What to know about Neurobion
Neurobion is a brand of supplements that contain a combination of B vitamins. Its manufacturers advertise that Neurobion can help improve nerve function.
Vitamin B-complex supplements, including Neurobion products, can help treat or prevent certain nutrient deficiencies. Talk to a doctor before taking any supplement, as they can interact with medication.
In this article, we look at the possible benefits, side effects, and risks of taking Neurobion.
There are eight B vitamins in total, and each plays a role in making sure that the body’s cells — including the nerve, skin, and brain cells — are functioning properly. Learn about every type of B vitamin here.
Neurobion is a supplement that contains a combination of three B vitamins:
vitamin B-1, also called thiamin
vitamin B-6, also called pyridoxine
vitamin B-12
Two types of the supplement are available in the United States: Neurobion and Neurobion Forte.
Each regular Neurobion tablet contains:
100 milligrams (mg) of vitamin B-1
200 mg of vitamin B-6
200 micrograms (mcg) of vitamin B-12
Each Neurobion Forte tablet contains:
100 mg of vitamin B-1
100 mg of vitamin B-6
5 mg of vitamin B-12
Both Neurobion and Neurobion Forte contain well over 100% of the daily value of each vitamin recommended by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
There are also a number of generic forms of Neurobion, which may contain similar active ingredients.
How to take Neurobion
Neurobion is a daily oral nutritional supplement, meaning that a person takes one tablet per day. Swallow the tablet whole with water.
What can Neurobion help with?
The main benefit of taking Neurobion or similar combinations of B vitamins is to prevent or treat mild B vitamin deficiencies.
B vitamins play an important role in many functions in the body — they support a healthy nervous system, help create red blood cells, and help metabolize and use certain nutrients, for example.
B vitamin deficiencies result from not getting enough of the vitamins from the diet or from the body having difficulty absorbing them.
B vitamin deficiencies can cause various symptoms, such as:
general fatigue
weakness
anemia
weight loss or difficulty gaining weight
signs of nerve damage, such as tingling or numb pains in the hands and feet
poor immune system function
depression
problems with various organs, such as the liver, kidney, or skin
Supplementation with B vitamins, such as those in Neurobion, may help prevent a deficiency that can cause these issues.
By helping to prevent B vitamin deficiencies, Neurobion can help support overall health.
If a person suspects that they have a vitamin deficiency, they should see a doctor for a diagnosis. The doctor can perform blood tests to check for deficiencies and recommend appropriate treatments and supplements.
What are the side effects?
Neurobion is generally safe when a person follows the instructions on the packaging. In some cases, doses of B vitamins can turn the urine bright yellow. This effect is temporary and harmless.
