How it works
Reduces oxidative stress in peripheral nerve mitochondria, improving nerve blood flow and conduction velocity. Reduces the reactive oxygen species that damage peripheral nerve fibres in diabetic neuropathy.
Most evidence for diabetic neuropathy specifically — less evidence for other neuropathic pain types. Use R-ALA form for superior bioavailability. Typical dose: 600mg/day. May mildly reduce blood glucose.
