Ingredients
Neuralisse ingredients: six names, one printed figure
Six ingredients are named on this label and not one of them carries a figure. One number printed above the blend is enough to settle the first of the six by chemistry and to squeeze the other five into a remainder of about seven and a half milligrams.
A Neuralisse capsule declares 80 mg of magnesium at 19% of the Daily Value above a 575 mg Proprietary Blend of six ingredients. Magnesium bisglycinate is 14.1% magnesium by weight, so 80 mg of the element needs about 567.5 mg of the chelate — 98.7% of the blend. Alpha lipoic acid, butcher’s broom, L-carnitine, turmeric and coenzyme Q10 share the remaining 7.5 mg. Four of the six have a federal fact sheet; two return nothing at either body this desk reads.
Magnesium Glycinate
Mg(C2H4NO2)2 · about 567.5 mg · position 1 of six · federal fact sheet: NIH Office of Dietary Supplements
This is the ingredient the whole label turns on, and it is the only one whose weight can be stated rather than bounded. The panel declares 80 mg of elemental magnesium and attributes it to the magnesium glycinate inside the blend. Magnesium bisglycinate has the formula Mg(C2H4NO2)2 and a molar mass of 172.42 g/mol, of which magnesium is 24.305 — 14.1% by weight.
Eighty milligrams of magnesium therefore needs about 567.5 mg of the chelate, which is 98.7% of the 575 mg blend.
Magnesium is also the one ingredient here with a federal file that speaks to nerves. NIH ODS records that magnesium helps move calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes, which is “important to nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction, and normal heart rhythm”, and that as deficiency worsens “numbness, tingling, muscle contractions and cramps, seizures” can occur. Read that carefully: it describes what happens when a person does not have enough, not what happens when a person who has enough takes more.
At 80 mg this is about 23% of the 350 mg Tolerable Upper Intake Level ODS sets for supplemental magnesium, so it sits comfortably below the level at which ODS records that high doses “often result in diarrhea”. Glycinate is also among the better tolerated forms. Both of those are points in the product’s favour.
“The DV for magnesium is 420 mg for adults and children age 4 years and older … The Tolerable Upper Intake Level for supplemental magnesium is 350 mg for adults … high doses of magnesium from dietary supplements or medications often result in diarrhea.”
NIH Office of Dietary Supplements — Magnesium: Fact Sheet for Health Professionals
Cautions and interactions
NIH ODS: high doses of supplemental magnesium “often result in diarrhea”. The Tolerable Upper Intake Level for supplemental magnesium is 350 mg for adults; this label carries 80 mg.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
no binomial; a compound · at most 7.5 mg · position 2 of six · no fact sheet at NCCIH or the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements
Second in the blend, so at most the whole remainder: about 7.5 mg. That is a ceiling, not an amount.
Alpha lipoic acid has no fact sheet at NCCIH’s Herbs at a Glance index and none at the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements. This site reads those two bodies and no others, so there is nothing here for it to report in either direction.
That rule is applied deliberately and it costs this ingredient the benefit of the doubt. There is a journal literature on alpha lipoic acid; this desk does not cite journals for ingredient effects, because selecting which papers to quote is exactly the step that turns an information page into a sales page. If a federal body publishes a fact sheet, it will be read and quoted here.
Cautions and interactions
Nothing can be offered. No fact sheet exists at either body this desk reads.
Butcher’s Broom root extract
Ruscus aculeatus · at most 3.7 mg · position 3 of six · no fact sheet at NCCIH or the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements
Third in the blend, so at most about 3.7 mg — a ceiling, not an amount.
The naming here is good and deserves saying so. Butcher’s Broom (Ruscus aculeatus) Root Extract gives a genus, a species and a plant part. Most labels in this series print a common name and stop, which makes the ingredient unsearchable. This one is searchable.
Searching it returns nothing. There is no fact sheet for butcher’s broom at NCCIH or at the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, so nothing can be said about it here. A label can be well drafted and still name an ingredient that no federal body has written about; both things are true at once.
Cautions and interactions
Nothing can be offered. No fact sheet exists at either body this desk reads.
L-Carnitine
no binomial; a compound · at most 2.5 mg · position 4 of six · federal fact sheet: NIH Office of Dietary Supplements
Fourth in the blend, so at most about 2.5 mg — a ceiling, not an amount.
This is the one ingredient on the label with a published study range to compare against, and the comparison is the starkest in this series. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements records L-carnitine trials at “0.25 to 4 g/day”, which is 250 to 4,000 mg. A ceiling of 2.5 mg is one hundred to one thousand six hundred times smaller than that range.
ODS is also direct about who needs it: “Healthy children and adults do not need to consume carnitine from food or supplements”, because the body makes enough. The fact sheet does not mention peripheral neuropathy at all; its neurological content concerns Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, where results were mixed.
“Healthy children and adults do not need to consume carnitine from food or supplements … L-carnitine supplements at doses of 0.25 to 4 g/day for 2 to 52 weeks.”
NIH Office of Dietary Supplements — Carnitine: Fact Sheet for Health Professionals
Cautions and interactions
NIH ODS records a seizure-risk note for people with seizure disorders. It also records that healthy adults do not need supplemental carnitine.
Turmeric rhizome extract, 95% curcuminoids
Curcuma longa · at most 1.9 mg · position 5 of six · federal fact sheet: National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health
Fifth in the blend, so at most about 1.9 mg — a ceiling, not an amount.
Turmeric (Curcumalonga) Rhizome Extract 95% Curcuminoids is the best-specified ingredient name this desk has read on any label in this series: genus, species, plant part and a standardisation. The binomial is printed without a space, which is a typesetting slip rather than a factual one, and it is transcribed here as printed.
NCCIH’s conclusion is unambiguous: “We don’t know enough to definitively conclude if turmeric or curcumin is beneficial for any health purposes.” On osteoarthritis it says the initial evidence is positive and higher-quality evidence is needed.
NCCIH also records that oral turmeric “can cause adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting, acid reflux, stomach upset, diarrhea, or constipation”, and that highly bioavailable curcumin products have been linked to liver damage in some people. A 95% curcuminoid extract is a concentrated preparation, which is what that note is about — though at 1.9 mg this is not the dose that literature concerns.
“We don’t know enough to definitively conclude if turmeric or curcumin is beneficial for any health purposes … Oral turmeric can cause adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting, acid reflux, stomach upset, diarrhea, or constipation.”
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health — Turmeric: Usefulness and Safety
Cautions and interactions
NCCIH: oral turmeric “can cause adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting, acid reflux, stomach upset, diarrhea, or constipation”, highly bioavailable curcumin has been linked to liver damage in some people, and use during pregnancy “may be unsafe”.
Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone)
no binomial; a compound · at most 1.5 mg · position 6 of six · federal fact sheet: National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health
Sixth and last in the blend, so at most about 1.5 mg — a ceiling, not an amount, and the smallest figure on this label.
NCCIH reviews CoQ10 across several conditions and finds little. On statin-related muscle pain it says “the overall scientific evidence does not support the idea that CoQ10 can reduce muscle pain”. On blood pressure, it “probably doesn’t have a meaningful effect”. On Parkinson’s disease, an NIH-funded study found it “didn’t improve symptoms”. Peripheral neuropathy is not among the conditions the page covers.
On safety NCCIH is reassuring — “no serious side effects of CoQ10 have been reported” — with one specific exception worth knowing: CoQ10 “may interact with the anticoagulant (blood thinner) warfarin and the diabetes drug insulin”.
“No serious side effects of CoQ10 have been reported … CoQ10 may interact with the anticoagulant (blood thinner) warfarin and the diabetes drug insulin.”

Cautions and interactions

How the bounds are derived
Five of the six entries above carry a ceiling rather than an amount, and the sixth carries a weight that is not printed anywhere on the bottle either. Nothing in this chain is borrowed: it uses two printed figures, one molar mass and one sentence from the FDA’s labelling guide.
- 01Start with the one printed figureThe panel declares 80 mg of magnesium above the blend and says it comes from the magnesium glycinate from proprietary blend. That is an amount of the element, not of the compound.
- 02Check that the label’s own percentage agreesThe panel prints 19% of the Daily Value beside it. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements gives the Daily Value for magnesium as 420 mg, and 80 ÷ 420 = 19.05%. The label’s arithmetic is correct, which confirms the 80 mg is elemental magnesium.
- 03Work out what the compound weighsMagnesium bisglycinate is Mg(C2H4NO2)2. Its molar mass is 172.42 g/mol, of which magnesium accounts for 24.305. The chelate is therefore 14.1% magnesium by weight.
- 04Divide80 ÷ 0.141 = 567.5 mg of magnesium glycinate. That is the weight of the first ingredient in the blend, and it is not a ceiling — it is forced by a printed figure.
- 05SubtractThe blend is 575 mg. 575 − 567.5 = 7.5 mg for alpha lipoic acid, butcher’s broom, L-carnitine, turmeric and coenzyme Q10 together. The first ingredient is 98.7% of the blend.
- 06Apply the descending-order rule to what is leftThe FDA requires blend ingredients “in descending order of predominance by weight”, so inside that 7.5 mg remainder item n cannot exceed 7.5 ÷ n: at most 7.5, 3.7, 2.5, 1.9 and 1.5 mg. Every one of those is a ceiling, not an amount.
The first bar is the one ingredient whose weight is fixed by a printed figure. The second is everything else in the blend added together. The five below it are the ceilings the descending-order rule puts on each one inside that remainder. A ceiling is a ceiling, not an amount.
“You must identify proprietary blends by use of the term “Proprietary Blend” or an appropriately descriptive term or fanciful name. On the same line, you must list the total weight of all “other dietary ingredients” contained in the blend. Indented underneath the name of the blend, you must list the “other dietary ingredients” in the blend, either in a column or linear fashion, in descending order of predominance by weight.”
U.S. Food and Drug Administration — Dietary Supplement Labeling Guide: Chapter IV. Nutrition Labeling
A ceiling is not an amount
Every figure below the first bar is an upper limit, and the true amounts are at or below them. The first bar is the other way round: about 567.5 mg of magnesium glycinate is not a bound but a weight forced by the printed 80 mg declaration and the chemistry of the chelate. If the real formula used a buffered or diluted glycinate rather than the pure chelate the name implies, the first figure would fall and the remainder would rise. That assumption is tested row by row in a sensitivity table on the label page.
The six at a glance
Position, name, and the bound each one carries. Every figure except the first is a ceiling, not an amount.

Which four have a federal file
Before any discussion of dose there is a prior question: has either of the two bodies this desk reads published anything about the ingredient at all? For this product the answer is better than usual. Four of the six return a fact sheet.
| Ingredient | Federal fact sheet? | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium (as the glycinate) | Yes — NIH ODS | A Daily Value of 420 mg, a 350 mg upper limit for supplemental magnesium, a diarrhoea note at high doses, and a direct statement on nerve impulse conduction. |
| Alpha lipoic acid | No | — |
| Butcher’s broom root extract | No | — |
| L-carnitine | Yes — NIH ODS | Trials at 0.25 to 4 g a day, and that healthy children and adults do not need to consume carnitine from food or supplements. |
| Turmeric rhizome extract | Yes — NCCIH | That we do not know enough to conclude it is beneficial for any health purpose, plus digestive adverse effects and liver reports for highly bioavailable curcumin. |
| Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) | Yes — NCCIH | Little effect found across several conditions, no serious side effects reported, and an interaction with warfarin and insulin. |
Two of six return nothing. Neither alpha lipoic acid nor butcher’s broom has an entry at NCCIH’s Herbs at a Glance index or a fact sheet at the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements. That rule is applied deliberately and it costs those two ingredients the benefit of the doubt. There is a journal literature on alpha lipoic acid; this desk does not cite journals for ingredient effects, because choosing which papers to quote is exactly the step that turns an information page into a sales page. Absence of a federal fact sheet is not evidence of harm and not evidence of benefit.
Note also what the four files do not say. Peripheral neuropathy is not among the conditions the NCCIH coenzyme Q10 page covers, and the carnitine fact sheet does not mention it either — its neurological content concerns Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, where results were mixed. The one file that speaks to nerves is the magnesium one, and it speaks about deficiency.
What this label does better than most
It would be easy to read the arithmetic above as a verdict on the whole label. It is not. The naming on this panel is the best this desk has read in the series, and the reason is specific: two of the six carry a binomial and a plant part, and one of those adds a standardisation.
| As printed on the panel | Genus and species? | Plant part? | Standardised? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magnesium Glycinate | Not applicable — a compound | — | The form is named, which is what matters for the chemistry |
| Alpha Lipoic Acid | Not applicable — a compound | — | No — and it exists as more than one form |
| Butcher’s Broom (Ruscus aculeatus) Root Extract | Yes | Yes — root | No |
| L-Carnitine | Not applicable — a compound | — | The isomer is named, which is more than nothing |
| Turmeric (Curcumalonga) Rhizome Extract 95% Curcuminoids | Yes | Yes — rhizome | Yes — 95% curcuminoids |
| Coenzyme Q 10 (as Ubiquinone) | Not applicable — a compound | — | The form is named: ubiquinone rather than ubiquinol |
Credits this label has earned
- The declared nutrient carries a correct Daily Value percentage — 80 ÷ 420 = 19.05%, printed as 19% — which is what makes the whole blend computable.
- Two botanicals carry a genus, a species and a plant part, so a reader can search for them.
- The turmeric row adds a standardisation, 95% curcuminoids: the single most informative thing any label in this series has printed about an ingredient.
- The caution block is complete — dose limit, under-18s, pregnancy and nursing, medication and medical conditions.
- The Other Ingredients line is given in full and names five excipients.
- A distributor with a city, a state and a ZIP, plus a telephone number and an email, is printed on the bottle itself.
- 80 mg of magnesium is about 23% of the 350 mg upper limit NIH ODS sets for supplemental magnesium — comfortable headroom, and a sensible amount.
What the naming still leaves out
- No amount for any of the six blend ingredients.
- No standardisation for the butcher’s broom extract.
- No form for the alpha lipoic acid, which exists as more than one.
- The turmeric binomial is printed without a space — Curcumalonga — and is transcribed here as printed.
- No country of origin for any ingredient, and no manufacturer named.
- No GMP statement on the bottle, and no certifying body behind the seal supplied as separate artwork.
- No mention of warfarin or insulin anywhere on the product, though NCCIH records both against coenzyme Q10.
The item to dwell on is the first in the left column. A correct percentage beside a declared nutrient is a small act of competence that hands a careful reader the whole structure of the formula. It was required, it was done right, and it works against the product.
What is not published
Seventeen things a buyer might reasonably expect to find, and does not. Nothing in this list has been softened.
- A price. For a bottle, for a pack, for shipping, anywhere.
- The length of the guarantee, or any of its conditions.
- An amount for any of the five ingredients after the magnesium glycinate.
- A Certificate of Analysis, a batch record or any third-party test result.
- A manufacturer. The label names a distributor, not a maker.
- A country of origin for the ingredients.
- A GMP statement on the bottle, or a certifying body behind the supplied seal.
- A registration number on any of the three supplied marks.
- Any explanation of why the marketing bottle says neuropathy and the real one says nerve.
- A reason the label telephone number and the order-desk number differ.
- A reason the label place of business is Colorado and the pack addresses are New York.
- A legible best-before date on the artwork supplied.
- A standardisation for the butcher's broom extract.
- A form for the alpha lipoic acid, which exists as more than one.
- Any federal fact sheet for alpha lipoic acid or butcher's broom.
- A named medical reviewer this desk commissioned.
- A verifiable customer review.
The first three lines are the ones to take to the order desk. The batch page has the call script, and a Certificate of Analysis would settle most of the rest, because a certificate reports quantities ingredient by ingredient. Lot N-26/MY-3415 and reference N-3415-26-MY are draft reference strings this desk composed so that a buyer has something concrete to ask for; neither is a laboratory document.
Common questions about the ingredients
Ten questions, phrased the way people type them. Each answer is sourced or says plainly that nothing is published. Type to filter.
neuralisse ingredients
Six, inside a single 575 mg Proprietary Blend: magnesium glycinate, alpha lipoic acid, butcher’s broom (Ruscus aculeatus) root extract, L-carnitine, turmeric (Curcumalonga) rhizome extract at 95% curcuminoids, and coenzyme Q 10 as ubiquinone. Above the blend the panel declares 80 mg of magnesium at 19% of the Daily Value. The other ingredients are hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, stearic acid and silicon dioxide.
how much magnesium is in neuralisse
Eighty milligrams of elemental magnesium a capsule, printed on the panel at 19% of the Daily Value. The percentage checks out: NIH ODS gives the Daily Value as 420 mg, and 80 ÷ 420 = 19.05%. The compound it comes from weighs more than the element: magnesium bisglycinate is 14.1% magnesium, so about 567.5 mg of the chelate is needed to deliver 80 mg of magnesium.
what is in the neuralisse proprietary blend
Six named ingredients and no individual figures. That is permitted — Operation Supplement Safety records that “the specific amount of each individual ingredient in a proprietary blend does not have to be listed”. What is unusual here is that the blend can still be solved, because the magnesium declaration above it fixes the first ingredient at about 567.5 mg of the 575 mg total, leaving roughly 7.5 mg for the other five together.
how much alpha lipoic acid is in neuralisse
Not published, and the honest answer is a ceiling rather than an amount. Alpha lipoic acid is second of the six, so it can be no more than the whole remainder after the magnesium glycinate: about 7.5 mg. It has no fact sheet at NCCIH’s Herbs at a Glance index and none at the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, so this site publishes no dose and no effect for it and will not borrow one from a journal.
what is butchers broom used for
Nothing can be offered here, which is an unsatisfying answer honestly arrived at. Butcher’s broom returns no fact sheet at NCCIH or at the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, the two bodies this desk reads. The label names it well — Butcher’s Broom (Ruscus aculeatus) Root Extract gives a genus, a species and a plant part, which makes it searchable. Searching it returns nothing. Third of six, so at most about 3.7 mg.
is there enough l-carnitine in neuralisse
This is the one row where the comparison can be made, and it is the starkest on the label. NIH ODS records L-carnitine trials at “0.25 to 4 g/day” — 250 to 4,000 mg. The ceiling here, fourth of six inside a 7.5 mg remainder, is about 2.5 mg: 250 ÷ 2.5 = 100, and 4,000 ÷ 2.5 = 1,600. ODS also records that healthy adults do not need supplemental carnitine.
does neuralisse contain turmeric
Yes, and it is the best-specified name on the label: Turmeric (Curcumalonga) Rhizome Extract 95% Curcuminoids gives a genus, a species, a plant part and a standardisation. NCCIH’s own conclusion is blunt: “We don’t know enough to definitively conclude if turmeric or curcumin is beneficial for any health purposes.” It is fifth of six, so the ceiling is about 1.9 mg — a ceiling, not an amount.
how much coq10 is in neuralisse
Not published. Coenzyme Q10 is sixth and last of the six, so it carries the smallest ceiling on the label: about 1.5 mg. NCCIH records that “no serious side effects of CoQ10 have been reported”, with one exception worth knowing — it “may interact with the anticoagulant (blood thinner) warfarin and the diabetes drug insulin”. The word warfarin appears nowhere on this product.
is neuralisse magnesium glycinate or magnesium oxide
Glycinate, per the label: the panel reads Magnesium (as Magnesium Glycinate from proprietary blend). That matters for the arithmetic on this page, because magnesium bisglycinate is 14.1% magnesium by weight — molar mass 172.42, of which magnesium is 24.305 — which is what forces the first ingredient to about 567.5 mg. Glycinate is also among the better tolerated forms, and that is a point in the product’s favour.
is neuralisse vegan or gluten free
Nothing published says. No allergen statement, no vegan mark and no gluten-free claim appears on the label, and this site will not infer one. The one fact a reader can take off the Other Ingredients line directly is the capsule shell: hypromellose (vegetable capsule) rather than gelatine. The rest of that line is microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, stearic acid and silicon dioxide.
