I'd say go for it. There is ALA in my DMSA formula, i didn't even realize it was in there till the other day but one thing for sure, those little capsules help me a lot. I generally only take them at bedtime though, I like to eat during the day without a regular schedule and taking the DMSA would interefere with that (because you are suppose to wait 3 hours after eating to take it), and I have had lots of other IV chelation anyway to hurry things up. I will take extra during the night though, like if i wake up at 4am for a bathroom visit, my stomach is good and empty then too.
