The exact mechanism of action for this combination isn't fully understood, but each component contributes: Gabapentin likely works by affecting calcium channels in nerve cells, reducing pain signals. Methylcobalamin supports nerve function and myelin sheath production. Alpha-lipoic acid's antioxidant effects may protect nerve cells from further damage.
