Default Need sub for metanx

My husband has PN in his toes and takes the usual 2 capsules of metanx daily. They are so expensive that we are looking for a supplement recommendation if possible. I've read other thresds/post by you and i'm just a little confused. I guess I'd just like to know "which suplements, dosage, frequency and where to purchase the purest, quality contolled supplements" All the discussion of p5p and other products made me wonder which we should get. Thank you for helping poeple with this issue

I'll give you the names of brands that are GMP and quality:

NOW (makes P5P)
http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-P-5-P...1&sr=null&ic=3

Solgar ( Metafolin) online mostly.
Doctor's Best:
http://www.iherb.com/Doctor-s-Best-B...3&sr=null&ic=1
this is a fairly new product and very affordable and quality.

Jarrow: (methylcobalamin).
Puritan's
Doctor's Best

Make sure you take the B12 on an empty stomach so it is absorbed properly.
And you don't need the high dose of methylfolate that is in Metanx. Start at 800mcg.

I am using the Costco generic now for my methylB12. It works out to 6 cents a day.
But I previously used Puritan's 5mg and was tested after 3months with very high levels. So I know that worked and was absorbed.
Methylcobalamin is making its way into stores locally, finally.
The other two less likely locally, and better online.
iherb.com and Amazon both have highly reduced prices.

For someone with small fibre neuropathy, caused by inflammation. No Autoimmune disease. Possible Epstein Barr Virus caused the Neuropathy in the past few years.

My condition is Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Hypermobility, it doesn't really effect me bar from the neuropathy, which is not caused directly by the genetic condition, but makes it easier for inflammation and viruses to damage them etc, which is why I believe I can heal.

Would this be helpful for regeneration of nerves.

Paleo Diet - All Organic Fruits, Vegetable and 100% Grass Fed Meats/Eggs.
Vitamin D 1000UI
General Multi Vitamin
Vitamin C 1000mg
Methylcobalamin 1000UG
Fish Oils 1.5-3.0mg EPA/D etc.
Aceyl L-Cartinine
COQ-10 100mg
Alpha Lipoic Acid 250mg
Benfotiamine

Please feel free to add suggestions and advice, I want to give my body the best chance of repairing my nerves, reducing inflammation to prevent further damage.
