Metanx has 3 unique things ...
Besides the methylB12 it has methylfolate (which is no longer available OTC)
This special folate is for people with genetic failures in folate metabolism. There are 25 newly identified ones. The Merck company greedily decided to no longer sell it to vitamin distributors (in 800 mcg strengths) and to save it for the 2
RX versions -- Metanx and Cerefolin. This is just reprehensible IMO.
Also the B6 in Metanx is activated P5P--- to help those who fail with
regular pyridoxine which needs internal conversion to work.
If your insurance pays for it, I'd keep it. I am thinking of requesting it myself,
if my insurance accepts it, as a matter of fact.
