Vitamins

Mecobalamin is a derivative of vitamin B12. Compared with vitamin B12, Mecobalamin can improve the conduction of neurons. Its methylated functional groups can participate in the activity of methyl transfer in the biochemical process of the body, promote the metabolism of nucleic acid, protein and fat in nerve tissue, stimulate the synthesis of lecithin in Schwann cells, repair the damaged myelin sheath, and improve the nerve conduction velocity.
