Generic Name: Alpha-Lipoic-Acid-300 (alpha-lipoic-acid)
For Dietary Supplementation "I took 600mg the first day. All pain in feet, leg cramps, and carpal tunnel left. Next day I needed to dose again but no symptoms even while sleeping, which was so painful. I use it on an as-needed basis. My capsules are 300 each. Total daily dose, 600."
For Dietary Supplementation "I was experiencing severe neuropathy, numbness and tingling in my hands, mostly in the evening while relaxing and in bed during the night. I'd awaken in the morning and have to shake my hands to get the feeling back, they'd feel stiff and arthritic until I got it worked out. I started taking one Alpha-Lipoic-Acid-600 capsule in the morning with breakfast and another with dinner. Within a week, my neuropathy symptoms have vanished. I continue to take the same dose for maintenance."
For Dietary Supplementation "After reading reviews, I decided to try this. I suffer from severe SFN pins and needles throughout my body. Severe joint and muscle pain 24/7 for 3 years, and not one professional can determine what is causing this after seeing many. No help from the medical world, so I suffer daily and have no life. I will repost if this vitamin helps. So far, I have very itchy skin, no rash, just itching everywhere. Also seem to have severe heartburn, only been on it for two days. Praying this will help me, I pretty much don't want to live anymore from the severe pain I endure daily."
For Dietary Supplementation "I had osteoporosis in my left shoulder as well as sciatic lower bad pain. After trying Aleve and worrying about causing stomach issues from taking too many, I started reading about Alpha Lipoic Acid. Because the doctor didn't want to prescribe steroids to rid the pain, I decided to try Alpha Lipoic Acid. 300mg. So glad I did! I have been using it for 4 weeks now and the pains have gone. I am able to sleep through the night with no shoulder pain and the lower back pain has not bothered me as well. I had no side effects so I will continue to use it as long as it's working."
For Dietary Supplementation "I took a total of 400-600 mg daily for burning mouth syndrome. After a month, the pain was still present and my stomach was bloated. Needless to say, I was very constipated. I'm reducing my dose drastically because the BMS pain is so bad, and I’m searching for relief. I’ve been prescribed the really strong meds but prefer a more natural route if possible. I do believe ALA helps certain people, but in my case, I don't know! Anyone else used it for BMS?"
For Dietary Supplementation "I am on my second day of using 600mg of 100% Natural R ALA. On the first day, I took it with water on an empty stomach and suffered from heartburn all day. Had to take Gaviscon to get relief. On the second day, I took a capsule with a glass of water while eating breakfast. Feel slight burning in my stomach. I decided to try ALA because I have pre-diabetes, and I suffer from bad sciatic pain, nerve pain, and burning sensations in both legs and feet. I have osteoarthritis too. I have read they can take up to 3 weeks to take effect. I cannot give a good rating at this point because of only just trying them, I’ll review them in 4 weeks' time."
For Dietary Supplementation "ALA has stopped the tingling in my lower legs. I had been having electrical-like tingling in lower legs in various places. ALA has nearly stopped this condition."
For Dietary Supplementation "My feet would feel like I had ants biting them, and hard to walk! Since I’ve been on ALA, that has all stopped."
For Dietary Supplementation "ALA made me nauseous, pain in feet worse, red skin on face, low blood sugar."
For Dietary Supplementation "ALA 600 mg taken once daily has given me instant relief of my burning, tingling, and aching foot/ankle. 600 mg capsule is large."
"Take 600 mg nightly, reduces tingling & stabbing neuropathies in feet/legs. Stopped for 30 days: symptoms returned. Resumed dosing, symptoms gradually reduced."
