Benfree capsule is a unique combination of benfotiamine with methylcobalamin, pyridoxine and folic acid. This medication is a vitamin prescribed to treat or prevent beri-beri, wenicke-korsakoff syndrome, diabetic neuropathy. It is an essential nutrient for development of the nervous system.
Treatment with benfotiamine leads to increased intracellular thiamine diphosphate levels,a cofactor for transketolase. This enzyme directs advanced glycation and lipoxidation end products (AGE?s, ALE?s) substrates to the pentose phosphate pathway, thus reducing tissue AGEs.
Methylcobalamin normalizes protein transport in the cells of diabetic patients. It exhibits inhibitory effects on nerve degeneration in people with neuropathies. Methylcobalamin accelerates the metabolic pathways of nucleic acids, proteins and lipids through its involvement in the transmethylation reaction; thus, it exerts a repairing effect on injured nerve tissues.
In alcoholic neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy the recommended dose is 100 mg 4 times a day. Use under medical supervision.
