Has anyone ever taken Alpha Lipoic Acid before? This is what it is and does.

@A MyLupusTeam Member, the antioxidant effect of ALA is great in diabetics for neuropathy, as HenryEy notes. It is found in lots of veggies, so eating a healthful diet is a good way to get it in.
I hope it helps @A MyLupusTeam Member. Keep us posted.
I was told to try it to see if it would help my restless leg that happened off and on and also that it could help my Fibromyalgia nerve pain. It stopped the restless leg and and took some pains away and lessened others.
@sgriffin5 What do you take it for?
I have taken 600 mg of ALA daily for 3 years after my primary care doctor recommended it to help with neuropathy caused by lupus in feet, legs, hands, and arms. My podiatrist also recommended it. No side effects, and I think it is good for cell repair too.
