I don´t know that particular one, but I do take Alpha Lipoic Acid, recommended by Dr. Antonio Aldrete, when diagnosed with Arachnoiditis. Also by a neurologist who works at a specific neurologic clinic in Sarasota, Florida. He vouched for it being of use in terms of neurology. I have no idea what the other ingredients are as I couldn´t read the label too well. Alpha Lipoic Acid is for sale in health food stores and even drugstores. For whatever it´s worth.....Once a legitimate MD recommends a supplement I tend to trust that it couldn´t hurt.

I take a lot of the supplements listed in product but I know the quality of the ones I take and I'm not sure about the ones and the amount of each one listed in the product. ALA as listed on the bottle probably contains at least 50% of the synthetic version which I think inhibits any kind of value of the natural ALA. I take 100% R-ALA - 1200 mg daily along with my other supplements. Here's some references for ALA.
