For Dietary Supplementation "I suffer from psoriatic arthritis and leg and foot pain and fatigue. I work retail and am on my feet 8 to 10 hours a day. I never felt rested as my legs would cramp and my feet would feel as if pins were pricking them, along with an electrical shock-type feeling. My balance started to be affected, and my toes were numb all the time. The doctor prescribed Metanx and said I would feel better in about 3 months or sooner. I was skeptical. At first, my feet felt odd, as if they were resisting on purpose, and I began to feel life in my toes again. By the 2nd month, I showed great improvement. I even look better as I am getting a good night's rest now. I highly recommend this product for leg and foot pain, be patient. You will not regret it."

For Dietary Supplementation "Suffering from both diabetes and its sequelae, as well as vascular insufficiency in my legs and feet, every step I've taken for the past three years has been extraordinarily painful, with both severe leg cramping and the burning, numbness, and imbalance of neuropathy. My endocrinologist gave me a two-week sample, and within three days, the vascular cramping disappeared. I still have neuropathy but sense it lessening. Ironically, two years ago, after an inexplicable failed arterial stent, a hematologist found that I was deficient in vitamins B12, B6, and folic acid, which can affect blood coagulation. I've been taking these supplements in OTC products since then and have not seen any change until Metanx. Activated folic acid is the difference!!"

For Dietary Supplementation "Can't swear it's working, but I think it is. Only been on it a little over a month, but after having this pain for two years, I can gauge today that it's about 30% better, the pain anyway. I still have numbness and cramping when in bed, and it still feels like the bones in my feet are broken, but it's just not as harsh. I have wasted so much time and money on shots, boots, orthotics, Gabapentin, RA meds... why not try this then? I did just get diagnosed with diabetes. So I'm googling everything about medical food, clinicals, reviews, and adding my experience just in case it will help someone decide to try it or not for a little while to see. Hope you all get relief one way or another. Good luck!"
