Hi. I've recently been told I have peripheral neuropathy, and wish to try Alpha Lipoic Acid. I understand the R-type is best, but don't really know how much or which one to buy. Does anyone else use ALA, and can you recommend one to buy in the UK please?

Thanks in advance!

Not eating Maltesers.
I went to the i-herb.com website - it's in the US but it will deliver to the UK and the delivery is very fast eg within a week. I got the KAL R-Lipoic Acid 100mg vegetarian capsules. I've only just started taking it (less than a week) but I've read it's good for nerve pain which I have had for the last few months. Diazepam 2mg at night helped me nod off but did nothing for the spasms pain during the day. It did make me feel a bit spaced out (the D not the lipoic acid I mean).
