Alpha lipoic acid

Does anyone take an alpha-lipoic acid supplement for joint pain? I've been doing a lot of reading about how it can reduce inflammation.

Joint pain in lupus comes from inflammation. Inflammation comes from autoimmune activity. Suppressing the autoimmune activity reduces inflammation and treats the source of pain. In healthy people, inflammation is caused by a different mechanism.
