Are you taking it with enough water?
R-lipoic is not in its acid form when using the stabilized type.
It is lipoate.
You can try taking some antacid a few minutes before the R-lipoic.
Food does impair the ALA racemic mixture (which is not very soluble), but it may not be such a factor for the new NaRALA which is very soluble. A light meal might work too.
If the capsule does not move down to the bottom of the stomach, it might dissolve near the esophagus, and if you have minor irritations there from other things, it might also irritate.
Most things do irritate the esophagus.
I knew a doctor once who swallowed a tetracycline capsule without water... and he burned his esophagus which took over
2 weeks to heal!
I would expect the higher dose old ALA versions to be much more irritating, since they are in the acidic form.
