Studies show that supplementation with alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) likely has positive effects on peripheral neuropathy.1,2,3,4,5,6,7 Based on the research that has been done on ALA, I would recommend it for patients with peripheral neuropathy, and those predisposed to developing it.
If you are planning to purchase ALA, make sure that you purchase a brand that has implemented high manufacturing control practices. Supplements are not regulated by the FDA, and can have a large variety of harmful contaminants, be sure to protect you health.
