100mg of regular alpha lipoic is so low a dose, it cannot
really work on PN. That would be 50mg to absorb under ideal conditions (empty stomach) --not likely. Therapeutic doses of ALA for PN are 600-1800mg a day!

I've never had any odors from Lipoic. But some vitamins in the Bcomplex will cause urine to smell differently.

B1, B2, and B6 will color the urine and B1 esp has a yeasty odor.
Benfotiamine (special B1) does not seem to share that characteristic.

There are many drugs that will cause dry mouth, and/or metallic taste, also.
