There are many homocysteine formulas out there.
You just have to choose methylfolate, and methylcobalamin containing ones. The P5P is optional as it is not methylated.
All 3 ingredients are OTC. You can purchase them separately yourself if you want. Or get a mixture, which usually costs more.
Metanx is RX because it has more than 1mg of folate in it. FDA requires RX for high dose folate products.
Methylcobalamin requires empty stomach for absorption. But folate does not. P5P is acid sensitive and needs to be specially coated, and some labs do that, but not all provide it with an enteric coating. I don't believe Metanx does, as it is now a capsule.
Metanx on Wiki gives the formula if you need to see it.
You probably don't need the high folate, and OTC folate is 800mcg =.8mg
We've had many discussions on Metanx here over the years.
If you use our search function using it as a keyword a long list of the threads will appear.
