A 2016 study demonstrated that alpha-lipoic acid reduced several processes that contribute to Graves’ eye disease. Specifically, alpha-lipoic acid reduced
-harmful oxidative stress
-inflammation
This was a test tube study involved human cells but was not an actual clinical study.
However, Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease and alpha lipoic acid is safe when used correctly and has documented benefit in several autoimmune diseases
Therefore, alpha lipoic acid supplementation is worth trialling in Graves' disease.
