NERVIVE

Manufactured by Procter & Gamble

Nervive is a line of daily supplements designed to address nerve care and pain. It includes Nerve Health to fortify overall nerve health, as well as Nerve Relief and Nerve Relief PM for occasional aches, discomfort, and weakness related to aging. Nerve-related discomfort is especially common in aging adults because of natural structural changes in the nervous system, including loss of myelin and slowed signaling. To help address these changes, the supplements are specially formulated with ingredients to support patients’ fundamental functions and needs.
