How to use
+
Take 3 capsules once daily with a meal— breakfast or lunch is ideal. That's the full 600mg clinical dose of stabilized R-Alpha Lipoic Acid your nerves need, delivered the way German doctors have prescribed it for decades.
Our slow-release capsule is designed to absorb well even when taken with food, so you don't have to worry about timing it perfectly — and it's gentle on the stomach. Take it daily without skipping. The trials that backed this formula measured results over weeks and months of consistent use, not days. Stay with it.
Can R-ALA help with non-diabetic neuropathy?
+
R-ALA isn’t exclusive to people with diabetes. It supports the body’s antioxidant defenses and healthy nerve function, so it may also be relevant for neuropathy caused by other factors.
However, most clinical research has focused on diabetic peripheral neuropathy, while evidence for other types of neuropathy is still limited and mixed.
Are there any side effects?
+
R-ALA is generally well tolerated, and most people take it without any issues. Unlike standard capsules that release the entire dose at once, our slow-release granules deliver R-ALA gradually. This is designed to be gentler on the stomach and help minimize occasional digestive discomfort. Individual tolerance can still vary.
Because R-ALA may lower blood sugar, speak with your healthcare provider if you take blood-sugar-lowering medication.
What about Stomach Burning?
+
Some standard ALA supplements may cause occasional stomach burning or heartburn because the full dose is released at once.
Our capsules use slow-release granules, which gradually release the R-ALA instead of dumping the entire dose into your stomach at once.
This is designed to be gentler on the stomach and minimize digestive discomfort. Most people tolerate R-ALA well, although individual responses can vary.
Ingredients
+
Each capsule contains 200mg of stabilized R-Alpha Lipoic Acid in its pure R-form — the biologically active form your nerve cells actually recognize. Delivered in a slow-release capsule for support over 8 hours. No fillers. No proprietary blends. No racemic S-form that blocks the active ingredient from doing its job. What you see on the label is exactly what is in the capsule at the exact dose the clinical trials used.
How long before I notice a difference?
+
R-ALA is not an instant pain reliever—it works best when taken consistently.
In clinical studies of oral alpha-lipoic acid for diabetic neuropathy, improvements were assessed after approximately 3–5 weeks.
Some people may notice changes sooner, while others may require longer, and results vary from person to person.

"I was on gabapentin for 4 years. Gained 35 pounds, could not think straight at work, and my feet were still burning every single night. My doctor kept increasing the dose and nothing changed. I started researching on my own and found out about the R-form versus the regular ALA I had already tried. Ordered Root of Nature, took it every night at 600mg. After about 3 weeks the burning started quieting down. I actually slept 6 hours straight for the first time in years. I stopped taking it for a month just to test it. Symptoms came back within 2 weeks. Started again and within 10 days I was sleeping again. That test told me everything I needed to know. I am off gabapentin completely now. My head is clear, I am down 18 pounds just from dropping the drug, and I can finally feel the floor under my feet in the morning without dreading the day."

"I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy at 48 and I spent three years thinking this was just my life now. The burning was making it impossible to do my job. I tried every supplement on Amazon. Nerve Renew, B vitamins, standard alpha lipoic acid, nothing touched it. My neurologist offered gabapentin and I refused because I watched what it did to my patients. I started reading about the R-form versus racemic ALA and it was the first thing that actually made sense to me scientifically. Why had I been taking a supplement where half the capsule was working against the other half. I ordered Root of Nature and took it consistently for 5 weeks. The tingling in my feet started fading around week three. By week five I was completing full shifts without counting down the hours until I could sit down. I am not pain free but I am functional again and for the first time in three years I actually believe this is not going to keep getting worse."

"I had not been down on the floor with my granddaughter in 3 years. The burning in my feet was so bad at night I barely slept and during the day I just sat and watched her play. My daughter kept telling me to try something new but I had already tried everything. A friend mentioned Root of Nature R-ALA and honestly I ordered it thinking it would be the same story. Six weeks later I was sitting on the floor building blocks with her. I cried the whole time. My husband thought something was wrong. Nothing was wrong. Everything was finally right."
What To Expect – And How To Know It's Working
You've done the careful trial before and seen nothing. Here is what to watch for this time.
Week 1-2
Your stomach should stay calm
This is the window where standard ALA usually bites back with heartburn or nausea. Our slow-release granules let the dose out gradually, so most people take it with a meal and notice nothing in the stomach. In the feet, not much yet either, and that is normal.
Week 3-4
The first shift
This is where people most often notice the burning and tingling start to quiet down. In the clinical trials, symptom scores were measured at 3 to 5 weeks. Keep a short note each evening: burning 1-10, tingling 1-10, hours slept. Then you can see it in black and white instead of guessing.
Week 5-8
Proof you can read
Look back at your notes. Lower numbers, fewer bad nights, a little more feeling in the feet. This is the honest test most people never get to give ALA, because the wrong form or an upset stomach made them quit first.
Beyond 8 Weeks
Keep the ground you've won
In the 4-year NATHAN 1 trial, people taking 600 mg of ALA a day had leg nerve scores that held up better than on placebo. The goal is not one good week. It is stopping the slow creep, and keeping it stopped.
The Only Choice That Actually Works
Most ALA sold in America is a 50/50 mix: half the R-form your body makes, half a synthetic mirror image it doesn't. Released all at once, it is also what gives so many people heartburn. Root of Nature is pure, stabilized R-ALA in slow-release granules.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our products, shipping, returns, and more.
I already tried ALA and it did nothing. Why would this be different?
+
Most "Alpha Lipoic Acid" sold in America, including the top sellers at GNC, Walmart and Amazon, is the cheap racemic form: a 50/50 mix of the natural R-form your body makes and a synthetic S-form it doesn't. That's the version most people try, feel little from, and write off as "ALA doesn't work."
Root of Nature is pure, stabilized R-ALA at 600 mg a day, the same daily amount the major clinical trials used, in a slow-release capsule whose granules let the dose out gradually instead of all at once. That is what makes it gentle on the stomach, where standard ALA often causes heartburn and nausea.
My stomach couldn't take ALA. Will this be the same?
+
Heartburn, nausea and a burning throat are the most common reasons people quit ALA, usually within days and before it ever had a chance to help. They happen because a regular capsule dumps the whole acidic dose into your stomach at once.
Our capsule is filled with slow-release granules that let the R-ALA out gradually over hours. Take it with a meal and most people notice nothing in the stomach. Individual tolerance can still vary, and if it doesn't sit right with you, our 60-day guarantee has you covered.
I already take R-ALA. What's different here?
+
Plain R-ALA is fragile: heat and light make it break down, and a normal capsule still releases it all at once. Ours is stabilized R-ALA, so the R-form stays intact, and it comes in slow-release granules for about 8 hours of steady supply instead of a short spike.
And it's the full 600 mg a day, the amount used in the major trials. Many R-ALA products give you far less.
Does it actually work or is this just good marketing?
+
Fair question, and one we'd be asking too. Don't take our word for it. Look at the research on alpha lipoic acid itself.
In the SYDNEY 2 trial (2006), people with diabetic nerve damage took 600 mg of ALA by mouth once a day. After 5 weeks their symptom score (burning, pain, tingling, numbness) had dropped by 51%, versus 32% on placebo. In NATHAN 1, a 4-year trial with 460 patients, leg nerve scores held up better on 600 mg a day than on placebo. In Germany, ALA has been a licensed pharmacy medicine for diabetic nerve symptoms for decades.
Those trials used standard ALA, and half of standard ALA is a mirror-image form your body doesn't make. Root of Nature gives you the same 600 mg, as only the R-form, in a slow-release capsule. We didn't run those studies. We simply built the formula around them.
Does it affect blood sugar?
+
It may. Studies have found that alpha lipoic acid can support healthy fasting blood sugar and insulin sensitivity, which is good news for many people with nerve problems.
It also means: if you take insulin or other blood-sugar medication, talk to your doctor before you start, and keep checking your numbers as usual.
