Frequently asked questions
What is Nurokon 1500mcg Injection?
Nurokon 1500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12, an essential nutrient that the body uses to make red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. Vitamin B12 also plays a role in releasing energy from food and using vitamin B11 (folic acid). It is crucial for overall health.
Why am I struggling with getting enough vitamin B12 through my diet?
