I take alphalipoic acid and I didn’t think I had a problem with it. But I have been having a ton of stomach acid problems and now I’m wondering if this could be adding to it. I’m sorry I can’t be of help but you may have helped me. Thank you.

Nancy, I think the stomach problems and nausea is a common side effect of alpha lipoic acid for some people especially if they start off with a high daily dosage. Some people have found it helped to gradually work up to the higher doses and also make sure not to take it on an empty stomach. I take 1200 mg daily (600 mg morning/evening) as part of my supplements.
