About

ALL OUR VITAMINS COME FROM UK PHARMACIES

Each 5ml ampoule contains:

Thiamine Hydrochloride 250 mg

Thiamine helps to turn food into energy and to keep the nervous system healthy. Your body is not able to make thiamine for itself. However, you can usually get all you need from your food.

Synthetic thiamine can be used to treat or prevent vitamin B1 deficiency (this is when you do not have enough of this vitamin in your body).

Riboflavin (as Phosphate Sodium) 4 mg

Vitamin B2 Benefits

Riboflavin, along with all other B vitamins, plays an important role in breaking down nutrients in food—including carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—to produce energy. Without it, we simply could not function. It can also help prevent or treat migraines, certain cancers, cataracts, preeclampsia, seizures, and dementia. Vitamin B2 is also beneficial for heart health.1 It appears to do so by maintaining the metabolic integrity of the body, while minimizing certain byproducts of metabolism, such as homocysteine, that are harmful to cells.2

In addition to its role in metabolism and blood cell synthesis, vitamin B2 enables the conversion of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) to its active coenzyme form and the conversion of tryptophan to niacin.3 Here is what some of the current research says:

Migraines

According to the National Institutes of Health, vitamin B2 is showing a lot of promise as a potential treatment for migraine headaches. Migraines are believed to be caused by changes in the brainstem or Imbalances in brain chemicals.

Riboflavin appears to help overcome these imbalances by improving respiration and energy production within the mitochondria of brain cells.

A 1998 study published in the journal Neurology found that migraine-prone adults who took 400 milligrams (mg) of riboflavin per day had two fewer migraine attacks per month than people who took a placebo.

A subsequent study reported similar results in children.4

Cancer

There is also evidence that vitamin B2 be helpful in preventing cancer.5 The underlying theory is that riboflavin can protect cellular DNA from being damaged by cancer-causing agents like cigarette smoke.

At its heart, cancer is the breakdown of normal cellular function in which cells no longer undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death). If this happens, cells can suddenly reproduce out of control and form tumors.

By stabilizing the structure of cellular DNA, scientists believe that certain cancers, like esophageal cancer and cervical cancer, may be avoided.

Although riboflavin deficiency is known to be an independent risk factor for both of the conditions, it is unclear what, if any, amount of riboflavin would be needed to achieve a tangible reduction in risk.

Corneal Disorders

Cataracts are a common aging-related condition in which the lens of the eye begins to cloud over. People who have riboflavin in their diet appear to have a lower risk of developing cataracts.6

A 2014 study from Tufts University suggested that as little as 2 micrograms (μg) of riboflavin can reduce the risk of cataracts in malnourished people.

Riboflavin is also important in the synthesis of niacin, with higher niacin levels corresponding to a reduction in cataract risk.

Riboflavin eye drops are sometimes used with ultraviolet (UV) light therapy to treat a degenerative eye disorder known as keratoconus. When used together, the eye drops and UV radiation reinforces the corneal collagen and stabilizes the lens.

Homocysteinemia

Homocysteine is a common amino acid found in the blood. High levels of homocysteine (referred to as homocysteinemia) are associated with an array of adverse medical conditions, including stroke, dementia, heart attacks.

Riboflavin supplements taken daily can reduce homocysteine levels by up to 40% in some people.

According to a study published in Circulation, a 25% reduction of homocysteine reduces the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) by 11% to 16% and the risk of stroke by 19% to 24%.

Similarly, a reduction in homocysteine may reduce the risk of neurocognitive disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, vascular dementia, and epilepsy, according to research from Northumbria University in England.7

When prescribed with anticonvulsant drugs, riboflavin lowers homocysteine levels by 26%, ensuring better seizure control.

High homocysteine level can also increase the risk of preeclampsia, a potentially dangerous complication of pregnancy characterized by a sharp rise in blood pressure. Supplementation with riboflavin, folic acid, and vitamin B12 is commonly used to reduce the risk.

Pyridoxine Hydrochloride 50 mg

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6, or pyridoxine, is a water-soluble vitamin found naturally in many foods, as well as added to foods and supplements. Pyridoxal 5’ phosphate (PLP) is the active coenzyme form and most common measure of B6 blood levels in the body. PLP is a coenzyme that assists more than 100 enzymes to perform various functions, including the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats; maintaining normal levels of homocysteine (since high levels can cause heart problems); and supporting immune function and brain health.
