Mode of actions

Mecobalamin is the active form of vitamin B12 that works in the nervous system. It is a water-soluble vitamin found in the body. Mecobalamin helps an enzyme called methionine synthase, which transfers methyl groups and helps turn homocysteine into methionine. In cases of anemia, mecobalamin boosts the production of red blood cells by supporting the creation of genetic material (nucleic acids) in the bone marrow and helping red blood cells grow and divide.
