients undergoing percutaneous laser disc decompression for lumbar disc herniation.
Patients were divided into two groups: one received just the laser treatment while the other added the supplement.
While both groups reported reduced pain levels post-surgery, the supplement group experienced slightly better outcomes.
Most patients using the supplement noted improved leg pain, with 66.5% reporting significant relief. However, it’s important to mention that the supplement's additional benefits weren’t groundbreaking compared to the laser treatment alone.

Pain relief achieved
29 people found this helpful
It has been 7 months since I began taking vitamin B12 for my sciatica, which was initially so severe that I couldn't walk. After 4 months, the pain had almost disappeared, and now I feel no pain at all. I used to suffer from this hernia-related pain every day for nearly two years. I still take it daily after meals, as it’s a small capsule that's easy to swallow. I highly recommend it for anyone dealing with nerve pain!

I have suffered from sciatica due to spinal stenosis for over six months. Over-the-counter medications did not help. Upon starting this supplement, my symptoms improved significantly. The numbness and pain in my calf have nearly gone, leading to a more positive mood. The cute pink capsules make me feel better every time I take one.

The mother suffers from sciatica, and I am grateful for the significant improvement and pain relief she's experienced. The package size is perfect, and the number of capsules is plentiful. The taste and smell are acceptable, and I find the effectiveness to be excellent and noticeable.

Vitamin B12 aids post-surgery recovery
We evaluated the effectiveness of a unique “cocktail treatment,” containing ropivacaine, dexamethasone, and vitamin B12, after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD). In our retrospective study at Hong-Hui Hospital, we compared results from 100 patients—50 received the treatment while the other 50 did not.
The findings indicated that this cocktail significantly improved both back and leg pain relief, as well as enhanced functional recovery for those who received it. While promising, we acknowledge the study's single-center design and lack of randomization as limitations.

Uncertain effectiveness
6 people found this helpful
I bought this twice for my husband, who had numbness in his hands and sciatica. He didn't finish it, but I noticed improvement in his symptoms over time. While I'm uncertain of its effects personally, I think it's a good supplement, especially for neurological symptoms, and it's inexpensive.

Improved condition noted
I decided to continue using this supplement after it seemed to help me more than the medication prescribed for my sciatica. I look forward to seeing continued improvement.
