milgamma ^® protekt with benfotiamine is 5 times better absorbed by the body than "simple" vitamin B1. Made in Germany - tested pharmaceutical quality
For the treatment of a vitamin B1 deficiency. This can alleviate the cause of foot complaints such as tingling, burning or numbness.

Your choice for nerve damage caused by a vitamin B1 deficiency
Tingling, burning or painful feet rob many people of their sleep at night. Nerve damage, so-called neuropathies, can be a possible cause. Those affected are often unaware that a vitamin B1 deficiency can also trigger or worsen these neuropathies. Those who compensate for this deficiency can relieve their foot pain. 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 deficiency.


Benfotiamine is the "better" vitamin B1
• for the treatment of vitamin B1 deficiency as a possible cause of nerve disorders
• fat-soluble vitamin B1 precursor with 5 times the bioavailability of normal vitamin B11
• well tolerated
• also suitable for long-term use

milgamma ^® protekt can compensate for vitamin B1 deficiency and alleviate symptoms. Its special ingredient is benfotiamine. This fat-soluble precursor of vitamin B1 is absorbed five times better by the body than "simple" vitamin B1 (thiamine). What many people don't know: Vitamin B1 deficiency can also cause or worsen nerve damage. It is particularly common in diabetes, and vitamin B1 is excreted in increased amounts via the kidneys. Diabetics with neuropathy should therefore definitely compensate for their vitamin B1 deficiency.

Diabetes carries 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 via the kidneys²
• Type 2 diabetics often absorb less vitamin B1 from their diet than healthy people.³
• The increased need for vitamin B1 can often not be met through normal nutrition. ² Thornalley PJ, et al. High prevalence of low plasma thiamine concentration in diabetes linked to a marker of vascular disease. Diabetologia 2007 Oct; 50 (10): 2164–2170.

RECOMMENDED USE:
• Take 1 film-coated tablet daily, unchewed, with some liquid
• To treat neuropathies caused by a vitamin B1 deficiency, milgamma ^® protekt should be taken for at least 3 weeks.
• Suitable for long-term use

THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF NERVOUS DISORDERS CAUSED BY VITAMIN B1 DEFICIENCY AT A GLANCE

DIABETES MELLITUS AND SPECIAL METABOLIC DISEASES
Around 30% of diabetics in Germany have developed neuropathy. Those affected are often unaware that a vitamin B1 deficiency can also contribute to neuropathies and can even worsen them. This makes it all the more important to supply the body with sufficient vitamin B1.

DEFICIENCY AND MALNUTRITION
People who have a very one-sided diet and mainly consume white flour products run the risk of not getting enough vitamin B1. Drinking a lot of coffee, black tea, or raw fish also inhibits the absorption of vitamin B1 from food. Excessive alcohol consumption can also contribute to a vitamin B1 deficiency.

CHRONIC GASTROINTESTINAL DISEASES
People who cannot eat enough or suffer from gastrointestinal disorders 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 use of acid reducers or may be related to a vegetarian or vegan diet.





FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Which is more important for diabetes: vitamin B1 or vitamin B12?
Vitamin B1 deficiency in diabetics can be due to increased requirements and increased excretion via the kidneys. Excessive alcohol consumption can also contribute to vitamin B1 deficiency and thus lead to neuropathic symptoms. Vitamin B1 deficiency is often evident in people with cardiovascular disease, with loop diuretics being a major cause of the deficiency.

In contrast, vitamin B12 deficiency can often be caused by impaired absorption of vitamin B12 in the intestines or by a vegetarian or vegan diet. Taking the diabetes medication metformin can also lead to vitamin B12 deficiency. A vitamin B12 deficiency can manifest itself in fatigue and decreased concentration.
