R-Lipoic Acid for neuropathy

@blowerk1216 Because my doctor recommended 1200mg a day, so that's what I'm taking.

It's like hot flashes for your face. It comes and goes. No pain, just all of a sudden my face feels warm.

Key BenefitsNerve Pain Relief: R-ALA is most established for reducing diabetic peripheral neuropathy symptoms—such as burning, numbness, and stabbing pain in the hands and feet—by lowering oxidative stress and improving blood flow to the nerves.Blood Sugar Support: It helps improve insulin sensitivity and assists cells in efficiently taking up glucose, which supports healthy blood sugar regulation.Powerful Antioxidant Action: Because R-ALA is both water- and fat-soluble, it works throughout the entire cell and helps regenerate other key antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione.Metabolic and Inflammation Support: Studies indicate it may help reduce markers of systemic inflammation, support healthy lipid profiles, and offer modest assistance with weight management.

@mrmacabre i forgot to add. My neurologist recommended that amount

@blowerk1216
I'm not. I'm taking 200mg daily. I have been on it 1 week now and I do feel a slight improvement already. 🙏
I will up it to 300mg/daily in a few weeks. That's all

@nancysav
I think whatever works for you. Every one is different

@blowerk1216, Thanks for posting that. My adjustments to the amount of R ALA I will be taking in the future, will be informed by this new, for me, information!

@debbieod Do you take 1200 mg at once? I’ve read, on this site, that many people take 600 mg in morning and 600 mg at night. Have never read anything about face flushing as a result.
