I'm not taking the ALA for chelation but for other reasons. Our bodies need ALA much like Selenium for chemical processes. Like Selenium, and even more so ALA, bonds with Mercury making it unavailable for it's indended purpose. And Like Selenium those with Mercury toxicity end up deficient in ALA also and certain reactions are hindered or stopped.

So SOME ALA is needed. I was hoping to find a safe minimal dose that wouldn't chelate but still give me the lipoic acid by body wants and needs.
