A nutritional supplement composed of Centella asiatica extract, melon extract rich in the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), vitamin D3 and the B vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin) and B6 (pyridoxine), that can potentially be used to reduce edema, paresthesia and pain. Upon oral administration of the centella asiatica/melon extract/vitamins supplement, the Centella asiatica may reduce inflammation, pain and swelling. In addition, Centella asiatica promotes the normal function of the microcirculation, memory and cognitive functions. SOD scavenges superoxide radicals and may protect against oxidative stress-induced damage and exerts anti-inflammatory effects. The B vitamins contribute to the maintenance of the nervous system. Vitamin D3 contributes to the maintenance of muscle and bone health.
