Why Methylcobalamin Is Essential for Indians: Deficiency Risks and Affordable Solutions

By March 18, 2025April 26th, 2025No Comments

Have you been feeling unusually tired, dizzy, or experiencing tingling in your hands and feet? 

You might be missing out on a vital nutrient—Vitamin B12. 

Deficiency in this essential vitamin, especially in its active form methylcobalamin, is increasingly common in India and often goes undiagnosed until symptoms start affecting daily life.

Let’s dive into why this deficiency is so widespread, how it impacts health, and how Aster Nova’s Aster Myelin—a trusted methylcobalamin tablet—offers a reliable, affordable solution.

The Alarming Rise of Vitamin B12 Deficiency in India

In India, vitamin B12 deficiency affects nearly 50-60% of the urban population, particularly among vegetarians. This is primarily due to a lack of animal-based food sources rich in B12, such as meat, eggs, and dairy. Additionally, poor dietary diversity, certain medications, and gastrointestinal conditions can interfere with B12 absorption.

Symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency include:

  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Tingling or numbness in hands and feet
  • Irritability and mood swings
  • Memory issues
  • Pale skin and dizziness
  • Shortness of breath

Over time, untreated deficiency can lead to anaemia, neurological issues, and irreversible nerve damage.

Why is Methylcobalamin Important?

Methylcobalamin is the neurologically active form of Vitamin B12. Unlike cyanocobalamin, which requires conversion by the liver, methylcobalamin acts directly to support:

  • Healthy nerve function
  • Red blood cell formation
  • DNA synthesis
  • Mental clarity and mood regulation

This makes methylcobalamin tablets an effective and fast-acting supplement for those with existing deficiencies.

The Role of Folic Acid and B12 in Anaemia

Folic acid, or Vitamin B9, works closely with B12 to create healthy red blood cells. A deficiency in either can result in megaloblastic anaemia, which causes weakness, fatigue, and cognitive decline. Combining these nutrients offers a more holistic approach to treating and preventing anaemia in the Indian population.

How Does Aster Myelin Help with Nerve and Vitamin Health

At Aster Nova, we believe that quality pharmaceutical care should be accessible, science-backed, and customer-focused. That’s why we’ve formulated Aster Myelin, a powerful methylcobalamin tablet tailored to meet the nutritional needs of Indians.

What’s inside each Aster Myelin tablet?

  • Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) – 1500 mcg: Supports nerve and brain health
  • Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) – 1.5 mg: Aids in red blood cell production
  • Alpha Lipoic Acid – 100 mg: Acts as an antioxidant and improves nerve function
  • Vitamin D3 – 1000 IU: Strengthens immunity and bones
  • Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) – 3 mg: Supports metabolic function and nerve health

This comprehensive formula not only replenishes deficiencies but also offers long-term support for those at risk of neuropathy, anaemia, or neurological complications.

Who Should Consider Methylcobalamin Supplementation?

If you fall under any of these categories, supplementation with Aster Myelin may be essential:

  • Vegetarians or vegans
  • Adults over the age of 50
  • People on long-term antacids or diabetes medications
  • Those experiencing symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency
