Conditions where Alpha Lipoic acid may benefit

Alpha lipoic acid research in humans is still incomplete. However, alpha lipoic

may have a health benefit in a variety of medical conditions, including

diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, Alzheimer's disease,

Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease. We suggest keeping the dosage of

alpha lipoic acid to less than 50 mg a few times a week.

Alpha Lipoic Acid Side Effects

There are no indications that low doses of lipoic acid, such as 5 to 20 mg, have

side effects.

Higher doses could cause nausea or stomach upset, along with over-stimulation,

fatigue, and insomnia. High alpha lipoic acid doses could also potentially lower

blood sugar. This is often beneficial to patients who have diabetes, but it

requires close monitoring of blood sugar levels. We have had one report of 300

mg of alpha lipoic acid taken 3 times a day for three weeks led to atrial

fibrillation. Even lower dosages of alpha lipoic acid could lead to heart

palpitations.
