About MECOBALAMIN+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+FOLIC ACID+BENFOTIAMINE

MECOBALAMIN+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+FOLIC ACID+BENFOTIAMINE 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.

MECOBALAMIN+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+FOLIC ACID+BENFOTIAMINE contains Benfotiamine, Alpha-lipoic acid, Pyridoxine hydrochloride, Folic acid, and Mecobalamin. Benfotiamine helps deliver essential nutrients to the nerves. Alpha-lipoic acid prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. It also decreases pain and numbness in neuropathy. Pyridoxine hydrochloride is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Folic acid helps form red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Mecobalamin regulates body functions and helps rejuvenate and protect damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin.
