your B12 should be methyl form for the same reason as the folic acid methyl form. And make sure you take it on an empty stomach for best absorption.

Did you have thyroid test done?
I haven't had my lab work repeated yet, but will very shortly, as I see my GP Dr next month. I'm not saying you aren't right about the methyl B12, but since the body only will absorb a tiny amount, anyway, I wonder if a person will actually absorb more or is it hype?

I will give the Doctors Best R-Lipoic a try when I run out of stock in the ALA. I've got enough left probably for a couple of months.
