I haven't done any extensive research on it, but it may be worth exploring (if you haven't already done so).

Thanks. I took ACL a while back but I didn't notice any positive effects from it. Perhaps I didn't take a high enough dosage though. Also, I read that it negatively impacts the thyroid or thyroxin (and I'm hypothyroid). But then I noticed that the site I read this on doesn't seem to have those articles anymore. So, maybe it doesn't have this negative effect after all. I'll definitely have to check this out further.
It would be wonderful if such an inexpensive, easy to obtain natural supplement without horrible side effects were able to help me.Thanks so much!
