Mechanism of Action

Konavit contains Methylcobalamin, Vitamin B6, Nicotinamide, and Folic Acid, which work together to support nerve health and function. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that helps maintain the health of nerve cells and supports the formation of red blood cells. Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, plays a crucial role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and helps support proper nerve function. Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that contributes to energy production and supports the health of nerve cells. Folic Acid, a form of vitamin B9, is important for the synthesis of DNA and supports overall cell health. Collectively, these active ingredients in Konavit help nourish and protect nerve cells.

Common side effects may include mild gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea or upset stomach. If these side effects persist or become bothersome, it is recommended to consult your healthcare provider.
