I went on a keto diet and took alpha-lipoic acid and after 7-8 months the feeling came back except for my toesand later added acetyl-l-carnitine and got feeling back in my toes. These all help with inflammation and carnitine can help with nerve repair.

Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) is a naturally occurring compound that has been studied for its potential role in nerve regeneration.
Mechanism of Action:
ALC is thought to promote nerve regeneration by:
Increasing energy production in nerve cells, Protecting nerve cells from damage, Stimulating the production of nerve growth factors, and Improving blood flow to nerves.
Evidence from Studies:
Several studies have investigated the effects of ALC on nerve regeneration. Some key findings include:
Animal studies:
ALC has been shown to improve nerve regeneration in animals with nerve injuries.
Human studies:
Small studies in humans have shown that ALC can improve pain, numbness, and tingling in people with diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage caused by diabetes).
Meta-analysis:
A meta-analysis of several studies concluded that ALC is effective in improving nerve regeneration in people with diabetic neuropathy.
Dosage and Administration:
The recommended dosage of ALC for nerve regeneration is typically 2-3 grams per day, taken in divided doses. It can be taken as a powder, capsule, or liquid.
Safety and Side Effects:
ALC is generally considered safe when taken in recommended dosages. However, some people may experience mild side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and stomach upset.
Conclusion:
Based on available evidence, ALC may be a promising supplement for promoting nerve regeneration. However, more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and determine the optimal dosage and duration of treatment. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking ALC, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

Thanks for all this good information. How much ALC did you take and how much Alpha liporic acid? And how much do you continue to take since it improved?

I have newly dx Idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. Doing alot of researching, I have NOT been able to find any positive results with ACL other than diabetic neuropathy .Anybody out there find such? Most studies with neuropathy center around diabetic neuropathy.
