Peripheral neuropathy is a condition where patients have pain and numbness in the hands and feet. Most commonly associated with diabetic patients, it also occurs in those that have nerve pressure, vitamin deficiency, kidney or liver disease, alcohol abuse, HIV, and those receiving cancer treatments. Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is being researched as a treatment for nerve damage in cancer and diabetic patients. ALA is both water and fat-soluble and is active in almost every cell in the body fighting and neutralizing free radicals. Studies have shown that when diabetics were given 200mg of ALA, they noticed a reduction in pain 21 days later. [1]
If you suffer from peripheral neuropathy, ask your doctor about the benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid. It could be the treatment you’ve been waiting for!
