Lipoic Acid

[Corran731]

Is anyone taking Lipoic Acid? If so, care to share your experience so far?

I take a daily 600 mg alpha lipoic acid capsule with food each morning. The food has ended the burning sensation that I got taking it with water at the end of breakfast. I don't know if it helps, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

Corran731 , I started slowly with 200 mg., then to 500mg., and just raised it to 1000mg, I did have a day or two of very mild abdominal discomfort for about 2 days at the very beginning, but have been fine since.

Corran731 it made me so nauseated I stopped. Maybe I will start again at a lower dose. Supposed to be good for neuropathy and brain atrophy.
