More mobility

I am skeptical about any vitamin claims, most are a waste of money. Still being desperate to aid in my pain I tried on bottle. I was actually surprised about taking Benfotiamine Alpha-Lipoic. After neck surgery "Cervical Laminoplasty"(on Oct. 2012) I was still left with burning and stiffness on hands and feet even after 9 months since surgery. Taking this Doc's Best once a day I started to get more movement in left hand (my worst hand)and less burning sensation during the day. I still have light burning and itching in my hands when going to bed at night but in the morning the feeling is disappearing sooner as I warm up for daily activities. Besides my operation I give this product a A for actually making a difference in my life in a beneficial way. I have not ever experience such a physical sudden difference in taking a vitamin befor. In fact I have stop taking vitamins years ago knowing that it was a waste of $ but I am glad I gave this stuff a try. Will be ordering auto monthly from now on

I wasn't expecting much, but got it anyway.

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

The Best

This is the best mixture for neuropathy (diabetic and otherwise). Eventually moved up to two a day, which causes smelly urine, but relieved 90% of neuropathy symptoms in feet. Be consistent, use common sense care practices. And get your feet back. The best, least expensive gift I ever got myself

Excellent product

This helps a lot with the pain of peripheral neuropathy, often seeming to work as good, or better, than prescription gabapentin

I slept eight hours straight and my legs felt so much better. I thought it could be placebo

I had tried many things. The only thing that would provide pain relief was Tramadol and I didn't want to take that on a regular basis. The last doctor visit put me over the edge when they wanted to put me on something I did not want to take. I had been reading about ALA for years and this product for months. I came home and ordered it and took it two nights later. It was the first night in almost six months that I slept more than six hours. I slept eight hours straight and my legs felt so much better. I thought it could be placebo, but at that point I didn't care as I just wanted relief. I have been taking it since early November 2015 and it has made such an improvement in my quality of life. My legs aren't hurting anymore, I don't have an incessant need to move my legs and crack my ankles, and I am still sleeping much better. My father has neuropathy so I got him to try it. He has been taking it since late November 2015 and has noticed enough improvement to continue taking it

Curbs my Appetite. Plus More Energy. Cuts the Carvings for Bad Carbs.

Dr Eric Berg did a You Tube video on Vitamin. B1. He explained that if you eat too many Carbs it depletes the B1 in your body. That is bad since B1 helps to curb your appetite and gives you so much energy and helps metabolize carbs. He recommended getting a Benfotiamine product since it has some fat in it that helps it cross the Blood Brain Barrier of our Brain to do its job as mentioned above. I've even lost a few pounds. I chose Doctors Best since I'm familiar with their products. This product is Great for those with a Sweet tooth that doesn't quit. My weakness was ice cream. I could not pass it up. Now I can pass the freezer and don't even want the ice cream. Try it you will like it too

It works!

I had fallen n broke my ankle at age 62. First ever broken bone. Very serious. Approximately 1.5 yrs later I started feeling tongling in my fpot and thought It was scare tissue pressuring a nerve. Within 2 weeks of using this I was like new. Used often for diabetic peripheral neuropathy but find that it helps with my siatic flate ups also. Great product

This works!

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
