HOW NUROKIND LC TABLET WORKS

L-Carnitine is an amino acid responsible for energy production, improves muscle health and also helps in the proper functioning of the heart. Methylcobalamin helps to restore the vitamin B12 levels in the body and helps to manage several conditions such as anaemias (decrease in red blood cell count) and nerve related issues. Folic acid is a form of vitamin B9 and helps in the production of red blood cells, improving oxygen circulation in the body.
