A: DHV® is a combination of an essential fatty acid that is reduced in the nerves of diabetic patients and a potent lipohilic free radical scavenger.

Alpha Lipoic acid is a scavenger of free radicals. Excess of superoxide anion  cause direct damage in the nerve due to the inhibitory effects of oxide synthase.

Gamma linolenic acid is a precursor of PGE1 which maintains healthy blood flow in the small neural blood vessels and also it form a key structural component of the axonal membrane and the myelin.

In sum, it improves the circulation of the nerves and the structural damage that causes the excess of glucose.
