How it works
Mecobalamin is the neurologically active coenzyme form of vitamin B12. It participates in methionine synthesis via methionine synthase, promotes axonal myelination, and supports nucleotide and myelin synthesis, facilitating nerve regeneration and function.
Storage
Store at room temperature below 25°C, protected from light. Avoid exposure to high humidity.
