Axoden Plus Capsule is a nutritional supplement that revitalizes neurons and nourishes the body with essential vitamins and minerals. It contains Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6), Folic acid, Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12), Alpha-lipoic acid, Benfotiamine, and Chromium. It is indicated to treat nerve pain and damage in peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to high blood sugar levels), and post-surgical neuropathy. It relieves symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning, and needle-like sensations in the hands and feet. It is also used to treat spinal cord injuries and neuralgia symptoms.

• Pyridoxine is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. It also helps in cognitive development through the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters and maintains normal homocysteine levels (an amino acid in the blood).
• Methylcobalamin regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. It helps rejuvenate and protect damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin and treats nerve pain.
• Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and decreases nerve pain, paresthesia, and numbness in neuropathy.
• Benfotiamine, a synthetic form of Vitamin B1 or Thiamine, helps deliver essential nutrients to the nerves and treats numbness, tingling, burning, and needle-like sensations in the hands and feet.
• Folic acid helps in repairing nerve injury and also improves diabetic neuropathy symptoms. 
• Chromium helps control blood sugar levels in diabetes and thus prevents nerve damage due to increased blood sugar.
