Each capsule contains L-methylfolate calcium, an active form of folate, and other essential B vitamins (B6 and B12) that allow the body to help manage diabetic nerve damage and the resulting symptoms such as pain, numbness, and uncomfortable tingling. METANX® provides the nutrients needed to improve blood flow, which helps with nerve repair.
METANX® is prescribed by healthcare professionals and should be used under medical supervision. Please see your healthcare provider to determine if METANX® is right for you.

Why Damaged Nerves Need Activated Folate
Active folate helps your body stimulate blood flow and deliver essential nutrition to your nerves damaged by diabetes. For some people with diabetes, not having enough folate can lead to a worsening of complications over time.
How METANX® is Different
Folic acid is not the same as the active folate found in METANX®. Unlike METANX®, non-prescription folic acid needs to be broken down (or activated) by your body before it can be used. Unfortunately, about 50% of all people have a compromised ability to complete this activation.
METANX® capsules taken twice daily can provide you with already-activated folate, so your body does not have to go through all the steps needed to benefit from it.
How You May Benefit from METANX®
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.
How METANX® Works
Pain medications only mask pain. METANX® capsules give your body the nutrients needed to help improve blood flow and work to help repair nerves. As a result of these nutrients, instead of just feeling better, your nerves damaged by diabetes can actually improve with METANX®.
What to Expect
When Starting METANX®
Because diabetic nerve damage takes years to develop, 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.
No Additional Worries
The side effects of METANX® are about the same as those of a placebo (a pill or liquid with no active medicine). In rare cases, METANX® may cause mild stomach upset or rash.
