Hi, I tried ALA but gave me nausea, so I stopped. Also it was at the time when I wasn’t diagnosed yet what kind of neuropathy it is. Doctors thought it is CMT, but it turned out it is HSAN. Different neuropathy might need different treatments and supplements. For example my type of hereditary condition needs L-serine in high dose as the nerve does not pick that up from the body.
I think all nerve condition can benefit from very clean and healthy diet, anti inflammatory supplements as ginger and turmeric, garlic.

Hi @krisztina, ALA does cause stomach issues for some folks. One of the recommendations I've seen was to start taking it at lower doses like 100 mg daily for a few weeks and build up to your therapeutic dose. Also taking it with food or part of a banana. I agree with you that all of us including those with nerve conditions can benefit from a clean, healthy, anti-inflammatory diet. I also take a turmeric daily and treat myself to some Trader Joe's Ginger and Turmeric tea on those cold days like today.
