Do these vitamins really help?

Posted by aunttonipage @aunttonipage, Mar 1 10:54pm

Ok, I’ve been reading all the posts & found suggestions for different vitamins. The three most common are:

1. acetyl -l carnitine
2. Magnesium l-theanine (pills, lotions & flakes.)
3. R-ALA

So, does any of this really help or is it just malarkey to get us to spend money?

If any of those do help you, which ones, what forms & how much?

Also, am I forgetting something that truly does help?

I take 1500 mg liposomal ala/day and it definitely helps. I was on 900mg gabapentin 3 times a day and still in horrible pain. I quit taking it , so I'm always goi g to try any suggestions I can. I can't say I noticed a difference in the pain, but then I forget to take it for a few days and I can see how much it's helping think I get between 15 and 25% pain relief. Hope this helps you

Mersus, I was diagnosed, trigeminal neuralgia last year and put on cabamazepine. Works great but made me feel drunk when walking, ataxia. Affects liver after one month. ( hepatitis ). Went on 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in morning. Taken with a large glass of water. Then I sprinkle pepper on all food and drink the whole day. Works for me. No side effects.
You might like to try turmeric with black pepper. Not so hot.
Good luck,
