Product Information:

NERVON 500mcg Tablets contain Methylcobalamin 500 micrograms, an active, bioavailable form of Vitamin B12. Unlike cyanocobalamin (synthetic B12), methylcobalamin is directly utilized by the body without conversion and plays a critical role in nerve function, red blood cell formation, and DNA synthesis.

This formulation is specifically designed for neurological support and management of vitamin B12 deficiency-related neuropathies.

3. Support in megaloblastic anemia due to B12 deficiency
4. Adjunctive therapy in nerve regeneration and neurodegenerative conditions
5. Prevention of B12 deficiency in vegetarians, elderly, or post-gastric surgery patients

Key Benefits of (NERVON 500MCG TABLETS):

1. Active form of B12—no liver conversion needed
