What is Mecobalamin


What is Mecobalamin:

Mecobalamin or methylcobalamin is the neurologically active form of the Vitamin B12. It is a co-factor in the enzyme methionine synthase which functions to transfer methyle groups for the regenerations of methionine form homocysteine. 

Mecobalamin is considered 130% to 150%  more potent then B12 and helps in the formation of myelin sheath, promotes growth and regeneration of nerve cells.

It is the only form of vitamin B12 which can be directly used by the central nervous system and it is effective for giving a healthy brain and spinal cord support. Mecobalamin supplementation is necessary as the liver is unable to sufficiantly transform cobalamin, the common b12 form into superior Mecobalamin form.


Where used:

Meobalamin is widely used in various neuronal degeneration

  • Peripheral Neuropathy
  • Diabetic Neuropathy
  • Drug Induced Neuropathy
  • Alzheimer's Disease
  • Parkinson's Disease
  • Vertebral Syndrome
  • Nerve Compression Syndrome
  • Diabetic Retinopathy
  • Amyotrophic Leteral Sclerosis (ALS)
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Intercostal Neuralgia
  • Entrapment Neuropathy
  • Lumbago

Reported to used for:

  • Reduce neurotoxicity
  • Lower excess glutamate levels which results in reduction of fatigue
  • Stabilization of mood
  • Improvement of memory
  • Executive function.
 
Mecobalamin at a glance:

  • The only neuro active form of the vitamin B12
  • Most special in neurological disorder management
  • The most effective for providing a healthy brain along-with spinal cord
  • More effective than vitamin B12 in symptoms relief
  • Widely used in various neuronal degeneration

However the clinical trials of Mecobalamin is still small and have not yet been replicated or confirmed.

  1. My father is suffering from Premature Parkinson's diseases[A doctor(?) administrated him some Strong pain-Killer near his back-bone for conjunctively 3years in exchange ofRs300/- daily] for a simple back-bone pain!he didn't even suggest him to go for an X-Ray. We all know know that, pain-killer is not a permanent cure it is just a temprorary relief! but it gave vegetative effect to his cerebellum through the spinal chord which lead to Parkinson's disease. Adoctor based in Japan originally from Assam, India has prescribed him Meaxon 500mg inj. every alternate day! my father's health got significant improvement! now he can walk around, talk and do regular works at home! this is really wonderful vitamine specially formulated for nurve or neuro patients
