EB-N5® INGREDIENTS
L-methylfolate calcium 6 mg This is a man-made form of b-vitamin
Methylcobalamin 4 mg This is natural form of B12 - According to NutritionFacts.org it is not stable, more expensive, and you have to take a lot more than the Cyanocobalamin Form
Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate 70 mg The active form of B6 (so careful!!)
Alpha-lipoic acid 600 mg Well known to be helpful for a lot of us
Cholecalciferol 5000 IU This is Vitamin D3. I take 10,000, but live in a cold climate.

I've over simplified I'm sure, but I don't see anything special about this mix of Vitamins we can get easily anywhere.
May I ask the cost to purchase this? I don't imagine it is cheap. Also, it is called a "Medical Food". I know the term has been around a little while, but it seems like smoke and mirrors to me.

I’m new here. Have had neuropathy in my feet for over a decade. Not diabetic but overweight. I take pain meds. They are like gold to me. Guess I should be researching their long term use side effects. I saw your comment on this medical food drug. I want to know what’s wrong with “medical food”? Wouldn’t that be wonderful if it was nutritious and helpful without being a pharmaceutical drug? And while I’m trying to understand all you said I want to say I did read that high doses of B12 can be bad for kidneys
