Medicinal Benefits

Benfoceum Capsule is used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It contains Alpha-lipoic acid, Benfotiamine, Folic acid, Inositol, Pyridoxine hydrochloride, and Methylcobalamin. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. It also protects the nerve cells from damaging degradation products and free radicals. Benfotiamine, a synthetic form of Vitamin B1 or Thiamine, helps deliver essential nutrients to the nerves. It improves mental health symptoms in people addicted to alcoholism and pain caused by diabetic neuropathy. Folic acid helps form red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Inositol works by dilating the blood vessels and improving blood circulation to the legs, toes, and fingers, thereby relieving pain. Pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6) is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin is a coenzyme form of vitamin B12. It regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.

Uses of Benfoceum Capsule

Nutritional deficiencies and neuropathic pain.
