After looking at all three formulations, Neuro-gen uses 2,000 mcg Methylcobalamin (B12) and Neurogen uses 1,000 mcg Methylcobalamin (B12) a day so between these formulations, the range for Methylcobalamin is 1,000 to 5,000 mcg. I personally prefer to start with a more conservative dosage, then give it time to work.
In addition, all three formulations use Benfotiamine (B1): Neuro-gen uses 250 mg a day, Dr. Sullivan uses 400 to 600 mg a day. I listened to and read the testimonials, and it sounds like it takes up to 3 weeks for it to begin working. As I recall, 600 mg alpha-lipoic acid, divided into three 200 mg doses, was used in the studies.
My hope, by posting this information here, is that those who are developing diabetic neuropathy will try these nutritional supplement strategies, in combination with LCHF/paleo diet, exercise, and low blood glucose levels, to restore their damaged nerves. It saddens me greatly that too many doctors offer pain management only for peripheral neuropathy when there have been studies showing for more than 10 years that specific nutritional supplements reverse or reduce neuropathy symptoms in many cases.
The information on what to do is out there. It's just a matter of people trying the protocols and reporting their outcomes here or elsewhere on the forum. Dr. Sullivan provides a good, concise overview of available treatments and what's possible here...
