Nervex® 300mg

DESCRIPTION:

Each tablet contains a high potency formulation of the neurotropic vitamin B1, B6, B12 which is scientifically-based. This pharmacodynamic and neurotropic concentration of Thiamine, Pyridoxine and Cyanocobalamin precisely workds in providing etiologic and symptomatic therapy of painful neurological conditions.

Vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin, prevents the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It reacts with free radicals, which are the cause of oxidative damage to all membranes, without the formation of another free radical in process.

Vitamin E deficiency is rare but develops when the dietary intake is inadequate. In children with cystic fibrosis or biliary artresia, malabsorption of fat may lead to Vitamin E deficiency; deficiency may occur in children with abnormalities to lipid transport, as in abetalipoproteinaemia. Low vitamin E concentrations are also found in premature, very low birth-weights infants. In previously healthy adults, malabsorption and low intake of vitamin E must continue for number of years before signs of deficiency appear. The major signs of Vitamin E deficiency are the development of myopathic and neurological disorders.

Folic acid is a member of the Vitmain B group, Folic acid is reduced in the body to tetrahydrofolate, which is a coenzyme for various metabolic processes including the synthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, and hence on the synthesis of DNA: it is also involved in same amino-acid conversion, and in the formation and utilization of formate. Deficiency, which can result in megaloblastic anemia develops when the dietary intake is inadequate (as in malnutrition), when there is malabsorption (asin sprue), increased utilization (as in pregnancy or conditions such as hemolytic anemia), increased loss (as in hemodialysis), or as result of the administration of folate antagonist and other drugs that interfere with normal folate metabolism.
