Thiogamma® Turbo-Set Pur: The powerful therapy for diabetic polyneuropathy

About one in three people with diabetes suffers from diabetic polyneuropathy, in which nerve damage can lead to typical symptoms such as tingling, numbness, burning or pain in the feet and hands.The main cause of this nerve damage is oxidative stress caused by diabetes-related altered metabolism.Thiogamma® Turbo Set Pur contains antioxidant alpha lipoic acid, which intercepts free radicals and thus reduces increased oxidative stress.This can alleviate discomfort and improve the quality of life of those affected.A study found a significant reduction in neuropathic symptoms after just three weeks of infusion therapy with 600 mg of alpha-lipoic acid daily.

Area of application
