Alpha lipoic acid for Neuropathy

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.

Thank you John. I have decided to discontinue it for at least a week to see if it gets better. I have to take several vitamins and minerals due to a very short small intestine. I’m discontinuing them all for a bit and if I feel better, I’ll slowly start adding them back one at a time. Thank you for your answer.
