I never had any side effects from either alpha type (which didn't seem to do anything for me) or
the newer r-lipoic type, which seems to help.
The only side effect I have seen reported here was some heartburn from the alpha type, since it is an "acid" albeit very weakly.
What is lipoic acid?

Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that is made by the body and is found in every cell, where it helps turn glucose into energy. Antioxidants are substances that attack "free radicals," waste products created when the body turns food into energy. Free radicals cause harmful chemical reactions that can damage cells in the body, making it harder for the body to fight off infections. They also damage organs and tissues.

You might want to combine it with benfotiamine as well. (or regular thiamine).
