Chronic patients are by their nature complex. 

And while they do not say it out loud, patients (and practitioners) want a silver bullet, but we know who those work for most of the time.

We talked about it here: 

So we need to treat complex, chronic patients at multiple levels. 

That is why TURMERIC PLUS has both PHYTOSOMAL Curcumin AND Boswellia in it. 

That is why META-BOOST has Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), AND Acetyl-L-Carnitine AND Supra-oxide Dismutase (SOD) in it. 

Meta-Boost was specifically designed to stabilse nerve firing thresholds. 

Turmeric PLUS is specifically for reducing inflammation, of which one consequence is a lowered pain threshold aka        un-unstable nerve firing thresholds. 

Combined, they work a treat.

Though I do also often also add in Liposomal B12 Hydroxocobalamin.

The reason is simple 👇

Check out this research that inspired our range of bespoke supplements. 

ALA plus Phytosomal Boswellia for MRI confirmed chroinc nerve root pain. 

NOTE: This is the ACTUAL Phytosomal Boswellia we have in our capsules – evidence based care at it best.

Now the design is a bit odd, bear with me. 

They tested ALA + Boswellia for 15 days, followed by 30 days of ALA only

Vs ALA + Boswellia for 10 days followed by 20 days of ALA only

Vs ALA only for 30 days.

Seems like a missed opportunity to test ALA + Boswellia for 30 days against others, but still. 

On the results below, ORANGE line is ALA + Boswellia for 15 days, followed by 30 days of ALA only. 

RED line is ALA + Boswellia for 10 days followed by 20 days of ALA only. 

BLUE line is ALA only. 

Note the angle of both ORANGE and RED are very steep in terms of pain reduction on the VAS until the point they drop the Boswellia at 15 and 10 days respectively. The the drop slows down but carries on with ALA alone. 

I know if I had chronic nerve pain I would be going all in and stacking multiple supplements at once.

Even ALA on its own worked well as you see above and check out below.

Chronic lumbar nerve pain again, both groups get pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) but group 2 also got 600 mg ALA (the dose in 4 META-BOOST)

Check the results of group 2 in green/yellow vs red 👇, especially Oswestry score at 3 and 6 months.

This stuff is powerful. 

I always give it as a 2-4 week trial, we are simply looking to move the needle. 

If something is happening carry on, if not, move on and try something else.
