Numb feet, burning soles, steps you can't trust. R-ALA goes after the nerve side of it: 600 mg of the form your body makes, in a slow-release capsule, so walking stops being something you plan your whole day around.
Stabilized R-ALA 600mg – Nerve Support for Steadier Steps & Numb, Burning Feet
- Supports feeling in numb feet, so each step lands where you expect
- Helps ease the burning that cuts every walk short
- Pure R-form: only the half of ALA your body makes
- Slow-release capsule, steady support for about 8 hours
- 600 mg daily, the amount studied in the clinical trials
- No fog, no dizziness: not a nerve-pain drug
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

What Real Customers Are Saying
What To Expect – Your Path Back To Walking On Your Own
Most solutions promise overnight results. We will tell you the truth instead.
Building your stores
R-ALA starts building up in your nerve cells and working against the oxidative stress that has been wearing them down. Most people don't feel much yet, and that is normal. Keep doing your walks and exercises the way your therapist or doctor told you. This is the foundation.
The burning lets you go a little further
This is the window where people most often notice the first shift. The burning eases, the pins and needles quiet down, and the walk to the car or around the block costs a little less. In the clinical trials, symptom scores were measured at 3 to 5 weeks.
Your feet start to feel like yours
Steps feel less like walking on stilts or gravel. Less holding on to counters and shopping carts, less counting steps, more saying yes to outings. Keep taking it every day. Nerves recover slowly, and steady use is what counts.
The day you walk without thinking about it
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 keeping the ground you have won, and getting back to living your own life.

No, and it isn't meant to. Keep every aid and every exercise that keeps you safe. Physical therapy trains the muscles and balance; R-ALA supports the nerves that carry the signals from your feet. The two work on different parts of the same problem, which is why many people use both.
Once your feet feel more like yours again, you and your therapist can decide together when to step down from walker to cane, or cane to nothing.
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.
We want to be straight with you, because you've probably been burned by promises before. The published clinical trials measured meaningful improvement at around 3 to 5 weeks of daily use.
Some people notice a change earlier, others take longer, especially if the numbness has been creeping up for years. Walking and balance usually follow the feeling in the feet, so give it time.
Give it at least 60 days at the full 600 mg dose before you decide. That's what our 60-day guarantee is for.
R-ALA is not a nerve-pain drug and it does not work on your brain the way gabapentin or Lyrica do. No fog, no drowsiness, no weight gain, no dependency. In the trials, side effects at 600 mg were mild; nausea and dizziness showed up mainly at the higher doses of 1200 mg and up.
The most common complaint with standard ALA is stomach upset, which is exactly why ours comes in a slow-release capsule. Because R-ALA may lower blood sugar, talk to your doctor if you take blood-sugar medication.
