How long did it take you to notice any effects, positive or negative?
I started yesterday 100mg ALA every three hours, but haven't really noticed improvement
I at least expected negative effects if mercury was being redistributed

Maybe it will take longer but it might also indicate I did not have mercury poisoning after all

100 mg of ALA every 3 hours should have done something, but again it may take a few rounds of that before you notice enough symptoms or improvements.

It could indicate this is not your problem, but make sure the brand you have is a reputable one and check the due by date. SOmetimes they can simply lose most of their potency, particularly if the bottle has already been opened and left that way for longer than realised.

I got them from www.vrp.com I think they seem reputable and I got fast service

They should be fine. You could try opening up one of the capsules and putting some of the stuff on your tongue and see if you notice a strong burning type sensation. Lipoic acid does that.

Still, it's probably worth it to keep going with it and seeing if the symptoms may occur later on.

VRP ALA nver agreed with me caused gas & gut symotoms I think it was because of the capsule maybe not breaking down well, I get the same with their DMSA, I used kirkman. Sometimes ALA may not produce any symtoms sometimes I actually felt really good on it with no hit but I have had periods of feeling really rough on it. I have been going for 1.5yrs. The periods of symtoms last 1-3 months typically then something happens, I then get nothing and get another hit, Sone describe it as layers releasing. I would personally go slower than 100mg if you suddenly start really moving mercury it will make you feel really bad and it will hit you like a freight train out of the blue. I went to 100mg for 3 months but decided to sit at 50mg it seemed to get the same benefit.
