Pregnant person to try ALA?

[Guest guest]

I'm 4 months pregnant and may begin chelating my 2 year old soon. I want to

taste the

ALA just so I know how to give it to him and if it bother's my throat, ect...I'm

not

chealating myself but is it safe to test it? Probably a few trail tests at small

doses.

I'll save you the risk: I did the taste tests.

The ALA from capsules is almost shard-like. It made both my son and me

cough a lot. I found that crushing the tablets was best as far as ease

of swallowing goes.

BUT, the ALA from Kirkman Labs was the least irritating. The Vitamin

Shoppe brand was the worst. It was hard to get the ALA to mix well in

liquid like water or juice; easier to hide it in applesauce or

chocolate sauce (yes, I tried that) or whipped cream (yes, I did that,

too!).

Hope that helps.

p.s. Kirkman makes a flavored ALA that is pretty 'good', but then you

deal with the additives.
