2 weeks ago I was using 200mg capsules (natures bounty) 4x a day without any percieved effect on my body.

Yesterday I started ALA again and decided to use some of my whole foods brand (not sure whom they go through) - 100mg tabs. I took 5 tabs yesterday and started to feel a Herxheimer Reaction going on ... ie run down - felt like I was coming down with something (but I can kind of tell the difference now between regular colds and the Herxheimer Reaction).

Today I'm going to cut back the dosage I take to 50 mgs of the whole foods brand and see if I can slow it down.

I mean perhaps my body is more sensitive in the couple weeks since my last doses of ALA or maybe theres a difference between the tabs and the capsules for me ...

anyone else have a similar experience with the above (different brands or tabs capsules?).

-note-
when I first got my 2 fillings removed (there wasnt really much for safety measures followed on part of the praticioner); I got a Very strong Herxheimer Reaction (got real sick for 10 days).
