Hello:
I've been taking Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) 600mg once a day for quite a few years, at first it seemed to work for me, but now I'm not so sure...how long have you been taking BID, and did/have you had any side effects?
thanks

I started taking ALA in 2015. I had been having very bad tingling and numbness in both feet, sometimes it would spread upwards to my knees. It was pretty maddening, so I was ready to try anything, even supplements, which I am quite skeptical about using. However, ALA worked really well, and fast; it reduced the tingling and numbness within 30 minutes, and regular use nearly eliminated the problem. I don't take ALA anymore, since I no longer have the foot problem. I never had any side effects, no withdraw, just relief.
