Alpha Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant that protects nerve tissues from the harmful effects of free radicals and helps maintain nerve health.
Folic Acid provides essential nutrients to the nerves promoting nerve function and health.
Methylcobalamin, a form of Vitamin B12, helps in the production of myelin, a protective layer on the nerve fibres, and promotes nerve regeneration.
Pregabalin works by binding to calcium channels on nerve cells which decreases the release of neurotransmitters thereby reducing pain signals to the brain.
Vitamin B6/Pyridoxine aids in the production of myelin and promotes nerve cell development and regeneration. Together, these components provide a comprehensive approach to managing neuropathic pain by nourishing the nerves, protecting them from damage, and regulating pain signals.
