The 5 Best Supplements for Peripheral Neuropathy 

Right! I hate those (obviously legally and ethically necessary) disclaimers on the internet saying “talk to your doctor about this!” I can rarely get doctors to engage in conversation with me let alone give me more than a shrug or a generic response when I have questions about supplements and nutrition. They won’t even answer my questions about potential biomechanics causing my pain. Plus it’s hard to see some doctors regularly, so you really have to make your own choices in your care rather than wait 3 months to ask a question about a supplement or conservative treatment method.

Spot on, they are definitely not up to date re peripheral neuropathy.

It's what we used to call CYA. Cover your a**

That’s what they are trained to say, reflexively. Ask your pharmacist instead.

Then get another doctor. See my posting above. My GP, my neurologist and my cardiologist are all on board with, as my neurologist dubbed it, "My Cocktail".

My Dr said he is a western man. There's no proven studies that support vitamin supplements work. If there's no study, he don't believe in it. My neurologist says that's not true. Some vitamins he suggest I take for neuropathy are helping me. I feel doctors must get some type of deal prescribing some of the medicines out there.

I am in UK, trying to see a doctor is near impossible. I have seriously considered an Ouji board to contact him that way. I have peripheral neuropathy, unfortunately I have medication for my heart which are sensitive to many of supplements. Turmeric is one I cannot take. I have not heard of ALA so I will check that out. This was still interesting. Good luck to you all.

What happens to you with taking turmeric ? Please tell your experience as I also take turmeric ​@ba-gg6jo

And my experience with ALA is good

Tumeric reduces the effectiveness of my heart meds according to my consultant.

You are correct!

Yep

I was just going to say the same thing. R-ALA is the real deal. I think this fellow should have known that since he is proclaiming to be the expert.

@@FlexBicep Yep!

That's what I understand.

It's not helping me but cbd drops that has tumeric in I'm from S Africa it's called Relieve by Rethink Dischem Stores sell it my Lupus went into remission omega 3...1000 mg 2 x daily Cod liver oil 2 x 2 x daily

Agree with you

How long did it take. I've been taking for bout two weeks haven't noticed change yet.

I take R-Alpha Lipolic acid and Lions Mane. Been 3 months. Noticeable improvement. Get quality supplements. 3rd party tested. Made in USA. Read the labels. USDA.

if you could get raw Curcumin in your country in the wet form not dried then you could use it for drinking in milk add a pinch of black pepper too it really helped me in decreasing my pain

​ @ba-gg6jo I have heavy neoropathie and cobined with RLS. Many Docs do not know what these pains are, most of them say, there is nothing what can help. Even in hospitals the staff and docs does not realy know what it is. I come from Gernany, North Rheine Westpalia.I am 73 , my night sleep is 1 hour, I am going crazy.

Pls let me to know how to order 5 supplements help me have the nerve disorder thank you God Bless you Amen

I was pre med.. this is spot on, mag glincinate, also help w sleep + relaxation.. tu for reinforceing. What I've studied, would like ini on sibo, gut detox, though I know u r spine, have long COVID, + neck, vagus nerve needs help🙏❤️

I've had results combining RLA with high dose chelated magnesium and Lyrica. The omega 3s did nothing. But the Lyrica makes me dizzy and tired =(

Don’t use just ALA ,get RALA instead and also try vitamin b12 along with an EMS pad ,it worked wonders for me in I now can walk and stand for hours with NO pain👍

@@glennheaslip5376 , Thanks! Actually I recently added both of those, after a month using the EMS pad there seems to be some improvement… hard to say. Can I ask how much time do you typically set aside for a session? I need to be more disciplined and use it daily.

God help it work !

When I go out I take a 400.mg Ibrufen because sitting makes me stiff

I hope this has worked for

🩷

Make sure to use RALA as ALA is synthetic and of no use at all👍

Yeah, 'avoid the occasional sugars and pastries...', don't we all. Alot easier said than done. 🤐

Order online: eBay or Amazon

I take the r-lipoic acid which I have heard other people recommend above ala.

Has to be R-ALA

R-ALA and ONLY R-ALA. Make certain it contains no S-ALA or RS-ALA as these are synthetic and counterproductive. They’re cheaper to produce and manufacturers try to pass them off as the real thing but it’s a scam. Only R ALA actually works.

R-ala

To johnanderson: Hello from Texas 🙋🏻‍♀️…where can I buy R-ala ?

True , but they prove their efficiency on the long run

Hope you are feeling better. About the ALA (R Type), are you taking it on an empty stomach? I’ve read it should be taken 3 hours before / after eating. I’m taking mine at bedtime.

@@craigmichelson8552 great question. I actually get serious heartburn if I take ALA or the better version, R-ALA on an empty stomach. I can take 600mg as long as I take it immediately after eating a meal. I had been taking just 300mg at a time due to the heartburn issue. Funny thing about taking a lot of supplements for a given issue like peripheral neuropathy .... when you feel a lot better, you can't say which supplement actually helped! All I can say is that I was taking R-ALA for several weeks, and had not noticed a significant change. My feet still hurt. Then I added DoubleWood brand of Lions Mane, and within about two weeks the pain was about 50% less, and about two weeks beyond that, I could actually walk fast again through the store and elsewhere. Today it is something like 80 to 90% better than it was about two months ago. I have also been doing some exercises that are supposed to help. Basically you are seated on a chair, and then lift just your toes for about a count to 10 or 20. You then lift you heel, keeping toes on floor, and again, for a count from 10 to 20. The other exercise is with legs extended, and with heels on floor, point toes away from you in a stretch. You can stretch out fingers / arms at the same time. Again a count of 10 to 20. Then point toes towards you, same count ... and can make hands into a fist. I've been doing those exercises along with all the supplements. So maybe it all works together

It should've also been up there.

All I know is get R liporic acid

R-ALA 💯 @tigeralderman283

Yes, check that the ingredient content table lists only R ALA and no other forms of it, like S ALA. As any other form reduces the effect that of R.

R-ALA

R-ALA (🥵 As you've been waiting for so long, why not checking other credible sites on peripheral neuropathy? They all say the same thing namely R-ALA. Take it easy man, and it will propably hurt a lot less. 😶‍🌫️ Good Luck !
