Nervon

Description

Nervon 500mcg contains Mecobalamin, an active form of Vitamin B12. It plays a vital role in nerve health and red blood cell formation. Mecobalamin helps restore vitamin B12 levels, supports the production of healthy blood cells, and improves nerve function. It is more efficiently transported to nerve tissues compared to other forms of vitamin B12 and is often prescribed for conditions linked to vitamin B12 deficiency.

Doctors prescribe Nervon for:

• Megaloblastic anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency

• Peripheral neuropathies, including those induced by certain drugs

• Support in nerve regeneration and improvement of nerve-related symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness

How It Works

• Promotes the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins, supporting red blood cell production

• Restores axonal transport in nerve cells, aiding nerve repair and function

• Inhibits nerve degeneration caused by toxins or certain chemotherapy drugs
