You can take the lipoic acid every other day for a while.
I started at 50mg (before we learned about the stabilized form) and then went to 100mg.
But unlike some other members here I couldn't increase to 200mg a day on the lipoic.
No, I gave up on the methylfolate...obviously it wasn't for me.
I think I methylate okay, since I was never low in B12 to start with. (849 to start). Now we have the gene tests, to clarify for those who wish to spend that $$ and learn more.

I think 800mcg of methylfolate is enough for most people.
The enteric coated product is what you need to look for in P5P.
The presence of the B2 is optional. Not all P5Ps are enteric coated, and hence protected from stomach acids.
