1. WHAT IS Milgamma N CAPSULES AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Lack of vitamins B1, B6, B12 causes various disorders of the nervous system. Milgamma N treats diseases of the nervous system (systemic nervous diseases) caused by a proven deficiency of vitamins B1, B6 and B12.
Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 that is formulated to be absorbed much better by the body than the same dose of regular water-soluble vitamin B1. Once in the body, benfotiamine is converted into vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 regulates the breakdown of carbohydrates, which is especially important for nerve metabolism.

Vitamin B6 regulates the breakdown of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
Vitamin B12 is necessary for cell metabolism, normal functioning of hematopoiesis and the nervous system, regulates the synthesis of nucleic acids, resulting in the formation of new cell nuclei.
