Metanx® Product Description
Metanx® is a prescription combination product containing the active, naturally occurring forms of folate, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 used by the body.
Traditional oral vitamins are synthetic forms of the nutrients found in nature. This is the case for common B-vitamins such as folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. Each of these must be converted into their natural, active forms before they can actually be used by the body's cells for such vital functions as DNA production, cell reproduction and homocysteine metabolism.
| B Vitamin | Active Form | |
|---|---|---|
| Folic acid |  |
L-methylfolate |
| Vitamin B6 | |
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate |
| Vitamin B12 | |
Methylcobalamin |
The amount of folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 that can be converted into the active forms is often limited. Each person's limitation may vary as influenced by genetic factors as well as age-related and/or metabolic (digestive and absorption) obstacles. For example, up to 50% of the population is unable to fully metabolize folic acid into its active form, L-methylfolate. More detailed information is provided on the Metanx® website.
| Each Metanx® tablet contains: | |
|---|---|
| L-methylfolate | 3mg |
| Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate | 35mg |
| Methylcobalamin | 2mg |
The active, natural occurring B-vitamins in Metanx® are directly associated with metabolizing homocysteine, a risk factor for vascular disease, and improving the overall health of the blood vessels.
