Use
What is Neurobion?
Neurobion is a neurotrophic vitamin supplement that contains high doses of B complex vitamins, including vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), and vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin). These three vitamins are important for the body's metabolism, especially in the peripheral and central nervous system.
The following is the content of B vitamins contained in Neurobion:
- Thiamine mononitrate (Vitamin B1) 100 mg
- Pyridoxine hydrochloride (Vitamin B6) 100 mg
- Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) 200 mcg
There is also Neurobion Forte (pink), which is a vitamin B complex supplement with a much higher content of vitamin B12 than the normal white Neurobion. Following are the levels of vitamin B complex contained in Neurobion Forte (pink):
- Thiamine mononitrate (Vitamin B1) 100 mg
- Pyridoxine hydrochloride (Vitamin B6) 100 mg
- Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) 5000 mcg
Not only in tablet form, Neurobion Forte 5000 is also available in the form of an injection consisting of 2 ampoules. The content is not much different from the white tablet Neurobion, namely:
- Ampoule 1 contains 100 mg of vitamin B1 and 100 mg of vitamin B6
- Ampoule 2 contains 5000 mcg of vitamin B12
The use of the Neurobion Dual Ampoule must be carried out under the supervision of a doctor and medical team.
Vitamin B complex is a combination of various water-soluble vitamins that can be found in a variety of foods. Water-soluble vitamins mean that the body can absorb the content of these vitamins, the rest will be wasted through urine.
Both types of Neurobion contain ingredients that can meet the daily needs of vitamin B complex. Based on the recommendations of the National Institutes of Health, the following are the daily needs for vitamin B complex:
Vitamin B1 (thiamine)

- Ages 19-50 years: 1.2 mg (men); 1.1 mg (women); and 1.4 mg (pregnant women)
- Age 51 and over: 1.2 mg (men) and 1.1 mg (women)
Vitamin B6
- Age 14-18 years: 1.3 mg (men); 1.2 mg (women); and 1.9 mg (pregnant women)
- Ages 19-50 years: 1.3 mg (men); 1.3 mg (women); and 1.9 mg (pregnant women)
- Age 51 and over: 1.7 mg (men) and 1.5 mg (women)
Vitamin B12
- Age 14 years and over: 2.4 mcg (men and women) and 2.6 mcg (pregnant women)
