Alpha-Lipoic Acid & Benfotiamine
Medical-grade nerve support for diabetic neuropathy
About ALA + Benfotiamine
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a powerful antioxidant clinically studied for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 that supports healthy nerve signaling. Together they are one of the most evidence-backed nerve-support protocols in podiatry.
Why patients use it
Reduces burning & tingling
ALA decreases oxidative damage to peripheral nerves and may reduce neuropathic pain within 4–8 weeks.
Supports nerve repair
Benfotiamine raises intracellular thiamine and helps protect nerves from glucose-driven damage.
Improves microcirculation
ALA has vasodilatory properties that increase blood flow to the small nerves in the feet.
Pairs with diabetic foot care
Works alongside good glucose control, daily foot inspection, and regular visits to Dr. Lyons.
Typical use
Most patients start with ALA 600 mg daily and benfotiamine 300 mg twice daily. Dosing is adjusted based on symptoms, kidney function, and other medications. Always confirm dosing with Dr. Lyons.
Educational information only — always confirm dosing with Dr. Lyons, especially if you take prescription medications or have kidney or liver disease.
