Mecofol A 1.5 MG Capsule 15 contains four active ingredients that work together:

• Alpha lipoic acid (100 mg): This potent antioxidant helps reduce oxidative stress which contributes to diabetic neuropathy. It also enhances antioxidant protection by increasing glutathione levels and improves blood circulation to the nerves.

• Folic acid (1.5 mg): This nutrient plays a vital role in supporting the functional recovery of damaged nerves, promoting cell multiplication and enhancing nerve conduction velocity.

• Methylcobalamin (1500 mcg): An active form of Vitamin B12, Methylcobalamin is involved in synthesising myelin which aids in regenerating damaged nerve cells and supports nervous system functionality.

• Pyridoxine (3 mg): Also known as Vitamin B6, Pyridoxine acts as a coenzyme in numerous metabolic processes involving proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, supports immune function, and is essential for proper nerve function and bone formation.

• Store Mecofol A 1.5 MG Capsule 15 at room temperature.

• Keep the capsule in its original packaging to protect it from light and moisture.

• As Mecofol A 1.5 MG Capsule 15 is used to manage diabetic neuropathy, aim for a balanced diet with controlled sugar levels. This can help manage your diabetes and subsequently limit further nerve damage.

• Regular exercise helps improve blood sugar control, increase energy levels, and promote a healthy nervous system. However, avoid high impact exercises which may exacerbate neuropathic pain.
