Off-label Uses of Neuro Bion Tablet

  1. Pain management: Neurobion tablets may help to reduce pain caused by nerve damage by increasing the levels of nerve growth factor (NGF) and myelin repair. NGF is a protein that helps to promote the growth and repair of nerves, while myelin is the protective sheath that surrounds nerves.
  2. Depression and anxiety: Neurobion tablets may help to improve symptoms of depression and anxiety by increasing the levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood regulation.
  3. Cognitive function: Neurobion tablets may help to improve cognitive function by increasing the levels of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is involved in memory and learning.
  4. Athletic performance: Neurobion tablets may help to improve athletic performance by increasing the levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the body. ATP is used by muscles to produce energy during exercise.
