Supplements - What helps nerve pain and/or neuropathy?

Hi Helen, I'm glad it's helping you which is more important. I used to take the cheaper stuff with synthetic ALA included but decided to switch as the other wasn't helping me...but then I don't have pain so that may factor in if it's helping you. I take 2 R-ALA 300 mg tablets twice a day where the S-ALA has been removed and it does cost more to remove the synthetic ALA during the process which is why it's not removed by a lot of companies selling it. The one I use is $30 for 90 capsules. There are different brands available but this is the one I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0QS5C7/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl

I can’t seem to find this brand on the internet at all. Just this one product on Amazon.
@johnbishop Thanks so much for the input about the kind of ALA you use, how much you are taking, and the link for purchasing it. I used ALA for a month but wasn't well educated enough to know the difference between the S-ALA and R-ALA. What I took did not help at all, and looking online just now at my previous purchase it was obviously the S-ALA. I told my neurologist I had tried ALA and that it had not helped. She said ALA was one of the things she always recommended but she never asked which kind I had used or offered up any information about the differences between the two. I may have already mentioned to you that I am looking for a new neurologist for many other reasons. This is just one more reason I need to keep looking.
You are a constant source of good and useful information. Many thanks!

This is the best price I have seen. I hope this is a reliable company, as far as quality control and that sort of thing. 😊
