I have been taking R-Alpha Lipoic Acid 300 mg in the morning and 300 mg at bedtime for my neuropathy. Started this routine about 3 weeks ago and have noticed that my pain is alot less,not completely gone,but tolerable. I will say that these capsules do give me heartburn within minutes of taking,but I just chew a couple of antacid tablets and I'm good to go.
