Lightbulb for one thing...

you are taking high doses of the alpha form.

This is not a purified product and may have other actions in the body.

The R-lipoic does not have many or any papers that I can find on it.
The dose is much less too.

Let us know what you find.

Here is more information:

I suspect this thyroid issue would have appeared since Europe has used this for a LONG time.
Also recall that carnitine action is also confused in thyroid patients. (since carnitine prevents bone tear
down in hyper patients, some extrapolate to others, inaccurately.)
