If you have diabetes, taking Alpha Lipoic Acid for long periods may require an adjustment in your dosage of insulin or other diabetes medications. Consult your doctor for guidance. For healthy adults, Alpha Lipoic Acid is very safe at commonly recommended dosages, although occasionally it causes mild stomach upset and in rare cases it can trigger an allergic skin rash. If you experience any of these reactions, reduce the dose or stop taking the supplement.

This supplement is not recommended for pregnant women.
