Arcalion 200mg Tab (Sulbutiamine)'s exact mechanism isn't fully understood, but it's believed to enhance the effects of thiamine in the brain. It's thought to improve energy metabolism in neurons, increase the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and acetylcholine, and improve neuronal membrane stability. This leads to improved cognitive function, mood elevation, and reduced fatigue.
