In summary, despite many studies indicating the oral administration of vitamin B12 to be easy, effective and less costly than intramuscular administration, their designs, and in some cases their methodological limitations, mean that debate still surrounds the effectiveness of the oral route
This process involves includes many mechanisms at nanoscale (gene expression), mesoscale (changes in enzymes, ion channels, cytoskeletal proteins, receptors and secreted molecules) to macroscale (neuropathy) levels with the final common consequence of the lost retinal output to the brain (Figure 1)
Findings from preclinical studies, for example, antinociceptive activity to some extent corroborated with data from self-report studies of which among the reasons for kratom use is to manage pain, further supported by the recent randomized controlled study in humans ( FIGURE 1 Here, we highlight physiological interactions of kratom alkaloids focusing on interactions with enzymes, receptors, and cellular barriers
