Vitamin B is the complex form, but it comprises of other types of compounds. Essential of them all is the B1 found in almost all nerve damage supplements. Usually, B1 is in the form of Thiamine and Benfotiamine, but the latter is generally absorbed with ease as compared to the former. Besides, Benfotiamine is less toxic than Thiamine. Once absorbed by the body cells, it produces beneficial effects by inducing a reverse of inflammation and pain levels relating to nerve and cell damage.
Studies indicate that diabetic patients have a higher tendency of suffering nerve damage due to low levels of Thiamine compounds in their bodies.
