Doctor's BESTStabilized R-Lipoic Acid with BioEnhanced Na-RALA, Helps Support Glucose Metabolism and Energy Production* Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan, 100 mg, 180 Count

As a long time (55 years) insulin user, I developed diabetic neuropathy some years ago. This would present as stinging or shooting pains in my feet and lower legs, often waking me from a full sleep.Upon advice from my acupuncturist, I tried R-lepoic acid, and within days, my pains ceased. (Bless you Isaac!)Have been using is regularly for two years now, part of my routine.This brand works quite well for me, no reason to look elsewhere.1/23/21 Update:Still using this brand, and I still don’t quite understand the science of it all, but I’m glad to have learned of this easy method to keep my foot discomfort in check!

This is top quality R-ALA! I use this with full spectrum amino acids for enhanced recovery from weight training sessions. The ALA makes the aminos even more potent. An added benefit is the product's ability to recycle certain key antioxidants along with a host of other useful health effects. Stacks very well with acetylcarnitine for superior energy production and cellular waste management.

I use R-Ala 600mg and L-Acetyl carnitine 3000mg for my cubital tunnel parasthesias and I believe it has helped tremendously. Its been about 1 year since I've had a right cubital tunnel and I've been taking R-ala 600mg/day and LAC 300mg/day for about 2 months now and I notice about a 85-90% recovery with my compression neuropathy. Could it be placebo? sure I guess it could be but I do feel improvements with my parasthesias since I've been taking both supplements. worth a try for anyone with neuropathic issues and nerve type pain.

Have purchased this twice after developing small fiber neuropathy as it was advised as a possibly long term remedy. I have taken it for about 6 months regularly taking 2 capsules every morning. My neuropathy symptoms have not improved but have not worsened. Neuropathy is often times not reversible. I find it does keep some of the pain at bay though. One huge benefit I have noticed is the blood sugar benefits. I take 2 every morning on an empty stomach (this is essential) with acetyl l-carnitine. I wait and hour to eat. I can have a breakfast with a good amount of carbohydrates and still see a very nice drop in blood sugar levels an hour after eating. My levels were in the 70's and hour after eating after 2 waffles, sausages and coffee with sugar. If you are someone looking to keep blood sugar at bay without medicine. Consider taking this in combination with Acetyl L-Carnitine. I have actually seen great benefit in that department. Wish it would miraculously cure neuropathy but not happening as of yet. Seems to be a very good supplement though.

I use this for nerve pain in my leg and foot caused by stenosis in my back. Sometimes when I've wondered if it's working or not I stop taking it for a day. My pain gets worse almost immediately, so I know it's helping. I used to take gabapentin and that stopped working, so I switched to this product. It does cause some brief indigestion like the other reviewers mention, but my skin is also softer like other reviewers mention. I'm taking 4 per day.

Seems to be of very high quality, and works well for me.However, it is more expensive.

Most companies are still selling A-Lipoic acid. This is the more potent R-LA, and a great anti-oxidant for protecting mitochondrial function. Good price for the product. I recommend it to my patients whom I suspect have mitochondrial damage from excessive oxidative stress.

Reordering; have used for long time. Good quality.
