How effective are Meticobal (Vitamin B12) 500 mcg tablets from Japan?

In addition, methylcobalamin is prescribed by specialists to improve the symptoms of peripheral and diabetic neuropathies, as it improves the sensitivity of peripheral nerves and treats weakness in the lower extremities (Amrita Sil, Hrishikesh Kumar et al. A randomized, open labeled study comparing the serum levels of cobalamin after three doses of 500 mcg vs. a single dose methylcobalamin of 1500 mcg in patients with peripheral neuropathy. Korean Journal of Pain, 2018 Jul; 31 (3): 183–190). A number of studies even demonstrate the possible effect of methylcobalamin for the treatment of children with autism and patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Who should use Meticobal (Vitamin B12) 500 mcg tablets from Japan?
