Re: VRP-DMSA- not Di-Sulfhydryl?-Andy?-Moria? -HELP

[Guest guest]

O.K.- sorry guys! I am going to half-way answer my own

question. Kirkman's " Di-Sulfhydryl " DMSA says in the

ingredients list that it contains " Dimercapto succinic

acid " . SO....VRP and Kirkman both contain the same

thing.

However, the VRP bottle stills says that it only

contains 65mg succinic acid (for 100mg). Is this

typical of all DMSA or do I dose diff.?

Somewhere (sorry, I don't have the post # darn it) Andy

wrote about this--- the wording thing is part of a dance

that VRP has to do to sell DMSA as a supplement. Even

though it says 65 mg, treat it like 100 mg. It is the

same amount as a 100 mg Rx DMSA. I can't explain why!

If necessary I *may* be able to find Andy's post-- am trying

to think what words he used (to find a unique search string!)

In order for it to be a nutritional supplement it is labeled in a

confusing manner. It contains DMSA equivalent to 65 mg of succinic

acid. 100 mg of DMSA is equivalent to 65 mg of succinic acid. The

capsule actually does contain 100 mg of DMSA.
