01
Alpha-Lipoic AcidModerate
74% match
Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that reduces oxidative nerve stress and has its strongest evidence in neuropathic pain, with some study in radicular pain.
Suggested600 mg daily, taken on an empty stomach, sometimes combined with B12
02
MethylcobalaminLimited
68% match
Methylcobalamin (active B12) supports myelin maintenance and nerve repair and has been studied as an adjunct for peripheral and nerve root pain.
SuggestedSublingual or oral methylcobalamin, 1000 mcg daily
03
Turmeric/CurcuminLimited
62% match
Curcumin's anti inflammatory effects may help reduce inflammation around an irritated or compressed nerve root, but do not relieve mechanical compression.
SuggestedAbsorption enhanced curcumin (phytosome or with piperine) with food
04
Vitamin B1Limited
58% match
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is essential for nerve energy metabolism and is commonly combined with B12 and B6 in nerve support formulas, though sciatica specific evidence is limited.
SuggestedBenfotiamine (fat soluble thiamine), 100 to 300 mg daily
05
Magnesium GlycinateLimited
56% match
Magnesium modulates NMDA receptor activity and muscle tone and may help with the muscle spasm and nerve excitability that can accompany sciatica.
