| Root of Nature | Nerve pills | Cane & walker | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Numbness, burning, tingling | ✓Studied at 600 mg | ✗Nothing for the numbness | Doesn’t touch it |
| Dizzy or drowsy | ✓Not a sedative | ✗Dizzy, “loopy”, sleepy | ✓ |
| What it asks of you | 3 capsules at breakfast | Pills through the day | Cane, then walker, then wheelchair |
1. Numbness, burning and tingling down 51% in 5 weeks.
In the SYDNEY 2 study, people with diabetic nerve damage took 600 mg of alpha lipoic acid a day. Their nerve symptom scores (numbness, burning, tingling and pain) dropped by 51% in 5 weeks (32% on placebo).
That’s the dose in every serving of Root of Nature.
2. Nerve pills make you dizzy, and one fall is all it takes to lose your independence.
Gabapentin, Lyrica and Cymbalta did nothing for the numbness, and left a lot of people dizzy, “loopy” and sleeping all day. Some refuse them for exactly that reason: they make falling more likely.
The cane and the walker hold you up. But the nerves in your feet keep fading. R-ALA supports the nerves themselves, and it’s not a sedative.
3. In Germany, pharmacies sell it as a medicine for nerve symptoms.
The nerves in the soles of your feet tell your brain where the ground is. They’re at the end of the longest nerves in your body, so they’re hit first. When they go quiet, you start looking down at every step.
In Germany, alpha lipoic acid is sold in pharmacies as a licensed medicine for symptoms of diabetic nerve damage. Most ALA on US shelves is a 50/50 mix, and half of it is a mirror-image form your body doesn’t make. Ours is 600 mg of only the R-form, the one your body makes itself.
4. 3 capsules with breakfast. No stair lift, no shower chair, no rebuilt home.
You’ve already moved your life around your feet: the rail on the stairs, the shower chair, maybe the bedroom downstairs. This asks for nothing like that.
3 capsules with breakfast, released over about 8 hours. Nothing to install, nothing to learn.
5. A 4-year study: 600 mg a day kept nerve damage from getting worse.
In the 4-year NATHAN 1 trial, people with diabetic nerve damage took 600 mg of alpha lipoic acid every day. Their nerve damage was kept from getting worse, while it kept progressing on placebo.
6. 60 days to try it. You have nothing to lose.

Before you start.
I take gabapentin or Lyrica. Can I take this?
R-ALA is not a sedative. Keep taking what your doctor prescribed, and talk to your doctor before you start or change anything.
Will it make me dizzy or sleepy?
No. R-ALA is not a sedative and nothing habit-forming.
How do I take it?
3 capsules once a day with a meal — breakfast is ideal. That’s the full 600 mg daily dose, released over about 8 hours.
I have diabetes. Is that a problem?
Alpha lipoic acid can lower blood sugar. If you take diabetes medication, keep testing as usual and talk to your doctor before you start.
Are there side effects?
The most common one is mild nausea, which is why the capsule releases slowly and you take it with a meal.
What’s in the capsule?
600 mg of stabilized R-Alpha Lipoic Acid in its pure R-form per 3 capsules. No fillers, no proprietary blends, no racemic S-form. Lab tested.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
