Has anyone been prescribed EB-N5?

Thanks Proteusx for you suggestions. I too was recently prescribed NB-N5 by my pain doctor. But couldn't get any good answers as to the amount of research that's been done on this. They want a $150.00 for (I think) a 3 month supply. I currently take a B12 and Magnesium Glycinate, in addition to a 150mg Lyrica tablet a day. That's been keeping my PN in check fairly well, although some nights are still tough. So, I just looked up your recommendations for, as you say "B12, alpha lipoic acid, vitamin D, methylfolate and vitamin D3 individually from well known brands,..." and found that there is quite a wide variety of dosages and brands, associated with varying pricing (which altogether would actually add up to close to what EBM are asking for their NB-N5 product). Based on that I have a follow up question, if you'd be so kind. Could you recommend specific dosages of the above, so as to allow me to be more precise in my research? That would be super helpful. Thanks

The doses I use are as follows (daily): B12 500 mcg (micrograms), alpha lipoic acid 600 mg (as used in almost all studies), vitamin D3 5000 IU (but this one I use every other day), methyfolate (the preferred form of folic acid) 1000 mcg (probably safe up to 2000 mcg per day but opinions vary on this). Hope this helps. I use the powder form of alpha lipoic acid and mix it into juice. A third party tested and approved brand in the powder form is the Bulk Supplements brand (with which I have no connection, financial or otherwise).

I strongly advise anyone taking a lot of supplements regularly subscribe to a reliable, respected third party tester's data base, as a very significant number of supplements are mislabeled, contain dangerous contaminants, etc. I personally used ConsumerLab, which is the largest and most respected of these.

I'm surprised that no one has posted to say they're familiar with EB-N5. That leaves me wondering if EB-N5 is a relatively new approach to helping with PN. I'll be taking the capsules at my neurologist's suggestion. The capsules are due to arrive Monday. I understand if I'm to give EB-N5 a fair shot, I'll need to take them for at least three months, but for an even fairer shot, six months. I'm not going to hope for a miracle. After all, those of us living with PN know how rare miracles are. Yet, what have I got to lose? I'll let any who are interested know how may experience with EB-N5 goes.
