I wonder if you might know exactly what it is about the Alpha Lipoic Acid that increases candida? I dont know what it is and I take a small amount daily in a liver support formula. I thought it was claimed to help the liver but I dont want to take something to help one problem and be increasing another. Is it derived from something sweet or something? I have only being taking 40mgs in total but I dont suppose that will make much difference. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks. Amanda
