Milgamma protekt, 90 tablets

For nerve damage (neuropathies) caused by vitamin B1 deficiency.

milgamma protect with benfotiamine

For the treatment of vitamin B1 deficiency. In this way, foot complaints such as tingling, burning or numbness can be alleviated at their source.

Your choice for nerve damage caused by vitamin B1 deficiency
Tingling, burning or aching feet prevent many people from sleeping at night. Nerve damage, so-called neuropathies, can be a possible cause. Those affected often do not know that a vitamin B1 deficiency can also trigger or exacerbate these neuropathies. If you compensate for this deficit, you can alleviate your foot problems. People with diabetes in particular can have an increased risk of vitamin B1 deficiency and neuropathies. The increased blood sugar can damage the nerves and at the same time promote a vitamin B1 deficit.

Benfotiamine is the "better" vitamin B1

• for the treatment of vitamin B1 deficiency as a possible cause of diseases of the nerves
• Fat-soluble vitamin B1 precursor with 5 times higher bioavailability than normal vitamin B1¹
• well tolerated
• also suitable for long-term use

milgamma protekt can compensate for the vitamin B1 deficiency and alleviate the symptoms. The special thing is the active ingredient benfotiamine. The fat-soluble precursor of vitamin B1 is absorbed 5 times better by the body than "simple" vitamin B1 (thiamine). What many do not know: A vitamin B1 deficiency can also cause or worsen nerve damage. It is particularly common in diabetes, and vitamin B1 is increasingly excreted through the kidneys. Diabetics with neuropathies should therefore definitely compensate for the vitamin B1 deficit.

Diabetes has an increased risk of vitamin B1 deficiency

• Significantly lower vitamin B1 concentration in the blood of diabetics² than in healthy people
• increased excretion of vitamin B1 through the kidneys²
• Type 2 diabetics often get less vitamin B1 from food than healthy people.³
• The increased need for vitamin B1 often cannot be met through normal nutrition.

THE MOST FREQUENT CAUSES OF NERVE DISORDERS DUE TO VITAMIN B1 DEFICIENCY AT A GLANCE

DIABETES MELLITUS AND SPECIAL METABOLIC DISEASES
Around 30% of diabetics in Germany have developed neuropathy. Those affected often do not know that a vitamin B1 deficiency can also contribute to neuropathies and even worsen them. It is all the more important to provide the body with sufficient vitamin B1.

MALNUTRITION AND MALNUTRITION
People who eat a very unbalanced diet and mainly consume white flour products run the risk of not taking in enough vitamin B1. A lot of coffee and black tea or raw fish also inhibit the absorption of the vitamin from food. Excessive alcohol consumption can also promote vitamin B1 deficiency.

CHRONIC GASTROINTESTINAL DISEASES
Anyone who cannot eat enough or suffers from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract such as long-term inflammation or gluten intolerance can develop a vitamin B1 deficiency. In contrast, a vitamin B12 deficiency can often be caused by impaired utilization and absorption of vitamin B12 in the intestine, for example due to the intake of acid blockers, or in connection with a vegetarian or vegan diet.

Application :

• Take 1 film-coated tablet daily whole with some liquid
• To treat neuropathies resulting from a vitamin B1 deficiency, milgamma protekt should be taken for at least 3 weeks.

In the case of sensory disturbances caused by diabetic neuropathy, the combination of alpha-lipoic acid and benfotiamine can be useful. Here we recommend the supplementary intake of Thiogamma.
