- Vitamin E is essential to the normal functioning of the human body. It plays a central role in your immune system and functions as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals that damage cells at the genetic level.
- Vitamin E is fat-soluble, meaning that it is dissolved in fat and able to be stored in the liver and fatty tissues of the body.
- Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant (i.e., an inhibitor of oxidation processes) in body tissues. It protects unsaturated fats in the body from oxidation by peroxides and other free radicals. It also acts as an protection of polyunsaturated fatty acids, cell membranes.
- The vitamin is used commercially as an antioxidant to retard the rancidification of fats, especially vegetable oils.

- Methylcobalamin/Mecobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that restores its level in the body thereby helping in treating certain anaemias and nerve problems.

- It is used to treat Vitamin B12 deficiency in people with Pernicious Anemia.
- It is a beneficial drug to most of the common disorders like cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, anaemia, hyperhomocysteinemia and degenerative disorders.
- Methylcobalamin helps in the synthesis of neuronal lipids, regeneration of axonal nerves and has neuroprotective activity, which promotes neurons to function properly and thus improves Alzheimer disease, Parkinsonism, Dementia and neuropathic syndromes.
- It is an approved treatment for peripheral neuropathy.
- It also helps in balancing the levels of homocysteine, which is produced in excess can cause inflammation of blood vessels.
- Nausea and vomiting
