You can still use the 5mg and just take it twice a WEEK, to get the dose you want.
I have to wonder about the studies also for homocysteine effects. Recently there have been studies (they quote them on the Mayo site) that vitamins don't work. I have to wonder if ANYONE in research learns from other studies on microgram dosing... EMPTY STOMACH!!! Also P5P should be enteric coated and saved from stomach acids. AND all 3 vitamins should be given in their activated states... so that best results can be had for the MTHFR patients.
Sometimes it is like the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing! ...sigh!
Putting P5P in there with two other ingredients that don't need enteric coating, doesn't make sense. An all in one pill was rather doomed IMO.
When reading "studies" on nutrients, which tend to have results all over the place, we never see what variables are controlled and which are not. I think this is the main reason for all the data which seems to be very hard to corroborate.
Upon reading the NEW ingredients for Metanx...one has to wonder???
