Hill.....I just looked this product up and checked out the info...Well it uses folate (2.8 mg),B-6 (25 mg), and B-12 (2 mg) Methylcobalamin...It uses the active forms which are good but the folate and Methylcobalamin amounts are tiny so you'd have to take about 10 a day.
In fact they're recommendation of 2 mg a day of Methylcobalamin is small compared to the Life Extension Japanese clinical studies of 40 mg a day of Methylcobalamin that reversed neuropathy.
However the price at the amount (mg's) they list $23.87 a month is not bad so you may want to try it and see if it helps.....

Thank-you sir for your response, I have been taking these food supplement pills for 30 days they were prescribed buy my doctor to see if they would work for the problem I'm having, the relief of the tingling and burning sensation has subsided in my feet I am sure that I will have to take these pills more than 30 days to see if they are going to work. I have a problem with Peripheral Neuropathy which I have been dealing with for quite some time, maybe could be three to five years.

I take other medication which I do not want to get into at this time because I'm sure that you don't want to hear about it at this time. My main question was to see if anybody else is taking that particular pill.

Thank you
