Max,

There's some alternate source info for buying DMSA in the group files

at:

/files/HOW_TO_buy_DMSA

Also, you can get ALA just about anywhere over the counter. I know

GNC sells it in varrying mg's which might make it easier to divide.

Not sure if Kirkman's is better quality than GNC though.

Hope this helps some.

Thanks. I went looking for the information in the

FAQ, but didn't think to look in the files. Oops.

For years (probably over 15) I have heard of the poor quality of GNC

products. Other companies also sell ALA, if the dosage that you are wanting

is not sold by Kirkmans, I would find one of the many others and try to get

feedback on the quality of that companies products. Just a suggestion.

yeah, it does get tricky. lots of discussions here of how

to divide up capsules.....

>Are there other sources folks use for DMSA and/or ALA?

yes, lots of people sell it, but I don't know of any who

sell in smaller doses than Kirkman. If anyone does, please

post. You can get ALA by itself (not combined) at the

HFS. The capsules are generally 100 or 60 mg. though.

BY THE WAY: PLEASE inform Kirkman, or VRP, or whomever you

buy this stuff from of what dose you would LIKE them to sell

in a capsule. Nicely, of course. Anyone from Kirkman's

listening who can comment on this?
