Hello all,

Thought this might be of interest to all who were asking about Neuragen.

Clinical research on the effect of Neuragen on neuropathic pain has been published in a peer-reviewed clinical publication.

The trial concluded:

"Neuragen provided significant relief from neuropathic pain in an all cause neuropathy group. Participants with diabetes within this group experienced similar pain relief."

The Neuragen publication is available online at biomedcentral:

Well, it MIGHT work for some people, but it DOESN'T work for others. It did NOTHING for my husband, and last week we went to the Peripheral Neuropathy support group meeting in NYC and all of us share what we have used for our pain.

One guy stood up and said: 'I tried this Neuragen stuff, and IT DID NOTHING".

So what works for some doesn't do the trick for others.

Yes, according to the clinical paper, it was effective for about 80% of the people who were in the trial. So I guess those who don't find it effective are in the other 20%. Still, 80% efficacy is better than many prescription products without the side effects. Certainly worked for those I know.

Cheers,

Silas.

The active ingredient is the geranium oil, which is available in larger amounts for much less money elsewhere. (iherb for example).

In fact the geranium oil has a patent, you can find on the net.

I find the number of patients in these reports rather low.

But if it works for you fine. I'll take a pass on it myself.

Sorry, but in the interest of having accurate information on the forum, I must correct what you have said regarding the active ingredients in Neuragen.

I've looked at the product label when my mother purchased Neuragen and I've also found a copy of the label on the Neuragen website neuragen.com/labels/neuragen-pn.php and the active ingredients are the homeopathic ingredients, not the oils. You are incorrect on this.

Also, the Neuragen literature that you have referenced appears to be very out of date (the product packaging on the website where you got this paper isn't even the one that's been on the market for the past couple of years). Neuragen actually has 5 homeopathic active ingredients not just one, as indicated in this old paper. This appears to be a really old paper on an old formulation of Neuragen that isn't on the market any longer. The current formulation of Neuragen can be seen on the label that I put the URL for above. If you want to see a summary of the current clinical results for the formulation of Neuragen that's on the market now, I've found it at: neuragen.com/pdf/Neuragen_Trials.pdf

Also, to say that the number of patients in the trial is 'low' is irrelevant as the results were double-blinded and statistically significant versus placebo and were published in a peer-reviewed journal, and that's all important, scientifically (my science background coming through there).

Just want to keep the info on this product that really helped my mother accurate and up-to-date.

Like you say, if Neuragen works for you, then great. They have a money back guarantee on Neuragen anyway, so no harm in trying it.

Cheers,

Silas.

So the old formula didn't work eh? This is the second go round?

Still has the geranium in it.

This is a link to explain homeopathy:

The 12C dilution?
Alot of money for this, IMO. So the readers here, beware.

And that paper was published on May 10 of this year. hmmmmm?

silas you know more about neuragen in its current and former forms, its history and its studies as well as guarantees than i know about anything i have ever taken. you are very passionate on this subject. ok to stop beating around the bush and to get right to the point i have the sneaking suspicion that you work for them.
