Hello everyone! I am having a very annoying peripheral neuropathy. I was trying different medications,including painkillers and antidepressants. None of them took any effect on the night time pain. I have sleepless nights since 5 months or so. Cannot cope with it lol. I was reading quite a lot of positive feedback from R ALA, so I would give that a go. Could somebody share me where is it possible to buy from? I mean the real one,high quality one. Also,if you have tried,what is your experience? Thanks all!

I use it and find it excellent.

I buy it from here
https://www.healthmonthly.co.uk/swanson_ultra_double_strength_r-fraction_alpha_lipoic_acid?search_string=Swanson Ultra Double Strength R-Fraction Alpha Lipoic Acid

They also sell it on Amazon

That is really useful; I will also give it a go.

RCT evidence is that some people find it helpful, which I would never have looked at if you hadn't posted - thanks.

It is used in large doses via intravenous methods on the Continent for people with very severe neuropathy, but these are huge doses compared with the tablets. I can't see them doing this if it didn't work.

It definitely works for me, although my foot neuropathy isn't at all connected to diabetes. It was a side effect of chemotherapy over 5 years ago. It got rid of mine completely so I stopped taking it. After about 3 months it came back, so I am taking it again. All I have is one 100mg tablet of the double strength R-ALA once a day.

I hope it works for you.

The cost of R-ALA has been steadily increasing in the UK over this year, presumably due to import exchange rates. The brand I buy, Life Extension, is now £26 a pot. Recently I balked at this and in protest I stopped buying it and started taking the mix s/r-ala as it is so much cheaper. Whilst my wallet has appreciated the change , my feet certainly haven't and my neuropathy is noticeably worse.
So I can deduce from this that the stated extra bio-efficiency of the pure "r" product is quite correct and i'm going to have to bite the bullet and get back on it.

The Swansons double strength, as shown in my links above, is around £18, cheaper if you buy more than one bottle.

I mentioned in an earlier post that it works extremely well for me. So well that last December I stopped taking it. A couple of months later it came back, so I started taking it again and it is working.
