Doctor's Best Benfotiamine 150 + Alpha-Lipoic Acid 300, Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free, Promotes Healthy Blood Sugar, 60 Veggie Caps

I've had some pre-diabetic neuropathy in my toes for several years and my very trusted family doc said there really wasn't much they could do about it. I am a former athlete and still stay in pretty decent shape, but I have not been able to scrunch toes down, but not raise them up, separate them, or raise up on my toes for a couple of years. Because of this, it can also be very painful to stoop down or get off the floor without support. You don't know how much toes mean till they don't work correctly. Online sources say about the same thing, that it can't really be reversed. So when I heard about Benfotiamine mixed with Alpha-Lipoic Acid, I wasn't all that hopeful. But it's a more digestible B1 [thiamine], so no sense not trying.The results after a week are astounding. I'd say the nerve pain has been cut by at least a half and I can move my toes in any direction. I still can't raise up on the toes, but I think that is potentially more about muscle loss and not doing it for so long than anything. So far I'm seeing daily improvements and am hopeful that it continues. As far as dosage, I started at 1 a day but increased to 2 per day, 1 in the morning and 1 at dinner.To this point I haven't seen any side effects or stomach issues that a few others have noted. Every body is different.

A Good supplement !!!

Great for lowing blood sugar levels easy to swallow just makes me nauseous

This is my second bottle, no problems with this product.

I’m very surprised to write that this stuff actually works. I had a DVT in my left leg, last year and it’s been a long time healing. The leg, ankle and foot were swelled up like a balloon. I could barely get around on it. Anyhow, I ended up at the ER and was given a scrip for Eliquis, in lieu of the usual “rat poison” that they give out for a DVT. The Eliquis worked on my leg and ankle and the swelling and pain went down quite a bit, over a period of months, but my foot never really followed along. The swelling subsided, but it retained a lot of pain and numbness.I saw a video on YouTube about Benfotiamine and just took a chance on it. It took maybe a week to notice any difference at all and after a month, there was a significant difference in pain and numbness in the foot. It worked! I can sleep again, without feeling shooting pain in the top of my foot and the toes and I have almost normal feeling in my whole foot. It’s way better.
