Medicinal Benefits

Benextra Softgel Capsule is used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It contains Benfotiamine, Alpha-lipoic acid, Pyridoxine hydrochloride, Folic acid, and Mecobalamin. Benfotiamine delivers essential nutrients to the nerves. It also treats numbness, tingling, burning, and needle-like sensations in the hands and feet. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and also decreases pain and numbness in neuropathy. Pyridoxine hydrochloride is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation 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.
