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.
UNDERSTANDING TENDONS
Tendons are made of connective tissues where it acts as space-saving “connectors” that transfer the movement of the muscle to the bone. One end of the tendon is attached to a muscle. The other end is firmly attached to the membrane covering the bone (the periosteum) or to the bone itself.
What is Tendinopathy? >
Tendinopathy is a condition that occurs when a tendon is overworked or injured. This can happen due to repetitive use, sudden overuse or an acute injury. The common symptoms of tendinopathy include:
• Pain in the affected area
• Swelling in the affected area
• Stiffness in the affected area
• Weakness in the affected area
• Difficulty using the affected area
Compared to muscles, tendons have fewer blood vessels in them too. Because of this, they are prone to injury when overstrained and take a lot longer to heal than other types of tissue in the body.
Tendinopathy is common in the following areas >
Tendons respond to injury and micro-trauma by exhibiting an inflammatory response; a condition known as tendinitis. A failed acute inflammation in the early stage of healing results in tendon degeneration known as tendinosis; a vicious cycle of failed healing and re-injury which is characterized by tenocyte death, tendon degeneration, chronic pain, disability and deformity.
Treatment Options >
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
Adjuvant Therapy Treatment Options >
• Bromelain :
Promotes the regeneration of injured tendons through stimulating tenocyte proliferation, which are cells that make up tendons.
• Epigallocatechin gallatea :
It is a powerful anti-oxidant that protects the tendons from further damage by free radicals, which can contribute to the development of tendinopathy
• Curcumin :
Has anti-inflammatory properties, which means that it can help to reduce inflammation. Inflammation is a major factor in tendinopathy, which causes pain in the affected area.
