Each capsule contains L-methylfolate, methylcobalamin and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. METANX provides the nutrients needed to help improve blood flow, which helps with nerve repair. It allows the body to help manage diabetic nerve damage and the resulting symptoms such as pain, numbness, and uncomfortable tingling.
METANX is a medical food sold by prescription and should be used under medical supervision. Please talk to your healthcare provider to determine if METANX is right for you.
Active folate helps your body stimulate blood flow and deliver essential nutrition to your nerves damaged by diabetes. For some people, not having enough folate can lead to a worsening of complications over time.
Folic acid is not the same as the active folate found in METANX. Unlike METANX, non-active folic acid needs to be broken down (or activated) by your body before it can be used. Unfortunately, about 70% of all people have a compromised ability to complete this activation.
METANX capsules work with or without pain-management products, providing the nutrients needed that can then allow your body to improve the health of nerves damaged by diabetes, so you have less pain and better sensation in your feet.
Metanx is specially formulated with key nutrients needed to help improve blood flow and repair nerves damaged by diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Taken twice daily, Metanx capsules provide you with already activated folate so your body does not have to go through the extra steps needed to benefit from it.
Introducing Metanx FC™. Same efficacy, now Free & Clear. Metanx FC™ is a dye free, vegetarian capsule. It is free from major allergens including milk, eggs, fish or shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soy, in addition it is sugar free.
Your body will need time to start feeling the benefits of METANX. It may take 2-3 months before you start feeling a difference.
Signs of improvement may actually include pain or tingling sensations in areas of your body where you felt numbness before (most likely in your feet and/or hands). These sensations may indicate that METANX is addressing nutritional imbalances and improving the proper blood flow to facilitate nerve repair. Eventually, the pain and tingling may subside.
Do not stop taking METANX without first talking to your doctor.
In studies, the side effects of METANX were similar to those of placebo (a pill or liquid with no active medicine). In rare cases, METANX may cause mild stomach upset or rash.
