"you can add DMSA or succinic acid to this to maximize the acetaldehyde detox, but this is untested for my part. So yes, I consider B5 + molybdenum as a replacement for DMSA, because DMSA is actually an acetaldehyde detoxer too. The most potent acetaldehyde detoxers that I know use succinic acid in some form (remember DMSA = dimercapto succinic acid), however, the natural way of supporting acetaldehyde detox is B5/pantethine/molybdenum, this is also more liver friendly than using DMSA, and seems to be effective enough too, at least for me."
