Nerve Reborn Ingredients, Explained

A plain-English guide to every nutrient in the Nerve Reborn formula, why each form was chosen and what the research says.

By the Nerve Reborn Australia editorial team · Last updated

The formula at a glance

Benfotiamine (vitamin B1)

What it is: Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of thiamin (vitamin B1). The body needs thiamin to turn carbohydrates into energy, and nerve cells depend on it heavily.

Why this form: Studies show benfotiamine raises thiamin levels in the blood more than the same amount of standard thiamine hydrochloride.

What research says: Most research has looked at people with high blood sugar. Trial results are mixed and mostly small, so treat it as nutritional support, not a treatment. Source: NIH – Thiamin fact sheet

Food sources: Thiamin is found in whole grains, pork, legumes and fortified cereals. Benfotiamine itself is only available as a supplement.

Alpha-lipoic acid

What it is: Alpha-lipoic acid (also called thioctic acid) is an antioxidant your body makes in small amounts. It helps cells produce energy and recycles other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E.

Why this form: It's one of the most researched nutrients in nerve-support formulas.

What research says: Some European trials in people with diabetes-related nerve discomfort reported benefits, especially with intravenous doses. Results with tablets and capsules are more mixed. Source: Linus Pauling Institute – Lipoic acid

Food sources: Small amounts are found in spinach, broccoli, potatoes and organ meats. Food provides far less than supplements.

Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12)

What it is: Methylcobalamin is an active form of vitamin B12. B12 helps form myelin and red blood cells.

Why this form: It's a form the body can use directly. Cyanocobalamin, the cheaper common form, has to be converted first.

What research says: Low B12 is clearly linked to nerve problems. Low B12 is more common after 50, in vegans, and in people taking metformin or acid-reducing medicines long term. Source: NIH – Vitamin B12 fact sheet

Food sources: B12 is found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy, and in fortified plant milks.

Pyridoxine (vitamin B6)

What it is: Vitamin B6 is needed to make neurotransmitters, and it works alongside B1 and B12.

Why this form: Pyridoxine is the most widely studied form of B6.

What research says: Very high B6 intakes over a long time can themselves affect nerves. Don't double up with other B6 products without advice from a health professional. Source: NIH – Vitamin B6 fact sheet

Food sources: B6 is found in fish, poultry, potatoes, chickpeas and bananas.

Turmeric extract

What it is: Turmeric has been used in cooking and Ayurvedic tradition for centuries. Its main active compounds are curcuminoids.

Why this form: An extract gives a more consistent amount of curcuminoids than kitchen spice.

What research says: Curcumin has antioxidant properties in lab studies. Human evidence is still developing. Turmeric may interact with blood thinners. Source: NCCIH – Turmeric

Food sources: Turmeric is found in curries and golden milk, though food amounts are small.

Who it's for

Adults who want daily nutritional support for normal nerve function, especially people over 50.

Not a medicine

Nerve Reborn doesn't diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. If you have ongoing symptoms, see your GP.

Why these forms were chosen

Many vitamins come in several forms. Nerve Reborn uses forms chosen for how the body handles them:

  • Vitamin B1: benfotiamine (fat-soluble, well absorbed) rather than thiamine hydrochloride (water-soluble, standard)
  • Vitamin B12: methylcobalamin (an active form the body can use directly) rather than cyanocobalamin (a cheaper form the body has to convert first)
  • Vitamin B6: pyridoxine, the most widely studied form
  • Turmeric: a standardised extract rather than plain kitchen spice

Who should check with a doctor first

  • People taking diabetes medication, because alpha-lipoic acid may lower blood sugar
  • People on blood thinners, because of the turmeric
  • People already taking a B-complex or multivitamin, because of the total B6
  • Anyone pregnant, breastfeeding or with a thyroid, liver or kidney condition

Why these ingredients are combined

B1, B6 and B12 are often called the 'neurotropic' B vitamins because each plays a different role in the nervous system. Alpha-lipoic acid and turmeric add antioxidant support. Nerve Reborn brings them together in one daily serve of two capsules, so you don't need several separate bottles.

Nerve Reborn is made in a GMP-certified facility, and the ingredients are tested for purity. It's a dietary supplement, not a medicine, and it isn't intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
