<li> '''[[Vitamin B|B-complex]].''' Most so-called "B-50" formulations (for one a day dosing) seem fairly good, but read the label details before buying. B6 (pyridoxine) is important, but don't supplement more than 50 mg/day. Be warned also that quite a few nutritional supplements you wouldn't expect B-6 in contain B-6: read the fine print on the label. ...There's a whole slew of B-vitamins with different possible impacts on ALS, and it's going to take years to figure out what sort of combination is optimum. Some people are really big on B-12: if you're going to bother, go all the way to 5 mg/day methylcobalamin separately from your B-complex. | <li> '''[[Vitamin B|B-complex]].'''

− | '''B-1 ( | + | '''B-1 (Thiamine) deserves special attention''' (see http://www.als.net/forum/yaf_postst44708_Foot-drop-and-thiamine.aspx ). Here's a summary I posted about page 5 in that thread: |
Most of the posting relating to thiamine is over my head, but I do skim through it anyhow hoping to absorb some information by osmosis. The encouraging PubMed is tempered by an anecdotal report of benfotiamine toxicity. | Most of the posting relating to thiamine is over my head, but I do skim through it anyhow hoping to absorb some information by osmosis.
