Alpha Lipoic Acid 300mg
Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol) 500IU
Directions state to take 2 capsules twice daily.
My Dad did have his B12 tested but the doctor said it was well within normal range...not certain what it was though. I ordered the vitamins last night and will start him on them as soon as i receive - the way i see it, it can't get much worse. I may also try giving him the Acetyl L Carnitine supplement as well.

This one is quite new. And surprisingly is very strong. Typically I don't like mixtures, because they often have a ratio that is not really useful.
I would expect this to be very expensive. Was it? If not, then I would wonder if it contains what it says it does! You can send me a PM and tell me if you don't want to post here. I am guessing about $60/month?
It also should be taken on an empty stomach, because of the B12 content. Do the directions say that? If not, that omission is important. So follow the empty stomach recommendation I give for best absorption of the B12.
The D is low, but in a mixture, I wouldn't expect it to be higher.
He may need much more than these provide. But you will have to have testing to show that.
