Alpha Lipoic Acid+gamma Linolenic Acid+pyridoxine Hydrochloride+methylcobalamin+chromium
About
Alpha Lipoic Acid+gamma Linolenic Acid+pyridoxine Hydrochloride+methylcobalamin+chromium belongs to the class of 'nutritional supplements, primarily used to treat neuropathic pain and 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.
Alpha Lipoic Acid+gamma Linolenic Acid+pyridoxine Hydrochloride+methylcobalamin+chromium contains Alpha lipoic acid, Gamma-Linolenic acid, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Methylcobalamin, and Chromium. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. Gamma-Linolenic acid helps nourish and protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin (Mecobalamin/vitamin B12) regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Chromium helps control blood sugar levels in diabetes and thus prevents nerve damage due to increased blood sugar.
