David, the reason I'm here, is because of Femoral Nerve Damage from a hip replacement in 2010...my whole right thigh is numb....

I've been taking Alpha Lipoic Sustain from Jarrow and it's a 300mg tab. Someone told me about this Sustain product so I bought it.

I also have a bottle of ALC from Vitacost which is 300mg.

Some days, I take 2 of the above.


It seems some of the tingling is going away on my thigh but I also take 2 other nerve issue supps and they can be helping too.

If it says take with meals, then that's what one should do. Otherwise, it says on the bottles just to take, so it doesn't matter. Many supps can work better when NOT mixed up with our foods...I go both ways with my supps.

I've never had issues with supps and I'm taking them over 25 yrs, but I did have issues with drugs years earlier, hence why I do what I do...work with MOST supps.

My other two nerve supps I take are: Sphingolin and Inosine


I use topical creams on all my joints (OA) and feet and my thigh...Comfrey salve is a good healer I've been reading. I have a Christophers bone and tissue salve and it contains comfrey.
