Alpha lipoic acid. This fat and water soluble antioxidant can protect
nerve cells from further damage and assist in the repair of damaged
nerve cells. A trained and qualified health care professional should
determine the dosage that is right for you. In most cases, you will
start with 300mg with each meal.
• L-arginine. This important amino acid improves blood flow,
an important step in repairing nerve damage. A dose of 250 mg three
times daily is the starting dose. Note that patients with a history of
Herpes should not take this amino acid as it has been implicated in an
increase in outbreaks.
• Omega-3s and omega-6s. Since nerve cells depend on fat for
repair and healthy function, supplementing with these important fats
can create great imrpovements in DPN.
A blood test is often used to examine RBC levels of these fats to
determine specific needs. Since both omega 3's and 6's need to be in
ideal balance in DPN, it is best to determine actual blood cell levels
for optimum dosing.
