Mito refers to damage to the mitochondria of your cells. The mitochondria produce energy so you can move/live etc. Without them we cannot exist. They are old vestigial bacteria that were incorporated into mammalian cells eons ago. The technical term for them is symbiotes. We provide food and shelter for them and in return they provide energy and life.
They are damaged by drugs and toxins. In fact the new research into aging and many diseases that appear with age, and vaccine injuries are pointing to mito damage.
Certain nutrients enable mito functioning. That is why with your long term problems, you should try to support them.
Benfotiamine research always used high dose. At least 300mg to start. One poster came here recently and used 600mg a day.
If you go to PubMed(the link at the top right of these pages) and type in "benfotiamine neuropathy" you can see all the research there. Benfotiamine is just a fancy form of thiamine which stays in the body longer. (it is fat soluble). It used to be mega expensive, but has come down in price within the last year.
My magnesium thread covers all the mag info. I am not going to retype it all here.

I prefer SlowMag generic for its cost and because I am sensitive to the laxative side effects. But many people use other forms like magnesium glycinate. Aim for 1/2 the RDA or 200mg elemental. You just have to read that thread. It is too complex to go over again here.
If you want magnesium glycinate...go to iherb.com
Mag64 or MagDelay 64 generic of SlowMag can be ordered at any pharmacy, WalMart carries it, and so do some Costcos. Costco is where I get mine, at the pharmacy counter. (very low price there!)
2 a day of these...Mag64 (SlowMag)
Some people do not do well with B6. Even though it is rare to get side effects which are neuropathic BTW, it still can happen at 100 mg a day for some. 50mg is plenty for most people.
I am cautious and conservative about this.
I have a B6 thread:

You just have to read up.... so you understand what things do.
Consider it "homework" LOL
