Quick answer
The Sciatica Pro ingredient glossary covers terms from alpha lipoic acid to turmeric. Each entry gives a plain meaning and, where the label prints one, the amount per two-capsule serving. Terms such as DFE, Daily Value and hypromellose are included. It explains the label and does not suggest any result.
Key facts
- Glossary terms follow the label: ingredients, units and label phrases.
- Amounts quoted are per serving of two capsules.
- Entries run from alpha lipoic acid to turmeric.
- Units covered: mg, mcg, DFE and percent Daily Value.
- Terms with no published detail are marked not published.
- This glossary explains words; it makes no claim about results.
Sciatica Pro ingredient glossary, A to B: what do these terms mean?
Alpha lipoic acid. The largest row on the panel, at 400 mg a serving. It is a compound studied mostly in diabetic neuropathy. NCCIH calls those findings inconsistent. Common side effects include headache, heartburn, nausea and vomiting.
Acetyl L-carnitine. A row of 50 mg a serving. The sources say research uses grams, so this is a small fraction.
Ashwagandha powder (root). A dried, ground root, 25 mg a serving. It is a powder and not a standardised extract. NCCIH notes rare liver injury cases and a long list of possible medicine interactions.
Benfotiamine. A row of 150 mg a serving. No federal consumer page for it is cited on this site, so its role is not described here.
Brown rice flour. A filler in the capsule. No amount is published.
Broccoli powder (leaf). A dried vegetable powder, 25 mg a serving. No federal page is cited for it.
Sciatica Pro ingredient glossary, C to D: what do these terms mean?
Capsule. The shell holding the powders. Here it is hypromellose, a vegetable shell. A bottle holds 60.
Cholecalciferol. The form of vitamin D3 on this label. The panel gives 20 mcg, which is 100% of the Daily Value.
DFE. Dietary folate equivalents. Folic acid from a supplement counts for more than food folate, so it is converted. The panel shows 383 mcg DFE from 230 mcg folic acid.
Daily Value (DV). A reference amount used for the percent column. Four rows have one. Six carry two asterisks and the footnote: Daily Value not established.
Dietary supplement. The category printed on the label. It is not a drug, and no supplement is FDA approved.
Sciatica Pro ingredient glossary, F to H: what do these terms mean?
Folate. A B vitamin. Here it is 383 mcg DFE, 96% of the Daily Value. The adult upper limit for folic acid is 1,000 mcg.
Folic acid. The supplement form of folate. The panel shows 230 mcg of it inside the folate row.
GMPc Facility. A mark printed on the label. It describes how a factory keeps records and documents a batch. It is not an approval of this formula.
Hypromellose. A plant-based material used for vegetable capsules. It is the first item on the other ingredients line.
Healthcare professional. The person the directions point to if you want something other than the printed dose.
Sciatica Pro ingredient glossary, M to P: what do these terms mean?
Magnesium stearate. A flow agent that helps powders fill capsules. No amount is published.
mcg. Micrograms. One thousandth of a milligram. Vitamin D3, folate and vitamin B12 are quoted in mcg.
mg. Milligrams. Alpha lipoic acid, benfotiamine, vitamin B6 and the powders are quoted in mg.
Methylcobalamin. The form of vitamin B12 on this label. The panel gives 2 mcg, or 83% of the Daily Value. The adult RDA is 2.4 mcg.
Proprietary blend. A group of ingredients listed together with only one total. This label has none. Each row has its own amount.
Pyridoxine hydrochloride. The form of vitamin B6 here. The panel gives 1.7 mg, 100% of the Daily Value. The adult upper limit is 100 mg.
Sciatica Pro ingredient glossary, R to T: what do these terms mean?
RDA. Recommended dietary allowance. For vitamin B12 it is 2.4 mcg for adults. For vitamin D it is 15 mcg.
REV 0424. The revision code printed on the label. It is not an expiry date. An expiry date is not published.
Serving size. Two capsules. All panel amounts are for one serving, and a bottle holds 30.
Structure and function claim. A type of wording, such as Supports Nerve Health, tied to the FDA disclaimer by a dagger. It does not say a product treats a condition.
Turmeric powder (root). Ground root, 25 mg a serving. It is not a curcumin extract. NCCIH says we do not know enough to conclude it is beneficial for any health purpose.
Upper limit. The highest daily intake from all sources that is unlikely to cause harm. It counts every product together.
How should you use this glossary in practice?
Keep it open next to the bottle. Read the front, find each strange word here, then move to the panel. Within ten minutes you will know the shape of the formula.
Pay most attention to three entries: Daily Value, upper limit and proprietary blend. These three decide how much weight you can put on a number. A percent of 100 is not a high dose. An upper limit counts every source together. A blend would hide amounts, and this label has none.
When a term still feels unclear, ask. The label support line is (844) 469-3744. A pharmacist can explain any word here in a minute, and can also add up your other supplements, which no glossary can do.
Sciatica Pro ingredient glossary, V to Z: what do these terms mean?
Vegetarian. A mark on the label. It is supported by the vegetable capsule shell.
Vitamin B6. See pyridoxine hydrochloride. The NIH notes that high amounts from supplements over a year or longer can harm nerves.
Vitamin B12. See methylcobalamin. Low B12 is named by the NIH as a cause of numb or tingly hands and feet, so it is worth discussing with a doctor.
Vitamin D3. See cholecalciferol. The adult upper limit is 100 mcg.
Zero blends. Not a label term, but a fair summary: ten ingredients, ten printed amounts, no blend. That openness is to the label's credit.

Our view
A glossary cannot tell you whether a product suits you. It can make a label less strange, and that is often the first thing a reader needs.
The Sciatica Pro ingredient glossary above shows a label that explains itself well. Ten rows, ten amounts, and a short list of other ingredients.
Keep this page beside the bottle. Then take both to a doctor or pharmacist for the part only they can answer.
