You can take it every day at the same time, say, before lunch.
It is enteric coated, and doesn't release until it hits the intestines.
The inert ingredients might impair the B12, but not the lipoic IMO.

B12 is best taken away from fiber, and even though Nexium is a small amount of fiber, it may attract the micrograms of B12.
I take my Synthroid first thing in the morning. I had been taking B12 and R-Lipoic at the same time. Now, I will hve to separate them. Perhaps, I can just shorten to 30 minutes (instead of 1 hour) the gap between Synthroid and B12. Is it fine Mrs. D to take Nexium before bedtime with milk instead of before lunchtime. Unless, Nexium could be taken with Gabapentin at lunchtime (1 take gaba 3x a day).

Oh my, I could not catch up with my medication schedules

Thank you Mrs.D - as always!
