I had a jittery effect in the beginning. I had to start at 50mg a day because of that reaction. It wasn't exactly an increased heart rate, just an unsettled feeling. I took it in the morning for that reason. R-lipoic is a mitochondrial enhancing supplement. Our mitochondria are the energy producers in our cells.
I used 50mg a day for a month, then increased to 100mg.
I am now trying 200mg a day, in divided doses. Perhaps in higher dose (using the RALA brand from Doctor's Best) I'll see some blood sugar improvements.
