Is Nervecept a sciatic nerve pain supplement?
No. Nervecept is a dietary supplement, and its label says it is not intended to treat any disease.
Its glucosamine and chondroitin were studied in knee osteoarthritis, not sciatica. (NIH, GAIT Trial News Release)
What should you check before buying one?
Check the allergen line, your medicines and any surgery.
Nervecept contains shellfish (crayfish). Keep taking prescribed medicine as directed.
Blood thinners
Glucosamine and chondroitin have been linked to more bleeding risk, including with warfarin. Tell the prescriber. (NCCIH, Glucosamine and Chondroitin) (NCCIH, Using Supplements Wisely)
Diabetes medicines
Glucosamine may raise blood glucose in some people, so anyone who tracks blood sugar should tell their care team. (NCCIH, Glucosamine and Chondroitin) (NCCIH, Diabetes and Supplements)
Shellfish allergy
The label says CONTAINS: Shellfish (Crayfish). Shellfish is a major allergen under FDA labeling rules. (FDA, Food Allergies)
Surgery
List every supplement for your surgeon and anesthesia team ahead of time. (NCCIH, Using Supplements Wisely)
Turmeric and the liver
Liver injury has been reported with highly bioavailable curcumin products, and turmeric can upset the stomach. Root powder differs from those extracts. (NCCIH, Turmeric)
Bromelain and frankincense
The sources we checked list no doses or named drug interactions for bromelain, and little is known about frankincense in pregnancy. Ask your pharmacist. (NCCIH, Bromelain) (NCCIH, Boswellia)
