Metallic taste when using ALA?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Today I started a new round of ALA: 12.5 mg of ALA every 3rd hour.

I've been doing 25-100 mg of ALA on previous rounds, but have not

decided that it's not worth the side effects (in my case, mostly

issues with " chest tightness " ).

I noticed today that I've had a slight " metallic " taste in my mouth

all day (I took the first ALA dose this morning). I've probably had

this taste on previous rounds also, just never bothered to think about

it until now. Does anyone else here recognize this " symptom " ?

It doesn't really bother me at all, I'm just interested in knowing

what is the cause of it.

I have had no amalgam fillings. However, I am the son of a dentis, and

have probably been exposed to mercury both in the womb (my mother was

a dentist assistant when she was pregnant with me, plus she had lots

of amalgams back then) and when working as a cleaner at my fathers

dental practice.

Any comments/inputs appreciated.

Regards,

Finkle
