Main Functions:
• Potent antioxidant.
• Benefit in reversing neuropathic problems.
• Regenerates Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Glutathione and CoQ (Ubiquinone)
What is Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)?
Alpha-lipoic acid or ALA is a naturally occurring compound that's made in the body. It serves vital functions at the cellular level, such as energy production.
Main Functions:
• Helps regeneration and repair injured and damaged nerves.
• Reduces nerve pain and neuropathy symptoms caused by diabetes.
• Maintain normal neural function.
What is Vitamin B Complex?
The Vitamin B Complex in Bionerv® contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12.
Vitamin B1 which is also called Thiamin, enables the body to use carbohydrates as energy. It is essential for glucose metabolism, and it plays a key role in nerve, muscle, and heart function. By taking Vitamin B1, it helps prevent complications in the nervous system, brain, muscles, heart, stomach, and intestines.
Vitamin B6, which is also called Pyridoxine, plays an important role in protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. This Vitamin B6 cannot be produced in the body, so it can only be obtained by external factors.
The Vitamin B12, Cobalamin, is an important water-soluble vitamin involved in red blood cell production, brain health and DNA synthesis. This Vitamin B12 can come in different forms such as Cyanocobalamin and Methylcobalamin. In Bionerv®, Methlycobalamin is used.
Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form of vitamin B12 that is not found in nature. Methylcobalamin is a naturally occurring form of vitamin B12 that can be obtained through supplements, as well as food sources.
Methylcobalamin may be retained better within the body.
Both have beneficial effects on health and can prevent B12 deficiencies.
NEUROPATHY
What is Neuropathy >
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that arises when nerves that carry messages to and from the brain, spinal cord and the rest of the body are damaged or diseased.
PAIN AND INFLAMMATION
What is pain and inflammation >
Pain is a general term that describes uncomfortable sensations in the body. It stems from activation of the nervous system. Everyone experiences pain differently due to their different pain tolerance level; some people feel pain that range from annoying to debilitating, some may feel like a sharp stab or dull ache. Pain may also be described as throbbing, pinching, stinging, burning, or sore. Pain can be described as a signaling tool that informs us that something is wrong and hints to us on what is the cause, making it easier for you and healthcare professionals to make accurate and proper diagnosis.
There are several types of pain:
• Acute Pain - Develops over a short period of time
• Chronic Pain - Last, or comes and goes, over multiple months of years
• Nociceptive Pain - Caused by tissue damage
• Functional Pain - Caused by damage to the nerve
Inflammation is a process by which your body's white blood cells and the things your immune system produces that protect you from infection caused by bacteria and viruses. Inflammation can be acute (short-lived) or chronic (long-lasting), which depends on the cause of the inflammation.
Sometimes, inflammation is not caused by infection from outside invaders. It can also be caused by autoimmune diseases. An autoimmune disease is a condition in which your immune system acts as if regular tissues are infected or somehow unusual. This causes your immune system to mistakenly attacks your body, thus triggering inflammation. One example of an autoimmune disease is arthritis.
The scientific cause to pain >
Pain and inflammation is caused by a complex cascading reaction. This cascade of effects include an increase of:
• COX-1 & COX-2 enzyme activity
• 5-LOX enzyme activity
• Oxidative stress
• Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)
• Free Radical Production
• Messenger compounds, including prostaglandins
Enzymatic pathways in the initiation and progression of the inflammatory response
Information about conventional drugs for pain and inflammation >
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used drugs for the treatment of pain and inflammation. There are two main types of NSAIDs, non-selective & selective NSAIDs (also called COX-2 inhibitors). They have been associated with serious adverse effects on the gastrointestinal (GI), kidney and cardiovascular (CV) systems.
Some important information on NSAIDs:
1) NSAID medicines may increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke that can lead to death.
This chance increases:
a. With longer use of NSAID medicines
b. In people who have heart disease
2) NSAID medicines can cause ulcers and bleeding in the stomach and intestines at any time during treatment.
Ulcers and bleeding:
a. Can happen without warning symptoms
b. May cause death
3) NSAID medicines should be avoided if patients have chronic kidney disease.
4) NSAID medicines should never be used right before or after heart surgery, where the surgery is also known as
"coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)".
5) Talk to your healthcare provider before using over-the-counter NSAIDs for more than 10 days.
