How is Metanx® Believed to Work?

Improved Healthy FootPatients with diabetes have a disruption in the metabolic processes which results in progressive neuropathy.

Metanx® provides the nutritional requirements needed by diabetes patients to restore the metabolic processes associated with diabetic neuropathy to support peripheral nerve and blood vessel health.

In doing so, your body produces a natural vasodilator called nitric oxide. As a result, blood flow increases in the vessels that carry important nutrients and oxygen to the nerves.6 Nutritional management with Metanx® also works to assist in nerve functions and nerve repair including production of the myelin sheath, a fatty substance that protects the nerve fibers.

It may take some time before you begin to feel the difference. Evidence has shown that diabetes patients receiving nutritional management with Metanx® have experienced an improvement in symptoms within an average of 3 weeks.13 Every person will respond differently to Metanx®.
