You will NOT find the new R-lipoic acid stabilized in stores.
And if you do, it will be very expensive.

I have found that WalMart has excellent brands of supplements for the regular more common things.

You can find regular thiamine anywhere. It is cheap and rapidly excreted. The Benfotiamine form is online only, at 40-50% savings Amazon, and iherb . No you don't have to take it, but it might help as studies show it works for neuropathy, well.

Timed release B12 is useless. Don't buy it. I don't know why they still offer it. B12 is not easily absorbed orally, so it needs to be on an empty stomach and the proper location of the small intestine. Timed release releases small amounts at all the wrong places and it is wasted therefore.
Methylcobalamin should say right on the label, in the nutrition box.
