Is Lipoic Acid thought to slow bowel movements, increase the rate of copper
absorption from the gut, or slow the copper loss to the gut? The reason that
I ask, is that over the last week while using lipoic acid we noted our 7 year
old daughter's bowel movements slowing from every 2 days to every 3 days, and
were wondering if this were do to either Lipoic Acid, Milk Thistle or the
liquid Molybdenum drops all of which were added to her supplements about a
week prior to this observation. We credit improved bowel function as having
resulted from our Mercury Detox efforts. Last year at this time, her average
bowel movement was every 6 days!
Any ideas?
