Welcome to NeuroTalk.
We discuss methylcobalamin (active form of B12) and ALA on our PN forum:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum20.html
Here is the B12 thread explaining all about it:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread85103.html
ALA has a new form, more effective and more potent:
called r-lipoic acid. This form you only need 100mg once or twice a day. ALA is a mixture of r-lipoic and an inactive version...so using it is rather redundant today.
To the best of my knowledge, r-lipoic is not in mixtures yet.
Methylcobalamin should be taken if your B12 tests show below 400. You really should get tested to see where you are. Not all neuropathies are due to low B12.
