Nerve Pain

How it works

Binds to alpha-2-delta subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels, reducing calcium influx and neurotransmitter release in nociceptive pathways, while methylcobalamin, alpha-lipoic acid, and pyridoxine restore myelin integrity, enhance mitochondrial energy metabolism, and facilitate neurotransmitter synthesis to promote peripheral nerve regeneration and reduce neuropathic pain.
