Nerve discomfort tends to get louder when everything else gets quiet. During the day your brain has a hundred inputs competing for attention; at night, the signals from your feet have the floor to themselves. Add in reduced circulation when you're lying still, and evenings become the hardest hours. That's why "I dread going to bed" is the single most common thing we hear from customers — and why nighttime comfort is usually the first change people notice.†

Most ALA on the shelf is "racemic" — a 50/50 mix of two mirror-image molecules. Only the R-form is the one your body makes and uses; the S-half is a synthetic byproduct that competes with it for absorption. So a 600mg racemic capsule delivers far less usable R-ALA than the label suggests — and most brands dose at 100–300mg on top of that. Protocol600 is 100% pure R-form at the full 600mg used in clinical research, in a coconut-oil softgel because R-ALA absorbs best with fat. Different molecule, different dose, different delivery.

Honest answer: usually not in week one, and anyone who promises that is selling you something. R-ALA needs to build up and go to work at the cellular level. In clinical research, meaningful changes typically showed up over 3 to 5 weeks of consistent daily use, which matches what our customers report — calmer feet at night first, then steadier improvement through week 8. That's exactly why our guarantee is 90 days instead of 30: we want you to have the full window the research says it takes.†

ParaCleanse uses gentle herbs that have been used safely for centuries. As a standard precaution, take it 2 hours apart from any prescription medication. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing a serious health condition, check with your provider before starting — that's the honest answer, not a disclaimer. Many families cleanse together (parasites pass between household members, so doing it alone is often pointless). For children, follow age-adjusted dosing on the label.

Then you pay nothing. Use it daily for the full 8 weeks the research calls for, and if you don't feel a difference, email us within 90 days of delivery for a complete refund — no return shipping, no phone tree, no "are you sure" emails. We can only offer that because most people who give it the full window don't ask.

In Germany, prescription-grade alpha lipoic acid has been used for nerve health since 1966. In the US it never went through the pharmaceutical pipeline — there's no patent on a naturally occurring molecule, so no company ever spent the billions required to put it in front of doctors. Most US physicians simply never encounter it in training. The research exists (4,000+ patients across major clinical trials, and it appears in Mayo Clinic's published material on nerve health) — it just never had a sales force.†
