It's a bummer, because they were helping my neuropathy. Going to stop my r-la tomorrow and see what happens. Has this happened to anyone else?

From what I understand, ALA can deplete biotin, which could be why your hair was falling out. You can supplement biotin. Just be sure to not take the ALA and biotin together because apparently they use the same pathway? Someone can correct me on this if I'm wrong.
