90-Day Guarantee

Try it for a full 90 days. If you don't feel a real, noticeable difference in your burning, tingling, numbness, or sleep — we refund every penny. No return shipping. No restocking fee. No 47-question survey.

We give you 90 days because nerve repair takes time — not the 30-day window most companies offer that barely covers shipping. Use the entire bottle. If it doesn't work, you pay nothing.

You risked everything to survive cancer. Risk nothing to feel alive again.

The Science Behind It

R-Alpha Lipoic Acid has been used clinically in Germany since 1966 for peripheral neuropathy. It is one of the only compounds that crosses the blood-nerve barrier and enters the mitochondria of nerve cells directly — where chemo did its damage.

The ALADIN clinical trial showed an 82.5% response rate at the 600mg dose — the exact dose in this formula. Participants saw measurable improvement in nerve pain, burning, and numbness.

Unlike gabapentin or duloxetine, which suppress your nervous system to mask pain, this formula targets the 3 root causes of chemo nerve damage: nerve fiber destruction and myelin breakdown, gut damage that blocks nutrient absorption, and poor delivery that starves nerves of what they need to rebuild. Every ingredient maps to one of those pathways.

Shipping & Returns

Shipping: Free standard shipping on every order. Most orders ship within 24 hours and arrive in 3–5 business days. Tracking number provided via email.

Returns: Covered under our 90-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied for any reason, contact us for a full refund. No return shipping required. No restocking fees.

Is It Safe?

Yes. Every ingredient is a natural compound your body already recognizes: R-ALA, methylcobalamin B12, benfotiamine B1, L-glutamine, and coconut oil MCT. No synthetic chemicals, no CNS suppression, no habit-forming compounds. Zero acetyl-L-carnitine — which ASCO warns can worsen chemo-induced neuropathy.

R-Alpha Lipoic Acid has been used clinically since 1966 with an excellent safety profile. There is no brain fog, no drowsiness, no weight gain, no dependence, and no withdrawal — unlike gabapentin, which carries all five.

Manufactured in a GMP-certified facility in the USA and third-party tested for purity and potency. This formula was designed for people who have finished chemotherapy. If you are currently in treatment, talk to your oncologist before starting any supplement.

As with any supplement, consult your doctor if you are pregnant, nursing, or on blood thinners.

Ingredients

R-Alpha Lipoic Acid — 600mg (from 750mg Sodium R-Alpha Lipoate NA-RALA). Pure R-form, not racemic. Crosses the blood-nerve barrier and enters nerve cell mitochondria directly.

Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) — Pre-activated form. No liver conversion needed. Directly used by nerves to rebuild the myelin sheath that chemo stripped away.

Benfotiamine (Vitamin B1) — Fat-soluble form. 3.6x more effective than regular thiamine. Powers the energy cycle nerves need to regenerate.

L-Glutamine — Repairs the intestinal lining chemo damaged. Restores nutrient absorption so the other ingredients actually reach your nerves. Studies show it reduces neuropathy from paclitaxel and oxaliplatin.

Coconut Oil MCT — Fat-based delivery system. MCTs absorb directly into the bloodstream — no bile salts or intact gut lining required. Bypasses chemo-damaged digestion entirely. The delivery system itself feeds nerve tissue.

Other: Soft gel capsule. No fillers, no proprietary blends. 60 soft gels, 2 per day, 30 servings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast will I feel results?
Most people notice a shift in 2–4 weeks. Nerves regenerate about an inch per month, so improvements are steady and cumulative. We give you 90 days because that's how long real nerve repair takes.

I already tried ALA and it didn't work.
You took the wrong form. Most supplements sell a 50/50 synthetic mix at 100–200mg. This is pure R-ALA at the 600mg clinical dose, in a soft gel with MCT for 40x better absorption. Completely different.

Can I take this with gabapentin or Lyrica?
Yes. No known interactions. This is nutrition, not medication. Many customers start on both and work with their doctor to taper as their nerves rebuild.

My oncologist said the nerve damage is permanent.
Peripheral nerves regenerate at about 1mm per day — an inch per month. That's basic neuroscience. No FDA-approved drug exists for CIPN, so your doctor's only option was "wait and see." We're giving you the other option.

How big are the soft gels?
Small and smooth. Designed to be easy to swallow even for people dealing with chemo-related nausea or difficulty swallowing. Most can take them without water.

I tried gabapentin and Lyrica and nothing worked. Three weeks on this and the burning in my feet stopped waking me up. I can actually sleep again. Thank God.

"Nothing works / it's permanent"

"Three years. Three years of numb feet, burning hands, dropping everything I picked up. My oncologist said it was probably permanent. I had accepted it. My daughter found this and begged me to try it. Week three — I felt tingling in my toes for the first time since chemo. Not the bad kind. The 'waking up' kind. By week eight I could feel the carpet under my feet. I stood in my kitchen and cried. This gave me my body back."

"I tried supplements before and they failed"

"I burned through three different nerve supplements from Amazon. Zero difference. I was about to give up on all of them. What sold me on this was the R-ALA — I found out the stuff I was taking before was the cheap synthetic version at a third of the dose. Night and day. Within a month, I could hold a pen again. I could button my shirt. My wife noticed before I did — she said I stopped shaking my hands out every five minutes. I wish I'd found this two years ago instead of wasting money on the wrong stuff."

"Scared to spend money / trust issues"

"After chemo, I swore off 'miracle supplements.' Seen too many. Tried too many. My daughter bought me a 3-pack and I almost gave them away. I started taking them just to make her happy. By week four, the burning at night — the thing that woke me up at 2am every single night for two years — calmed down. I slept through the night for the first time since treatment. I'm on bottle three now and the numbness is pulling back from my toes. It's slow but it's REAL. I'm furious nobody told me about this sooner."

  • CIPN is the most neglected condition in post-cancer care. No FDA-approved treatment exists. Not one.
  • The nerves aren't dead — they're starving. They regenerate at 1mm per day. Nobody tells patients how to feed them.
  • R-Alpha Lipoic Acid has 60+ years of clinical research. The ALADIN trial showed an 82.5% response rate at 600mg — the exact dose in this formula.
  • Chemo damages nerves and gut at the same time. New research confirms they're directly connected. You can't fix one without fixing the other.
  • The #1 neuropathy supplement in America contains acetyl-L-carnitine. ASCO warns it worsens chemo neuropathy. This formula doesn't.
  • This is the first formula I've seen that repairs both nerve and gut damage together. I recommend it to every patient with post-chemo nerve damage.

5 Ingredients. 3 Pathways. Built for Chemo Damage.

Formula and ingredients

R-Alpha Lipoic Acid — 600mg

Nerve Repair

The natural form of ALA — 10x more powerful than the synthetic version on Amazon. The ALADIN trial showed 82.5% response rate at this exact dose. Prescribed in Germany since 1966. This is the ingredient that changes everything.

Methylcobalamin B12

Myelin Rebuilder

The active form of B12 — goes straight to rebuilding the nerve insulation chemo stripped off. Not the cheap cyanocobalamin your body has to convert first. "If I stop taking B12, my neuropathy comes back."

Benfotiamine (B1)

Nerve Fuel

Fat-soluble B1 — 3.6x more effective than regular thiamine at reaching your cells. Powers the energy cycle your nerves need to regenerate.

L-Glutamine

Gut-Nerve Bridge

Studies show it reduces neuropathy from paclitaxel and oxaliplatin — the exact drugs that cause CIPN. Also repairs your intestinal lining so the other ingredients can absorb. Dual action.

Coconut Oil Soft Gel

The Delivery System

MCTs absorb directly into your bloodstream — no bile salts needed. Chemo destroyed your gut. Dry capsules pass right through. This gets every milligram in. The capsule itself feeds your nerves.

🔬 Nerve Repair + Myelin Rebuilding → R-ALA (600mg), B12, B1

💊 Gut Repair + Absorption Fix → L-Glutamine, MCT Oil

🧬 Direct Nerve Delivery → Coconut Oil Soft Gel (bypasses damaged gut)

Why The Soft Gel

THE PROBLEM:

Chemo nuked your gut bacteria and cracked your intestinal lining. Dry capsules dissolve, hit damaged gut walls, and pass right through. You're swallowing expensive powder that ends up in the toilet.

THE RESEARCH:

Published studies confirm it — gut microbiota damage during chemo is causally linked to worse neuropathy. Damaged gut → more inflammation → worse nerves. It's a loop.

THE SOLUTION:

MCTs (coconut oil fats) absorb directly into your bloodstream. No bile salts needed. No intact gut lining required. Every milligram gets delivered — even through a wrecked digestive system.

WHY R-ALA NEEDS THIS:

R-ALA is fat-soluble. Dissolve it in fat = dramatically higher absorption. A dry capsule of ALA powder has a fraction of the bioavailability. This isn't marketing. It's biochemistry.

2 Soft Gels. Once a Day. With Food.

Daily soft gel routine
  1. Take 2 soft gels with any meal.

    Same time every day. Set a phone alarm.

  2. Don't stop early.

    Nerves regrow an inch per month. If you quit at day 14, you pulled the seeds before they sprouted.

  3. New tingling is a good sign.

    One customer said: "Pain is the start of feeling. I now have hope." Nerves waking up can feel strange at first. That means it's working.

  4. Works alongside gabapentin, Lyrica, duloxetine.

    This is nutrition, not medication. Many customers taper off meds with their doctor as nerves rebuild.

Built for One Specific Person.

Chemo ended but the neuropathy didn't.

You kept waiting. Your oncologist said give it time. Your feet still burn. Your fingers are still numb. This ends that.

Told "it's permanent" or "deal with it."

Your oncologist saves lives, not nerves. There's no drug for CIPN. That doesn't mean nothing exists. This is what they should have given you.

Gabapentin isn't enough.

It masks pain. Doesn't fix nerves. This feeds the nerve what drugs can't — the raw material to rebuild.

Tried supplements that did nothing.

Wrong form. Wrong dose. Wrong delivery. Made for diabetics, not chemo damage. This was built for what chemo actually does.

Tired of "at least you're alive."

You ARE alive. You deserve to feel your feet. Hold your grandchild's hand. Walk without pain. This is how.

When You'll Feel It (Honest Timeline)

  1. WEEK 1-2 — Foundation

    You probably won't feel much. Gut is repairing. Nutrients building up. The work is invisible. Some notice better sleep.

  2. WEEK 3-4 — First Signals

    Most people feel it here. Less burning at night. A tingle where there was nothing. "Pain is the start of feeling — I now have hope."

  3. MONTH 2-3 — Real Change

    Myelin rebuilding. Numb zones shrinking. Buttoning shirts. Holding forks. Walking without staring at your feet. "I can feel the carpet again."

  4. MONTH 4-6 — Compound Effect

    An inch of nerve per month adds up. Life-changing improvements. Walking barefoot. Sleeping through the night. This is why the 6-bottle option exists.

  5. 6+ MONTHS — New Normal

    Neuropathy stops being the first thing you think about. Some residual symptoms may remain. But the direction is forward. You beat cancer. Now you beat what it left behind.

Why Everything Else Failed. Why This Won't.

Formula overview

What Chemo Did:

Chemo attacked every fast-growing cell — not just cancer. Your nerve fibers and your gut lining got destroyed at the same time. Two problems. Nobody treated either one.

Why Nothing Else Worked:

  • Gabapentin — blocks pain. Doesn't repair nerves.
  • Duloxetine — changes brain chemistry. Nerve damage untouched.
  • Amazon ALA — wrong form, quarter dose, dry capsule your wrecked gut can't absorb.
  • Nerve Renew — contains acetyl-L-carnitine. ASCO says it makes CIPN worse.
  • "Give it time" — without nutrients, nerves wait forever.

What This Formula Does:

  1. Days 1-14:

    L-Glutamine repairs gut lining. Coconut oil soft gel bypasses damaged digestion. Your body can finally absorb nutrients again.

  2. Weeks 2-4:

    R-ALA (600mg) floods nerve cells with protection. B12 rebuilds myelin. B1 powers nerve energy.

  3. Weeks 3-8:

    Nerves wake up. 1mm per day. Tingling returns. Then sensitivity. Then real feeling. They were starving. Now they're fed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers to the questions chemo survivors actually ask — not the runaround your oncologist gave you.

Because you took the wrong one. There are two forms of ALA: the R form (natural, made by your body) and the S form (synthetic, made in a lab). Almost every supplement on Amazon sells you a 50/50 mix of both. Only R-ALA works. It has 10x the anti-inflammatory power. And most people take 100-200mg — the clinical dose is 600mg. That's 3-6x what you were taking, in the only form that actually does anything. You didn't try ALA. You tried a cheap knockoff at the wrong dose. This is the real thing.

Your oncologist is an expert at killing cancer. Not at regrowing nerves. Those are two very different things. Peripheral nerves regenerate at about 1 millimeter per day — an inch per month. That's not a theory. That's basic neuroscience. The problem is nobody told you HOW to support that regrowth. No FDA-approved drug exists for CIPN. Not one. So your doctor's only option was "wait and see." We're giving you the other option — the one the drug companies can't patent and your oncologist was never trained to recommend.

Gabapentin numbs you. That's all it does. It blocks the nerve signal so you feel less pain. It does not repair a single nerve fiber. It does not rebuild a single myelin sheath. It does not fix anything. When you stop taking it, the pain comes right back — often worse. Duloxetine changes your brain chemistry so pain "bothers you less." Again — not repair. Not healing. This formula does what those drugs literally cannot: it feeds the nerve the raw materials it needs to regenerate. Many of our customers start on both and work with their doctor to taper off as their nerves rebuild.

Most people notice a shift within 2 to 4 weeks. The first 1-2 weeks are invisible — your gut is repairing and nutrients are building up. By week 3-4, most people feel it: less burning at night, a tingle where there used to be dead space, better sleep. Nerves regenerate about an inch per month, so improvements are steady and cumulative. By month 2-3, customers report buttoning shirts, walking without staring at their feet, feeling carpet again. We give you a full 90-day guarantee because that's how long real nerve repair takes. You will not be guessing. You will know.

Talk to your oncologist first — always. This formula was designed for people who've finished treatment. Some ingredients like ALA and glutamine have been studied during chemo, but we're not going to override your medical team. They call the shots during treatment. We pick up where they leave off.

Your doctor doesn't prescribe supplements because they can't. They prescribe drugs. That's how medical school works. That's how insurance works. Here's what your doctor probably didn't tell you: 43% of chemo patients with neuropathy were given ZERO information about managing it. Not one pamphlet. Not one suggestion. Researchers describe clinician knowledge about CIPN management as "limited or lacking." Your doctor isn't lying to you — they genuinely don't know. The research on R-ALA exists. 60+ years of it. It just lives in nutrition journals instead of drug company brochures.

Because it can't be patented. Drug companies spend billions getting FDA approval on patentable molecules — things they can own exclusively for 20 years and charge whatever they want. R-ALA is a natural compound. Nobody can patent it. So nobody spends the money to push it through the FDA process. The research exists. The results are there. But there's no pharmaceutical rep in your oncologist's office promoting it — because there's no drug company behind it.

Both. Burning and numbness are two expressions of the same underlying problem — damaged nerve fibers. Burning happens when damaged nerves send false pain signals. Numbness happens when damaged nerves stop sending signals at all. This formula addresses the root cause: R-ALA protects and regenerates the nerve fibers, methylcobalamin rebuilds the myelin sheath that insulates them, benfotiamine powers the energy they need to heal, L-glutamine repairs the gut so everything absorbs, and the coconut oil soft gel bypasses your damaged digestion entirely. As your nerves repair, both symptoms improve. Customers report feeling temperature, texture, and pressure in areas that had been completely dead for years.

No. Peripheral nerves continue to have regenerative capacity. We've had customers who dealt with neuropathy for 3, 5, even 8+ years see improvement. Longer-standing damage may take longer to improve — and the improvement may be more gradual — but the biology doesn't expire. Your nerves are still trying to regrow right now. They just need the raw materials. It's never too late to give them what they need.

Then you get every penny back. No questions, no hoops, no "store credit." We offer a full 90-day money-back guarantee because we built this formula on clinical data and we know it works. 90 days gives your nerves real time to respond — not the 30-day window most companies offer that barely covers shipping time. Use the entire bottle. If you're not feeling real, noticeable improvement in your burning, tingling, numbness, or sleep — just contact us at orders@rcmliving.com and we refund the full purchase price. You risked everything to stay alive. Risk nothing to feel alive again.

Your Nerves Are Trying to Heal Right Now.

Every day, your nerves attempt to regrow. Without the right nutrients, they stall. The burning stays. The numbness stays.

My hands went numb during FOLFOX and never came back. It's been three years. I ordered the 6-bottle pack because I figured if it takes an inch of nerve per month, I need to give it real time. Month three — I can feel my granddaughter's hand when she holds mine. That's everything.
