Without a D test, the recommendations today from doctors, specializing in D stuff is 2000IU D3 daily.

He could start the B12 aggressively at 5mg a day for 3 months, and then drop back to 1mg daily (on an empty stomach).

But it is that Crestor that is in the Trilipix that is worrisome.

That drug depletes CoQ-10 and he should be supplementing at least 300mg a day of that of a quality enhanced absorption type.
Also read my thread in the subforum about statins.

If he refuses to learn about it... then he should try adding acetyl carnitine to his CoQ-10 and hope for the best.

That statin in the Trilipix is highly problematic for someone already with neuropathy.
