There is nothing on HUMANs on this at all.
There is one comment by a poster here:

The thyroid study on rats was with very high dose alpha (mixed) lipoic.
The R-lipoic is a different entity and does not require high doses.
I am hypothyroid and I feel no negative effects...no increase in cold intolerance (and it IS cold here) and no sluggishness etc. I've been on this for 60 days now. 100mg in the morning...and I feel fine! Better than before infact.
I am sure it is helping my insulin resistance (which I know I have from blood tests).
It is your choice in the end however. Diabetics I would warn to watch blood sugars, as R-lipoic can lower blood sugar and alter requirements for oral meds and/or insulin.
