Assessment of adverse reactions to α-lipoic acid containing dietary supplements through spontaneous reporting systems

Milo Gatti et al.

Summary: Analysis of spontaneous reports from the Italian Phytovigilance System and WHO-VigiBase revealed that adverse reactions to ALA-containing products commonly involve skin and gastrointestinal issues, with most events occurring within 30 days of use. The reports showed seriousness, strong causality, and the occurrence of unpredictable skin, immune, and hepatic adverse events, highlighting the need for careful risk-benefit assessment, clinician awareness, and continuous monitoring of product safety.
