I agree with you on the GNC thing, too. I will ask my daughter if she could get the benfotiamine for me, as she is always ordering stuff online anyway. I just don't know what the proper dosage for a Cipro floxed person is to take. Would it be similar to 150mg?
Also, when I get supplements, I like to get it "as is" - meaning without other supplements added on to it the way slowmag does it.
Here's something interesting about my experience with Acetyl L Carnitine that might sound funny. I have a small bald spot on the back of my head, but since I have been taking the Acetyl L Carnitine, I have noticed that I'm growing some hair back there -thin and slow, but definitely growing in more. I don't know if that's my imagination or some kind of unexpected, but welcomed side effect. LOL
