Feet that stop burning when you lie down, toes that feel the floor again, and nights you finally sleep through.
Nerve Comfort for Burning Feet, Numb Toes & Sleep
Trusted by 50,000+ customersTwo capsules a day with food for 30 days. Pay attention to the first half hour after you lie down, and to your toes on the bathroom tile in the morning. If you are not glad you bought it, send us a message and you get a full refund. Nothing to ship back.
Alpha-lipoic acid calms the misfiring. Years of high sugar leave the small nerves in your feet firing static: burning, tingling, shocks. ALA dissolves in both water and fat, so it gets into the nerve itself. 600 mg a day is the amount used in the studies, and "lower doses don't seem to work."
Benfotiamine gets B1 into the nerve. Nerves use vitamin B1 to repair themselves, and diabetics burn through it. Regular B1 washes out in hours. Benfotiamine is the fat-soluble B1 that "actually gets into the nerves," at 150 mg per serving.
Methyl B12 rebuilds the wiring. B12 keeps the coating on every nerve fiber. After 50 you absorb less of it, and metformin lowers it further. 500 mcg of methyl B12, the form your nerves use, not the cheap cyano kind.
Every order ships free and tracked from our US warehouse, and the tracking number is emailed the moment it leaves. You have 30 days from delivery to decide. If it is not for you, send us a message and you get every cent back, with nothing to ship back.
The last bottle was half the dose. "Lower doses of alpha-lipoic acid don't seem to work." Walgreens and Amazon sell 100, 200 and 300 mg. The studies used 600 mg a day, and that is what two of these capsules give you.
The last bottle had no benfotiamine. "ALA helps me a little but benfotiamine has made a big difference." Plain B1 does not reach the nerve. Benfotiamine does, and it is in here at 150 mg.
If it still does nothing, you pay nothing. Take it with breakfast and dinner for the full 30 days. If your nights are no quieter, send us a message and every cent comes back. Nothing to ship.

| Thiamine (Vitamin B1)as thiamine HCl | 5 mg |

Other ingredients: vegetable cellulose capsule.
Take 1 capsule with breakfast and 1 capsule with dinner, each with a full glass of water. Do not take on an empty stomach. Do not exceed 2 capsules in 24 hours.
How long did you take it before you started to see it helping the tingling?
A few people feel it in days. Most notice the first change in weeks three to six: the burning at bedtime starts later and fades sooner. The studies ran 12 weeks, so judge it at the end of the third bottle, not the first week. If 30 days go by and you feel nothing, every cent comes back.
What if it does nothing for me, like the last bottle?
The last bottle was almost certainly 100, 200 or 300 mg with no benfotiamine. Lower doses of alpha-lipoic acid do not seem to work. Two of these capsules give you the 600 mg the studies used, plus 150 mg of benfotiamine. If that still does nothing for you in 30 days, send us a message for a full refund.
Can I take it with metformin or my other meds?
Most customers take it alongside metformin. Metformin lowers B12, which is one reason the 500 mcg of methyl B12 is in here. Alpha-lipoic acid can lower blood sugar. If you take insulin or a sulfonylurea, take it with a meal and check your meter more often the first two weeks. If you take thyroid medicine, take this a couple of hours apart from it, and show your doctor the bottle.
Is it R-ALA or the regular kind? My last bottle had neither on it.
It is regular alpha-lipoic acid, the 50/50 kind, at 600 mg a day. That is the form and the amount used in the nerve studies. The R-only bottles cost two to four times more, and many people who switched found them no better. The form and the milligrams are on the label.
I read people have had hair loss on ALA. Is that true?
Some people report it, usually at 1,200 mg or more. ALA uses up biotin, and that is the usual cause. The fix customers already use is a biotin tablet taken at a different time of day from the capsules. At 600 mg with food, almost nobody reports it.
ALA gave me heartburn last time. Will this one?
Heartburn comes from taking it on an empty stomach, usually 600 mg at once. These are two capsules, one with breakfast and one with dinner, each with a full glass of water. If your stomach is sensitive, start with one capsule a day for the first three or four days, then go to two. Stay upright for an hour after.
Why does my urine smell?
That is the alpha-lipoic acid, and it is harmless. It is a sulfur smell, the same thing asparagus does, and it passes quickly. For most people it fades within a couple of weeks.
What is benfotiamine and why not regular B1?
Regular vitamin B1 dissolves in water and leaves in your urine within hours, so very little reaches the nerve. Benfotiamine is the fat-soluble kind. It crosses into nerve tissue and raises B1 levels there several times higher. The 150 mg here sits beside the full 600 mg of ALA, and the drugstore ALA bottles leave it out.
Is it the real thing?
Every bottle ships from our US warehouse, never through a marketplace seller. Every batch is checked by an independent lab for the ALA and benfotiamine amounts and for heavy metals, and the lot number on the bottle matches the certificate. If you ever doubt it is doing anything, skip it for three days. If your feet get worse, you have your answer.
What if it does not work for me?
You have 30 days from delivery. Finish the bottle, and if your nights are not quieter, send us a message and every cent comes back. Nothing to ship back.
I had a 300 mg bottle from Walgreens that did nothing for a year, so I figured this was more expensive pee. Gave it one bottle on the calendar. Did not need the whole bottle.Gene R. · Tucson

Why it keeps happening
You are fine all day. You go to bed around ten, and half an hour in, "my soles start to burn and I can not go to sleep." Then the sheets rub your toes and it feels like "ants biting them." Some nights you get up and walk the hall, because standing hurts less than lying down.
The doctor pokes your feet with the little wire, says "watch your sugar," and sees you in a year. Gabapentin takes the edge off and leaves you "loopy" by mid-morning. Nobody tells you the two nutrients your nerves have run short on, or that the drugstore bottle is half the dose that worked in the studies.
"3 tablets is only a 10-day supply so I did feel a little bit ripped off." Large tablets, over 20 additives, no benfotiamine, and the cheap cyano B12.
"Lower doses of alpha-lipoic acid don't seem to work." One customer ordered 100 mg by mistake and "after about 3 weeks was in agony again."
"Made me loopy." "Gained 30 pounds." "I'm more gabapentin than man these days." They dull the pain and fog the day, and they do nothing for the nerve itself.
How it works
Three things in two capsules, with ALA at the 600 mg the studies used.
Years of high sugar leave the small nerves in your feet firing static: burning, tingling, shocks. ALA dissolves in both water and fat, so it gets into the nerve itself. 600 mg a day is the amount used in the studies, and "lower doses don't seem to work."
Nerves use vitamin B1 to repair themselves, and diabetics burn through it. Regular B1 washes out in hours. Benfotiamine is the fat-soluble B1 that "actually gets into the nerves," at 150 mg per serving.
B12 keeps the coating on every nerve fiber. After 50 you absorb less of it, and metformin lowers it further. 500 mcg of methyl B12, the form your nerves use, not the cheap cyano kind.
Supports healthy nerves and healthy blood sugar. Not a replacement for your medication.
What changes
Alpha-lipoic acid at 600 mg a day has more human studies for nerve pain than any other supplement. Here is what customers say changed, in the order it tends to happen.
The soles stop heating up half an hour after you lie down. The sheets stop hurting your toes. Most people notice it in weeks three to six.
The tight socks feeling and the duct tape feeling lift. You feel the carpet, the tub floor and the gas pedal under your foot.
The methyl B12 and the steadier blood sugar show up first, often inside two weeks, as a lighter afternoon.
Alpha-lipoic acid helps your body use insulin. Customers who check their meter see the morning number come down 10 to 20 points.

A podiatrist’s view
Dr. Samuel Reyes has spent 21 years looking at feet that burn, tingle and go numb.
Every week someone sits in my chair and tells me their feet feel like they are standing on gravel, or that the sheets hurt at night. I check the sensation with the wire, I look at the A1c, and I tell them the same four things. Six hundred milligrams of alpha-lipoic acid a day, not 100, not 300. Benfotiamine, because plain B1 does not get into the nerve. B12 as methylcobalamin, especially if you are on metformin. And take it with food, every day, for six weeks before you judge it. Most bottles on the shelf fail at least two of those. This one passes all four, and the milligrams are on the front where you can read them.
What to expect
Nerves heal slowly. This is the pattern in the reviews.
A few people feel the tingling ease "within a day or so." For most, nothing yet. Your urine may smell like asparagus; that is the ALA and it is harmless.
The bedtime burning starts later and fades sooner. "It took a good 3 weeks when I began to notice a difference."
"At 6 weeks there was a big noticeable difference." Hot spots fade, numb toes start reporting the floor, and the meter runs steadier.
This is where the studies measured. If you ever doubt it is doing anything, skip three days. "If it gets worse you know it was doing something."

For two years I slept with my feet hanging off the end of the mattress because the sheets on my toes felt like fire. My wife bought this after my podiatrist said 600 and the Walgreens kind was 300. Week five I woke up at six with my feet under the covers and had not noticed getting there. Morning number is down 11 points too, which the doctor liked.
Had that woolly socks feeling in both feet most of last year and could not tell hot from cold in the tub. Two months on these, one with my eggs and one with supper. Last Tuesday I stepped off the porch barefoot to get the paper and felt that the concrete was cold. Sat right down on the step and laughed.
I do not believe in most of this stuff. Weeks one through three, nothing, and I almost sent it back. Week four the hot spots on the balls of my feet started to back off, and by the end of the bottle they are mostly gone at night. Four stars because it is slow and the capsules are bigger than my metformin. Ordered three more anyway.
Gabapentin took the stabbing away but I was loopy by ten in the morning and could not drive my grandson to school. Started these in June and cut the gabapentin with my doctor in August. The pins and needles are down to a flutter at bedtime and my head is my own again. I take them with a Coke, old habit.
Drugstore 300 mg for a year, nothing to show for it. My pharmacist said look for benfotiamine with it, and this is the only bottle I found with both. The electric jolts in my left foot went from every night to maybe once a week in about seven weeks. Skipped it on a fishing trip and the buzzing was back by day three. Lesson learned, I don't skip it now.
My husband has the foot thing. I have the hand thing, waking up and shaking my hands to get the feeling back, stiff like arthritis. We split a bottle at first, then bought the three-pack. Eight weeks in he is back on his morning walk and I can open a jar before coffee. Smells a little, worth it.
Feet are quiet.
Third week, less tingling.
he stopped icing his feet at night.
pee smells like asparagus for an hour, didn't care, feet don't burn
Can feel the brake pedal under my right foot again. Wife let me drive to church Sunday.
Nothing for three weeks, I figured it was going on the pile of pills lol. Week five my toes stopped stinging in bed.

The question everyone asks
"Expensive pee" is what most people got from the drugstore kind. Here is why this one is different.
"Lower doses of alpha-lipoic acid don't seem to work." Walgreens and Amazon sell 100, 200 and 300 mg. The studies used 600 mg a day, and that is what two of these capsules give you.
"ALA helps me a little but benfotiamine has made a big difference." Plain B1 does not reach the nerve. Benfotiamine does, and it is in here at 150 mg.
Take it with breakfast and dinner for the full 30 days. If your nights are no quieter, send us a message and every cent comes back. Nothing to ship.
