    Soles of feet, not painful, but extremely sensitive to touch and a medium numbness. Sensitivity is all but gone. Mild numbness still present, but easily tolerated.

    Comment:
    I really hate using star ratings because I havenâ??t been able to use it long enough to realize its effectiveness on my neuropathy because of the intense heartburn I experienced. After only two days of using the Alpha-Lipoic Acid, my heartburn was the worse I have had in years. I have GERD and already take medication for that; so am not wanting to take anything else to counter the heartburn ... Show Full Comment

    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.
