May I ask what brand of Grape Seed Extract you use?

Thanks!

There are many quality brands and probably a lot of not quality. Choose top companies like Jarrow, Source Naturals, Swansons brand is good, I used it for years...I mostly now go to Olympian Labs as it's a good price and high quality. Make sure to take enough for body weight, good starting point is 100mg for a little and while and move to 200mg...I can explain more if you'd like. Work with dosing for your body and needs. If you have a truly chronic issue, start higher that's called a loading dose.

Know that if one is taking Pharma blood thinner then can't take both...

caroline2,

Thank you for your detailed response.

While I have bilateral leg/ankle/foot nerve pain that hasn't been diagnosed in 3 long years, I thought I'd try this just to see if it could take the edge off the pain as I'm desperate.

I guess I hit the jackpot because I ordered Olympian Labs from Amazon last night and it should be here tomorrow.

My body weight is approximately 125 lbs and I got the 100mg tablets.

If you don't mind responding again, should I start off with 100mgs once a day for a week and then bump up to 200mgs the following week?

Since I have a chronic issue with nerve pain and have been mostly bedridden, what "loading dose" should I start on in your opinion?

Thank you!

Since you are a "lightweight" start with 100mg daily and MAYBE eventually do 100mg twice a day every other day. Learn to work with it for your body, if you are prone to loose bowels, go slowly. I'm not so I have no issues.

On your foot nerve pain issues, I've never been to a doc on this, I know what I am dealing with..Heard enough here from others for sure. The burn/tingle etc etc..and I don't want pharma drugs, this is plain and simple in my life. I had some nasty burning this morning in my feet before I was getting out of bed and I just rubbed my feet and then shortly rubbed my Topricin for Pain and it's like such RELIEF. I buy my Topricin for Pain or For Foot Pain on Amazon or Ebay as they have best prices and I buy 8 oz bottle.

I just don't see it all going away in my life, nerve damage that is, it hit me at 72 and I'm soon 82. It all can become more manageable I believe. Good luck and don't hesitate to ask anything. c
