Re: Andy -- regarding forms of ALA (capsules vs liquid)

[Guest guest]

Sheila,

Life Solutions has a liquid that I know Andy has said is okay. 1 Tablespoon = 50

mg, so easy to dose little kids or big kids,

I find that 100 or 200 mg will initially be too strong. It would be easy enough

to cut the dose measurement with a liquid, and so I won't have to buy a bottle

of 50 mg caps, but if there is a benefit to using the capsules over a liquid,

then I would appreciate knowing.

If your only concern is the dosing you should look into Kirkman labs 25mg ALA

capsules. I can't comment on the liquid but I just wanted you to be aware that

you can get 25mg capsules which are easy to split for 12.5mg doses.

That is the only brand I found for consumption. Thank you for responding,

. I need to look into it more and call the manufacturer about the

" natural flavor blend " in it's ingredients.

Appreciatively,

Sheila

Yea, there's some other stuff in the liquid, some kids might react to it and I

think the powder is better if you can get it down them.

But for some kids or parents, this would be a Godsend. You have to weigh the

good vs questionable benefit.

Sure beats dividing up all those little capsules I did for 188 rounds, that's

for sure. But they didn't have anything like this when we started.

Not for ALA.

Thank you for responding, Andy and 'billymadison'.

I'm doing my budget calculations today for chelating both my son and I. I like

Kirkman products, but I may just buy the liquid since it could be easier to

drink versus a cap or tab in the mouth in the middle of the night.
