Kirkman's sells a 25mg capsule of ALA. Should be in the links

section.-----------Jackie

being the more likely culprit.----------Jackie

And if that goes fine, then maybe add in a lower dose of ALA. And as

I mentioned above, I think Kirkman's has the lowest dose of ALA

available, without having it compounded. Good luck, and keep us

posted on what you do and what ends up working for you.-------Jackie
