If you are worried about high doses, just do 150mg a day.
If you get no negative reactions, you can increase to 300 for a couple of months and see if that helps.
I'd stay away from mixtures of things. You cannot control mixtures or see what is really doing what.
I say this about "reactions". I had great hopes for NAG-- n-acetyl glucosamine, but it seems to inflame my nerves worse.
I never expected that, since I have used glucosamine in the past (with not much results). I've tried 3 times, and got inflamed nerves all 3 times!

Mrs. D,
Please tell me if my supplements now are fine. Please take note that my prescribed medications are Synthroid, Gabapentin and 3 eye solutions for my dry eyes (i have no Sjogren's Syndrome) ---
1. Methyl B12 - empty stomach
2. Multivitamin
3. Vit C - 500mg 2x a day
4. Vit E - 400mg 1x a day
5. Selenium - 200 mg 1x a day
6. Omega 3,6,9 - 800mg 2x a day
7. Glucosamine (stopped starting today)
8. Calcium with VitD - 600mg and 400mg, respectively 1x a day
9. Vit D3 - 2000mg 1x a day (taken together w/ Calcium - taken 5hours after Synthroid)
9. CoQ10 100mg - 1x a day (taken at night together with the 2nd VitC and Omega)
To add:
1. Benfotiamine 150mg - 1x day -
Mrs. D, can I take this together with VitB12, or can this be taken with the other supplements? Does this affect absorption of other drugs?
Plan to add after thyroid stabilizes:
1. R-Lipoic
2. Acetyl L-Carnitine (I am not s ure if this is the right one)
Please feel free to recommend what you think is best.
Thank you very very much.
