Mecofol Tablet 10 contains methylcobalamin (500 mcg), which works on your body as follows:

• Red Blood Cell Formation: Methylcobalamin aids in the production of red blood cells. These cells are responsible for delivering oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body.
• DNA Synthesis: This component assists in the creation of DNA, the genetic material in all cells. DNA synthesis is important for cell division and growth.
• Neurological Function: Methylcobalamin helps maintain a healthy nervous system by contributing to the upkeep of the myelin sheath that coats nerve fibres.
• Cardiovascular Health: It plays a role in converting homocysteine into methionine, reducing homocysteine levels and thereby potentially lowering the risk of heart diseases.
