I have used ALA many times in my protocol. I hear many positive results from members throughout the years. My father's primary even suggests he use for his neuropathy.
25% off many brands of ALA here:
"Alpha lipoic acid enhances antioxidant effects of vitamin C, vitamin E, and NAC. It is protective of liver function and helps remove toxins from the body. It is also protective of nerve tissue and has been shown to reverse diabetic nerve damage. It enhances oxygenation of tissues and immune function. It protects tissues against elevated glucose." https://rawlsmd.com/herbs/alpha-lipoic-acid
"Alpha-lipoic acid has the side-benefit of helping the body chelate heavy metals and other toxins, providing further antioxidant support and lowering inflammation. Alpha-lipoic acid is also effective in decreasing insulin resistance, lowering blood sugars, and improving symptoms of diabetic neuropathy."
"Alpha-lipoic acid is essential for certain enzymatic reactions, but there is no official recommended dietary intake of ALA" https://selfhacked.com/blog/lipoic-acid/
"Given the sulfur content of alpha lipoic acid, patients who are sulfur sensitive should monitor their total intake of sulfur containing supplements. In some patients with excess body acid, this may add to that load and trigger gastric irritation and bladder irritation in our experience. Cessation of the supplement generally results in resolution of these symptoms in 24 to 72 hours. "
