How Gabaswift Products work
Gabapentin + Methylcobalamin + Alpha Lipoic Acid is a combination of three medicines: Gabapentin + Methylcobalamin + Alpha Lipoic Acid1, Gabapentin + Methylcobalamin + Alpha Lipoic Acid2 and Gabapentin + Methylcobalamin + Alpha Lipoic Acid3. Gabapentin + Methylcobalamin + Alpha Lipoic Acid1 is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells. Gabapentin + Methylcobalamin + Alpha Lipoic Acid2 is a form of vitamin B which helps in the production of myelin, a substance that protects nerve fibers and rejuvenates damaged nerve cells. Gabapentin + Methylcobalamin + Alpha Lipoic Acid3 is a naturally occurring fatty acid which has a protective effect on brain and nerve tissue. Together, they relieve neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).
