I want to use R-ALA tor my peripheral neuropathy of legs and feet. Unfortunate I am on lots of medication and I’m concerned about interactions,particularly as I am on a blood thinner. I know that it always advises to involve your GP but mine is not terribly helpful. I wonder if anyone has experienced the same dilemma. That aside would you still recommend the same brand of R-ALA and the same dose. Any advice is gratefully welcome

Hello John,
So sorry about your dilemma; however, as with everything that passes our mouth, it’s imperative to never measure what we need compared to anybody else. Asking other people especially about a certain medication or supplement dosage is strongly not recommended. None of us with our own condition and history knows the case history of another person. Different bodies react differently with everything that goes through the mouth. It’s also imperative to keep in mind the potential side effects that may occur. Believe me, I am saying this from my own experience and reading other people who are always asking other people for suggestions or recommendations.
If your doctor is not helpful, then you might want to start thinking about searching for another one.
I wish you the best.
Take care and have a serene Sunday,
gus

@bigjohnscho, Sorry to hear your doctor is not terribly helpful. I've been on blood thinners for going on 2 years following a blood clot in my leg followed by one in my lungs. I take Eliquis 2.5 mg morning and evening, and also take R-ALA 600 mg morning and evening. My cardiologist and primary care doctor are OK with me taking the supplements but it is definitely something to discuss with your healthcare team. If your GP is not very helpful, can you discuss it with your pharmacist?
