@athenalee, Just from a quick glance the Nuturna Neuropathy Support Formula contains a lot of the same supplements as the Protocol 525 but they don't list how much with the exception of 600 mg ALA and they do not specify ALA, S-ALA or na-R-ALA. The Protocol 525 na-R-ALA supplement is a morning dose of 2 capsules and evening dose of 2 capsules for 1200 mg. The other difference that would bother me is B6 that the Nuturna proprietary blend contains. That is because unless you are deficient in B6 it's the one that can make your neuropathy worse (in my non medical opinion).

No matter what type of supplement is used, I would run it by my doctor or pharmacist before using it.

Thank you John! You are a wealth of information. I’m just doing research right now in preparation for my upcoming neurologist visit. I want to also be prepared with what ingredients the supplement formulas contain due to drug interactions. I would certainly rather try natural remedies first before any new prescription medications. I’ve been taking a low dose of Neurontin/gabapentin for about 1.5 years for liver pain, which I’ve increased to 200-300 mgs at night, as it certainly helps with the pain and discomfort in my legs and feet. But, I know it’s not healthy and certainly doesn’t help to slow the neuropathy.
