How Does Metanx® Work?
What Causes Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy?
How diabetes leads to nerve damage is a subject of intense research, but two main factors are likely involved:8
- Elevated blood sugar levels directly damage the nerves and reduce their ability to send out signals.
- Elevated blood sugar levels also damage the blood vessels and reduce blood flow to the nerves, starving them of the oxygen and nutrients they need to survive.
If you have diabetic neuropathy, there is a good chance that you have reduced blood flow to the nerves in your hands and feet. As a result, your nerves may become damaged and lose the ability to repair themselves.
How Does Metanx® Work in Diabetic Neuropathy?
Metanx® provides nutritional management of endothelial dysfunction associated with numbness, tingling, and burning sensations in diabetes patients with neuropathy.
When Should I Feel the Difference with Metanx®?
Metanx® works to maintain blood flow in the vessels that carry important nutrients and oxygen to the nerves.
Evidence has shown that patients taking Metanx® have experienced a difference within 1 week or up to 4 months.3,11 Individual results may vary. Do not stop taking Metanx® without first talking to your doctor.
Because Metanx® provides distinct nutritional management of endothelial dysfunction associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, you may begin to feel the difference once you have addressed this nutritional need in one or more of the following:
- Numbness
- Burning, Shooting Pain (especially at night)
- Tingling
- Improved sleep
