I want to hear back from you after you try it for about a week or two. I noticed a difference in just a few days.

You might want to add biotin to that supplement ... best taken several hours after the lipoic acid. 5-10mg a day (which is a large dose) is most likely needed. Lipoic acid and biotin share the same transporters in the body and compete with each other.
Start at 5mg a day, and perhaps raise it if you feel you need the higher dose.
Here is more on biotin...

Biotin is relatively safe.... there is no upper toxic limit for it established by the FDA.
I get my biotin at Puritan's Pride... not expensive at all.
