I have a bunch of b12 on it's way, as well as many other vitamins, but I want to get started on the b12 and benfotiamine right away. I'm going to go to the vitamin store tomorrow. Please let me know a few things.
One, which brands would you recommend on both?
How much b12 can I start taking? I want to really load up on that ****. LOL
Two, it was mentioned in the thread that you posted that you have a vitamin list for alcoholic Neuropahthy? Can I get that exact list? Thanks. :-)

You can start with 5mg of methylcobalamin a day on an empty stomach. Just chew it up and swallow with some water. Walgreen's has it as well as Costco and Sam's club.
It is unlikely you will find benfotiamine in a local store. But maybe you will if you go to a good health food outlet. It will cost more locally. iherb.com, swanson's, vitacost, etc have it.
I use Doctor's Best brand. You can start with regular thiamine if you can't find it, at 100mg 3 times a day. All stores carry this form and it is less costly. Vitamin B1 is a mainstay for alcoholism recovery.
