dawn, you said you took 50 gms of ALA? That seems like a lot to me! Most supplements are in the mgs. I have just started taking a multivitamin that has 100 mg ALA and seem to do alright. Maybe for chelation, there has to be a lot more than is in a multivitamin. Maybe I feel alright because the dosage is comparatively small and I have been chelating for 7 months already. Maybe, for me, and for others, this is the way to go - very slow . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
