About OLFIT NERV CAPSULE

OLFIT NERV CAPSULE contains nutritional supplements used to treat neuropathic pain associated with diabetic neuropathy and nutritional deficiencies. OLFIT NERV CAPSULE might help enhance blood calcium levels, fasten metabolism, facilitate the conversion of glucose into energy, helps improve the body’s oxidative stores, and develop healthy red blood cells. Diabetic neuropathy is a condition in which nerve damage occurs due to high blood glucose levels. It mostly damages the nerves in the legs and feet. A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food.
 
The OLFIT NERV CAPSULE consists of five supplements: Alpha-lipoic acid, Methylcobalamin, Cholecalciferol, Folic acid, and Pyridoxine. Methylcobalamin and pyridoxine help rejuvenate and protect damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents oxidative stress, thereby helps in providing a protective effect on the nerve tissues and brain. Cholecalciferol helps in resolving neuropathic symptoms and improves balance. Folic acid helps in providing essential nutrients. Together, OLFIT NERV CAPSULE helps treat diabetic neuropathy and nutritional deficiencies.
