About Benfotiamine+alpha Lipoic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine
Benfotiamine+alpha Lipoic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine belongs to the class of nutritional supplements, primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It effectively treats various conditions caused due to lack of vitamins, such as vitamin B6 and B12 deficiencies, diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to diabetes), and peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in the hands and feet). Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.
Benfotiamine+alpha Lipoic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine contains Benfotiamine, Alpha lipoic acid, Pyridoxine, and Methylcobalamin. Benfotiamine, a synthetic form of Vitamin B1 or Thiamine, helps deliver essential nutrients to the nerves. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. It also decreases pain and numbness in neuropathy. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin (Mecobalamin), a form of vitamin B12, regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.
