Source Naturals Alpha Lipoic Acid, Time Released Antioxidant Protection* - 120 Time Release Tablets

I have diabetic neuropathy in my toes and I have tried a number of medicines like Neurontin/Gabapentin and other similar things like NSAIDs and even narcotic pain killers with little effect. My endocrinologist suggested I try 600mg alpha lipoic acid as some of her patients have reported good results. I take 300mg am and another 300mg pm and all I can say is the relief is great. I don't want the symptoms to to go 100% away because I want to have some irritation to remind me to not let my blood glucose get too high. If a person gets rid of all the symptoms (just the symptoms not the underlying cause) of diabetes it is just human nature to start slacking up because there are no apparent consequences. But I would say the relief is 80% where it was maybe 20% on any other drugs at best. I have used Source Natural products before and found them to be a good quality product at a moderate price, so this is what I tried and have continued to use.If you have neuropathy pain and you are not getting good relief from anything else, I strongly suggest you shell out the $20 to give this a try. Results were almost immediate. You will know in a week how well it will work for you. There are no guarantees but nothing ventured, nothing gained.Note: Although the picture of this product is wrong, the UPC and description both correctly state that this is the timed release formula. It costs a bit more but, if you want sustained effectiveness and not peaks and drops, this is what you want.

this item is easy to use and it works great

I went through 2 bottles of this stuff and found that it really helped with my peripheral neuropathy - nerve pain in hands and feet. I saw results after finishing the first bottle. However, i got such bad headaches from taking it that I had to stop. I wasn't taking it for my skin, but it's worth noting that I didn't see any changes in the two months i took it. But maybe it takes longer to see skin changes.I wish i didn't get headaches as a side effect because these tablets really seemed to help with the nerve pain. They are worth trying if you suffer from neuropathy - it doesn't seem that other commenters have had headache issues. This is an aside - but i also found that taking Boswellia helped a lot with peripheral neuropathy.I wish you all luck with finding pain relief if that's what you're in search of!
