Sinks can be tough to digest so perhaps that's your culprit . We had

problems with rounds of constipation during detoxing. I think the metals

themselves may contribute to it. Liquid magnesium and aloe vera juice seemed

to keep things moving.

Low bile flow causes constipation. This is one of many possible

causes. It would occur if his liver got beaten up too much.

We added glycine to his supps, three times a day, and that has taken care of

the problem. We noticed that he became constipated toward the end of the

cycle while on DMSA/ALA.

Yes, I have it here. Our son is 130 lbs. so you may want to go way down on

this. Ours is from Thorne Research Inc. which I think is on the Net. Our

capsules are 500 mgs.
