Biotin uses the same transporter as alpha lipoic acid. So if you take that supplement also, space them about 12 hrs apart.
I can't really comment on these mega doses however in the 100's of mg area. I haven't see papers on that yet.
But here is the updated monograph from Linus Pauling Institute:

It has a comment on the MS use so scroll down to "disease treatment" section.
There are some really helpful schematic diagrams for
the biochemical importance and uses of biotin on this monograph. |
Thanks, MrsD. I was really hoping you'd comment on this.
I would never take 60 capsules a day......not without a doctor's approval or at least their knowledge of what I was doing.
But it's a somewhat of an easy fix if it works well and doesn't harm other organs in the process. I guess we just watch and wait.
Thanks for always giving such useful advice.
