Expert Verdict
Alpha-lipoic acid is susceptible to oxidation and polymerization, requiring nitrogen blanketing, amber packaging, and antioxidant co-stabilizers. Isolated allergic contact dermatitis case reports for alpha-lipoic acid warrant patch testing in sensitization-prone populations. Shellfish-source allergen concern exists for glucosamine moiety.
