Has anyone tried acetyl l carnitine for PN? It has shown to help nerve regeneration and diabetic neuropathic pain. Does anyone know anything about this regarding PN, or other nerve disorders???

I just started taking n acetyl l carnitine (along with Lipoic Acid) for PN last week. I guess it's too soon to notice any results, but too be honest I'm not really expecting it to function like a magic pill. My philosophy is just to make sure the body has all the nutrition it needs for nerve and muscle repair, and acetyl l carnitine forms part of that foundation. It's expensive though...

I took carnitine for about 6 months, but found no difference really.
Something else I tried was Astaxanthin, better results.
Supposed to be good for delivering powerful antioxidants to brain and nervous system.

What type of results did you get with Astaxanthin? Are you sure it was the Astaxanthin that helped?
