Accelerates the metabolism of homocysteine thus reducing its level in the blood. Helps to control the oxidative damage done by increased homocysteine levels. Preserves the health of the nervous system. Prevents and treats any underlying nutrient deficiency. Provides the extra boost of the important nutrients during Pregnancy and thus support the growth of the fetus. Prevention of neural tube defects (NTDs). Thus, wide array of applications including reducing risk of heart damage, treating anemia and supplementation before and during pregnancy.

Use of Mecozino in increased homocysteine levels:
Homocysteine is an amino acid which is produced when protein breaks down in your body. If its levels in the blood increase beyond normal levels, it can cause oxidative damage to various parts of the body. An increased level of homocysteine increases the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, dementia, and osteoporosis-related fractures. A high level of homocysteine also indicates deficiency of vitamin B12 and folic acid as these two vitamins help in metabolism and excretion of this amino acid. If these vitamins are deficient, homocysteine cannot be metabolised further, and its levels rise in the blood.
The combination of vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) and Folic acid present in Mecozino is often used to treat increased levels of homocysteine. These vitamins accelerate the metabolism of homocysteine thus reducing its level in the blood. Thiamine and Pyridoxine also help in this conversion as co-enzyme factors.
Mecozino capsules have an added benefit of providing Alpha Lipoic Acid- a known antioxidant which helps to control the oxidative damage done by increased homocysteine levels.

Use in Megaloblastic Anemia:
Red blood cells are the carriers of hemoglobin. One of the main functions of Vitamin B12(Methylcobalamin) and Folic Acid is red blood cells formation and maintaining their shape. Without these 2 vitamins, the red blood cells remain immature and large, and are unable to carry enough hemoglobin. This phenomenon is called “Megaloblastic Anemia” and needs to be corrected using Vitamin B12 supplements instead of iron. Megaloblastic Anemia can have many causes. However, the end result is the same – low hemoglobin levels that don’t respond to iron supplementation.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can also be presented by an increased homocysteine level. However, vitamin B12 alone cannot combat this situation as it requires other co-factors to perform its function. This includes Folic Acid, Pyridoxine and Thiamine. Mecozino Capsules provides these three nutrients in combination with methylcobalamin, thus making it the preferred choice for vitamin B12 supplementation.
Another function of vitamin B12 includes maintaining health of our nerves and thus, the nervous system and brain. A deficiency of vitamin B12 can cause stress and damage to nerves. Alpha Lipoic Acid present in Mecozino Capsules is an antioxidant which helps to prevent this oxidative nerve damage, thus preserving the health of the nervous system.

Use during pregnancy and in Pregnancy-Related Anemia:
Pregnancy is associated with an increase in blood volume (hemodilution) and the blood becomes more diluted. There is also an increase in iron requirements as the body has to support the growth of the fetus. Both these factors lead to a drop in hemoglobin level during pregnancy. This has to be supported with an iron-rich well-balanced diet, iron supplements and supplements of anti-anemic vitamins (Methylcobalamin and Folic Acid).
Mecozino capsules provide the main anti-anemic vitamins i.e., Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) and Folic Acid along with their co-factors Pyridoxine and Thiamin. This supplement may be used in conjunction with iron supplementation to prevent and treat any underlying nutrient deficiency.
Pregnancy is a period of growth, and hence associated with increased nutrient requirements. Mecozino capsules provide the extra boost of the important nutrients during this period and thus support the growth of the fetus.

Use in prevention of Neural Tube Defects:
An important function of folic acid is preventing neural tube defects in a growing fetus. The most common neural tube defects (NTDs) are spina bifida and anencephaly. These defects are permanent, often fatal and the baby cannot survive for too long. They develop in the first month of the pregnancy and most often, mothers are not aware of the pregnancy. NTDs can be detected using sonography and other lab tests. Research has shown that adequate intake of Folic acid before a pregnancy helps to prevent development of these NTDs.
Thus, Mecozino capsules can be used before pregnancy to ensure adequate intake of folic acid thereby preventing these NTDs. Folic acid and vitamin B12 are co-dependent and work together with other co-factors to perform these functions, so it is important to provide enough of these other factors to ensure proper functioning of Folic Acid.
Mecozino provides this blend in a single capsule thus reducing the need to take multiple tablets. In fact, along with the inclusion of Alpha Lipoic Acid, these capsules are unique as they also work to prevent oxidative damage. Capsule Mecozino has a wide array of applications including reducing risk of heart damage, treating anemia and supplementation before and during pregnancy.
