John's problem is different from others who come here. If he is willing to spend the money for the higher doses, I don't see a problem with some things.

But for most of us, I don't think really high doses are necessary.

5mg of B12 daily put me at the test maximum calibration. 2000 blood level is quite a bit. There is no evidence that more would help, most people. If John choses more and has the funds to pay for it, it is his choice.

I try to be safe and reasonable here. Really high doses of some things start to create side effects, and may be harder on the kidneys etc.

You'll notice he said ALPHA lipoic...and higher doses of that are necessary than the R-lipoic you are taking. 200 R-lipoic should be enough for most people. Alpha is less potent.
