Benfotiamine useful even if you have good B1 levels?
 

My blood level is normal. Will this be of any help?

Bumpity bump.

While i'm at it, what about CoQ10?

I think either benfotiamine or Co Q10 by themselves would likely be of somewhat limited value unless there is a specific deficiency.

But, when taken as part of a larger supplementation program to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, heal nerves, repair mitochondria, etc. - they could be of significant value.

At least that's what I'm hoping for.................

I was wondering this too...I'm the "healthiest person" every blood test etc comes back with perfectly normal levels. So would supplementing help or hurt? I was supplementing with b12 and my doc told me to stop b/c my levels were too high ( I will ask exactly what they were tomorrow). So, is having too much a bad thing? do I continue to supplement?

Not sure about B12 but too much B6 can cause PN.

My B6 was high so I quit my multi.

Now all I take is alcar, r-lipoic, turmeric, vitamin d, and fish oil

Vitamin toxicity is a real thing, people have died, or got serious ill from taking mega doses of vitamin, and high level also predisposes you of it. Since vitamin supplments are not regulated, you dont really know how much companies put in there, and if its contaminated, since it does not to be prove for efficacy and safety.
It depends how much you are taking everyday.

You should get a zinc level measured (and a copper/zinc ratio too). Did you know that males lose quite a bit of zinc in each ejaculate? Males can develop low zinc and not even know it. Eating alot of vegetables contains phytates, which can complex zinc out of the food and prevent its absorption. One cardinal sign of low zinc is loss of taste and smell. People may lose hair and also be more prone to infections, when zinc is low.

Low copper shows up in patients with MS. Many MS doctors routinely test for copper. And we have recently had 2 posters here (one is currently Healthgirl) who were low in copper.

Copper and zinc may be low in patients using acid blocking drugs for long periods of time. The reduction of acid in the stomach inhibits absorption of several nutrients...
B12
Folate
iron
zinc
magnesium
calcium
(and suspected other trace minerals).
