How M NEURON FORTE TABLET Works

M NEURON FORTE TABLET helps to manage neuropathies and supports the health of the brain, where alpha-lipoic acid, an antioxidant, delays or reverses diabetic neuropathy. Folic acid is useful for enhancing nerve conduction velocity in diabetic neuropathy. Methylcobalamin works by producing a compound called myelin, which covers and protects nerve fibers and helps to rejuvenate the damaged nerves. Pyridoxine is an essential nutrient that is required for the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins. It is also needed for the synthesis of neurotransmitters (chemical messengers), and vitamin D increases the level of nerve growth factor (which helps in the development and survival of nerves) by stimulating its production and managing its depletion.
