Benfosmith-A Softgel Capsule 10's 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 B1, B6, B12 deficiencies, diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to diabetes), and peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in the hands and feet).

Benfosmith-A Softgel Capsule 10's contains Alpha-lipoic acid, Benfotiamine, Inositol, Folic acid, Pyridoxine hydrochloride, and Methylcobalamin.

Inositol works by dilating the blood vessels and improving blood circulation. Folic acid helps form red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Pyridoxine hydrochloride is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.
