for lipoic acid.
Alpha lipoic has been used for many years here and in Europe.
But only one part of it (it is a mixed isomer product) is active in the body.
So now there is r-lipoic acid and you use it in much lower doses.
50mg or 100mg a day.
There is one study for ALPHA showing possible interaction with thyroid hormone...that it blocks the actions of thyroid. But there are no studies yet about this with the new improved form used in much lower doses.
here are examples of the newer type:

If you choose a tablet form of 100mg you can break them in half for 50mg an save $$.
I found 50 mg very powerful at first, and did that. Now I use
100mg daily.
I have used over the past year:
