Alpha-lipoic acid has been shown in scientific studies to reduce diabetic PN pain. Personally, I have been taking alpha-lipoic acid for years now since it does help with my pain, and I am not diabetic. I have proven to myself, time and time again, that my pain is worse without it. I take 600 mg per day Jarrow Alpha Lipoic Sustain with biotin. To be fair, this does contain biotin so it's possible this could be the culprit.
