Question: A recent rat study in Free Radical Biology & Medicine indicated lipoic acid increased plasma homocysteine and S-adenosyl homocysteine levels and suggested this could be a previously unreported adverse effect of lipoic acid consumption. Could you please comment as this could be relevant to regular users of lipoic acid products?
