DMSA dosing Re: need help with metals test results and how to proceed

[Guest guest]

What you need to do is take the 25mg capsules of dmsa, open one onto a

plate and divide the powder into the doses you need.

This is the cheapest way. They do not sell smaller dose capsules and

compounding is a fortune. Even with a prescription, dmsa costs more

than out of pocket. Many people on this group were paying $50 or 60

dollars for dmsa with their insurance. It's $28.95 for 120 caps of

25mg on VRP. That one bottle will do many, many rounds. Each capsule

will do four doses at 6mg per dose.

Yes, you have to do some work, but it's affordable that way. You put

the smaller doses into empty capsules which you can buy or save from

other supplements that you are dumping out of the capsules. Put the

doses into those empty ones.

Premixing as suggested below must be used in a certain amount of time.

But you can do this, yes.

I found that my son would not take it this way because the premixed

tasted worse and smelled stronger than freshly mixed. So I mix right

before I give it now. But either way is fine.
