There is B6 in the Metanx. So you really don't need high dose
B complex. A good multivit...or "stresstab" type should do. This is one moderate doses B-complex. http://www.jarrow.com/product.php?prodid=57 If you choose the B-Right... take your aspirin 1 hr before this combo, since it has a small amount of niacin 25mg in it. This is a very small amount compared to the Niaspan... so it won't matter much. Or you could just do Centrum. I don't think you need higher because of the Metanx. You can take the D anytime. If oil type caps, with food is okay.

This answer is generic...for everyone.
If you choose the R-lipoic stabilized, 100mg a day to start is a good dose. You can raise it later if you tolerate it. Some of us find it too stimulating in higher doses. This new form is so much more absorbed than the older forms, 100mg is a good dose for most people. The acetyl carnitine would be 500mg a day to start, and work up to 2 grams a day divided doses, if necessary. These are for mostly mitochondrial damage. If your PN is not of this type, they may not work. The lipoic acid will also improve glucose utilization, and provide some antioxidant effects. It is more globally acting than the carnitine. The acetyl carnitine has been used for chemo drug damage and HIV drug damage. Both cause toxic neuropathies.

I believe that it was in this thread that someone said they were taking 600 mg of benfotiamine. I'd be grateful for guidance and opinions regarding dose size for benfotiamine. I'm taking 300 mg now.

I take 250mg of the Mega Benfotiamine by Life Extension. It was added to my ALA and other supplements a couple of months ago. The rate of nerve healing went way up. My feet are almost healed now.
My Autonomic neuropathy was only noticed in my feet as far as what I could feel but with my POTS, it is all over of course. My OI (POTS) is so much better now also. It is very exciting. I am thankful for supplements that heal. |

I just added this study to my Benfotiamine link:
Quote:
Because it is so much more absorbed, and because it stays around LONGER...not excreted so quickly... I have qualms about such high doses. I searched PubMed recently and there are no papers to speak of for this nutrient on dosing. I found ONE paper for cardiac damage indicating 400mg a day in a small subset of patients. I found only 2 pgs on PubMed, and those were mostly in animals, and from other countries. So I will remind people here, that the high 600mg or more dose a day... comes from sites that sell this. For that reason, I personally cannot endorse it at those levels or beyond. But since this is OTC...you can do what you choose, based on what you learn about it. If you decide to do this very high dose, just be very vigilant. It may be that only weeks are needed for this way. There is no evidence that really LONG term use, is safe yet, or that effective for most people. I, myself, take 150mg a day. This keeps me from severe burning. I also drink moderately 2 or 3 times a week, depending.

Thank you. When I said all over, the Autonomic Neuropathy affects the blood vessels (OI) heart etc, but the place I can feel it is my feet. I responded great to all of my supplements, but the ALA and especially the have been healing for me.
