Methycobalamin + Zinc
How it works
Methylcobalamin is an active form of vitamin B12, and a coenzyme of methionine synthase, which is required for DNA and protein methylation. In addition, methylcobalamin facilitates neurite outgrowth and inhibits neural apoptosis through the Erk1/2 and Akt signaling pathways. Zinc can treat acute and chronic diarrhea by inhibiting three out of the four main intracellular pathways of intestinal ion secretion, including cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), calcium, and nitric oxide.
