Supplements: Alpha lipoic acid and magnesium

Alpha Lipoic Acid: This is an important supplement to help with regeneration of myelin (an important protective coating which covers nerves). With many illnesses, myelin is destroyed. When there is little to no myelin, neuropathy (pain caused by nerves) occurs. This frequently manifests in diabetics, but genetic and auto-immune diseases are known also to affect the rate at which myelin is produced. Alpha lipoic acid is a needed building material for your body to regenerate myelin. Taking ALA will not instantly correct nerve pain. It takes time for your body to regenerate myelin. For me, I started noticing a decrease in neuropathy after about 3 months of daily usage. It took about  one year to see the maximum effect of the supplement. Once the maximum effect is achieved, the supplement must be continued daily to maintain the needed supply of ALA.

Magnesium: A wonderful mineral to help alleviate muscle pain and muscle cramps. I take this daily. When I am having really bad spasms and cramps, I will take a few more capsules. Also, epsom salts are incredible. If you are in a lot of muscle pain, fill a tub with warm water and epsom salts and soak. Ah, relief!
