Not that I am aware of.

The other big important property of ALA is that it is a powerful

antioxidant. That function of ALA should help people to feel better

(once they chelate enough metals out).

It would be difficult to find a person who had no heavy metals in

their body. If there are such people then they wouldn't notice

anything from taking ALA every 3-4 h, or it might make them feel

better in general.
