Alaplex™

Big News!

Alaplex® from The Tetra Corporation has been reformulated to include L-methylfolate calcium, the biologically active form of folate (vitamin B9).

This newly added ingredient enhances the product’s efficacy in managing diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) symptoms, as recent clinical and preclinical studies suggest that L-methylfolate can address the underlying causes of DPN while providing long-lasting symptomatic relief.¹

What is Benfotiamine?

Benfotiamine is enhanced thiamin. Thiamin (also called Thiamine and Vitamin B1) helps turn the food you eat into the energy you need. Thiamin is important for the growth, development, and function of the cells in your body. You can develop thiamin deficiency if you don’t get enough thiamin in the foods you eat or if your body eliminates too much or absorbs too little thiamin. Thiamin deficiency can cause loss of weight and appetite, confusion, memory loss, muscle weakness, and heart problems. Severe thiamin deficiency leads to a disease called beriberi with the added symptoms of tingling and numbness in the feet and hands, loss of muscle, and poor reflexes. Beriberi is not common in the United States and other developed countries. A more common example of thiamin deficiency in the United States is Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, which mostly affects people with alcoholism. It causes tingling and numbness in the hands and feet, severe memory loss, disorientation, and confusion.

What is Alpha Lipoic Acid?

Alpha-lipoic acid or ALA is a naturally occurring compound that’s made in the body. It serves vital functions at the cellular level, such as energy production. ALA is an antioxidant. Antioxidants protect against damage to the body’s cells. There are food sources of ALA such as yeast, organ meats like liver and heart, spinach, broccoli, and potatoes. However, ALA from food does not appear to produce a noticeable increase in the level of free ALA in the body. Studies show that about 30% to 40% of the oral dose of an ALA supplement is absorbed. Studies have shown that ALA is a valuable therapeutic option for diabetic neuropathy.

If Benfotiamine is So Effective, Why Add the other B-Complex Vitamins?

The neurotropic B vitamins B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12(cobalamin) are essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. Studies have found a biochemical synergy becomes apparent in many different pathways in the nervous system, particularly in the peripheral nervous system as exemplified by their combined use in the treatment of peripheral neuropathy.
