I've been taking a lot of r-lipoic acid (200-300mg) and have noticed some hair shedding lately. More than usual. Now, it could be the DIM taken to counteract side effects of beta sitosterol, or natural hormonal fluctuations, but the increased hair loss began shortly after starting r-lipoic acid a few weeks ago.
I've been eating a lot more protein lately, and my hair is longer, so any shedding might just be more noticeable...
Has anyone else noticed this side effect? I noticed a similar effect last year from ALCAR/ALA but chalked it up to the ALCAR.. maybe its the LA?
RLA makes me feel great and I'd like to keep taking it, but not if it causes baldness...
