While Alpha Lipoic Acid is a versatile water and fat soluble metabolic antioxidant that supports the body in potent free radical quenching and aids other vitamins in their antioxidant activities therby helping with various forms of Diabetes, I have been unable to find any conclusive information that suggests it will help with the pain associated with Diabetic Neuropathy.
A product recommendation that you may be interested in for the condition you described is Evening Primrose Oil. Evening primrose oil contains substantial amounts of polysaturated omega-6 fatty acids, essential fatty acids (EFAs), which are needed by the body to regulate a number of activities including insulin utilization, cardiovascular function, and mood. Since the body does not produce EFAs, they must be ingested through proper diet or supplementation. In addition to omega-6 fatty acids, evening primrose oil contains linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Both linoleic acid and GLA are believed to have very positive health and medicinal indications. Linoleic acid may affect how the body utilizes insulin, maintains weight, and fights Cancer and heart disease. GLA may help to inhibit the body's production of chemicals that cause inflammation. Consequently, Evening Primrose Oil has been used in connection with inflammatory conditions including both Rheumatoid Arthritis, Asthma and Diabetic Neuropathy. Some studies have also suggested that evening primrose oil may be useful in treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), but more research is needed before evening primrose oil can be recommended for that condition.
