Everything Vyvata knows about this product — the score, the evidence, the FAQ, and where else to find shopper reviews. No hidden data. Every vendor is scored on the same published rubric — no brand can pay for placement. Read the rubric →
'SciatiEase' 12-ingredient proprietary blend hiding individual doses of PEA, acetyl-L-carnitine, benfotiamine, and B-vitamins behind the label. Only R-ALA (300mg) is disclosed. Marketed explicitly for 'sciatic nerve pain' relief — a specific disease claim not permitted for supplements. Two auto-fails; the product is fundamentally non-compliant with FDA structure/function rules.
Auto-fail rule triggered: Proprietary blend hides dose.
The product uses a proprietary or 'proprietary blend' formulation that hides per-ingredient dosages. Without knowing the amount of each active ingredient, users cannot verify whether the blend meets RCT-supported effective doses. See the full rubric →
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.

'SciatiEase' 12-ingredient proprietary blend hiding individual doses of PEA, acetyl-L-carnitine, benfotiamine, and B-vitamins behind the label. Only R-ALA (300mg) is disclosed. Marketed explicitly for 'sciatic nerve pain' relief — a specific disease claim not permitted for supplements. Two auto-fails; the product is fundamentally non-compliant with FDA structure/function rules.
Strongest: Safety at 40/100 (adverse-event profile, interaction risk, and dose ceiling) and Sustainability at 35/100 (sourcing practices, packaging, and corporate practice). Weakest: Evidence at 25/100 (quality of published RCT support for the active ingredients at the label dose) and Transparency at 20/100 (dose disclosure vs proprietary blends, and honesty of marketing claims). All six dimensions feed the overall Vyvata score; a weakness on any one dimension pulls the overall down proportionally.
Third-party certifications on record: GMP Certified. These contribute to the Manufacturing dimension score. Always check the current product label for the most up-to-date certification information.
This product triggered the Vyvata auto-fail rule "proprietary_blend_hides_dose", which places it in the Rejected tier regardless of its scores on other dimensions. See the full explanation above and the methodology page for the current list of auto-fail rules.
