Persistent tingling? The difference is in the type of B vitamin — not the dose
Cobascore combines 3 active forms of B vitamins — Methylcobalamin, Benfotiamine, and Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate — your body uses them directly without conversion. Designed for nerve support, especially if you have B12 deficiency or use metformin
Waking up with numb hands? Pins and needles while sitting? Losing sensation in your fingertips?
In many cases, the cause traces back to B vitamin deficiency — specifically B12 and B1. This becomes more common with age, or with medications like metformin that reduce B12 absorption over time
The problem is that not just any B-complex will solve it. If your body can't efficiently convert vitamins to their active form — and this happens to more people than you'd expect — you could take the full dose and still notice little difference
That's exactly what Cobascore is designed to address — a formula built on active forms that are ready to use, without depending on your body's conversion efficiency
Quick Summary
- Cobascore is a nerve support supplement with 3 active B vitamins — not the standard forms that need liver conversion
- Benfotiamine 100mg (lipid-soluble B1) + P5P 25mg (active B6) + Methylcobalamin 1000mcg (active B12)
- Designed for people with tingling, numbness, or B-vitamin deficiency — especially metformin users and older adults
- One film-coated tablet daily — 20 tablets per pack — 129 EGP on Noon and Jumia
This is not a regular B-complex
Most B-complex supplements on the market use conventional forms — thiamine, pyridoxine, cyanocobalamin — that need to be converted in the liver before the body can use them
The problem is that conversion efficiency varies between individuals — based on age, genetics, medications (like metformin), and liver health
Cobascore bypasses the conversion step entirely — every ingredient is delivered ready for direct use without needing to pass through the liver first
That's what makes it more targeted in its approach — not just "general B vitamins," but a formula built from the ground up with nerve support in mind
Cobascore may suit you if...
Not everyone looking for B vitamins has the same need. If your situation is close to any of these, Cobascore may be worth looking into:
3 active ingredients — each with a clear role
Each ingredient is selected for its active form and its specific role in supporting nerve function
Benfotiamine
A lipid-soluble derivative of vitamin B1 with bioavailability approximately 5× higher than water-soluble thiamine. Its lipid solubility allows it to cross cell membranes more effectively — particularly important for peripheral nerve tissue where thiamine-dependent enzymes are critical for energy metabolism
Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate
The directly active coenzyme form of vitamin B6 — delivered ready for use without needing hepatic conversion. P5P is a cofactor for over 100 enzymatic reactions including neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, dopamine, GABA) and amino acid metabolism
Methylcobalamin
The neurologically active form of vitamin B12 — participates directly in myelin synthesis and methionine metabolism. Unlike the cheaper cyanocobalamin that requires removal of a cyanide group first
What can Cobascore support?
Practical benefits based on each ingredient's role in the formula:
Peripheral nerve health support
Methylcobalamin supports myelin sheath building that protects nerve fibres — linked to efficient signal transmission in the extremities
Neurotransmitter synthesis support
P5P is the required coenzyme for producing serotonin, dopamine, and GABA — neurotransmitters that affect nerve signal quality
Nerve cell energy metabolism support
Benfotiamine activates transketolase in the pentose phosphate pathway — supporting glucose metabolism at the nerve cell level
Bypasses conversion bottlenecks
Active forms reach the body ready for use — no liver conversion needed. Important for those with reduced conversion capacity due to age, genetics, or medications
Cobascore vs traditional B-complex
The difference isn't in the name — it's in the type of forms used and how ready they are for direct use
- Built entirely on active forms — no conversion steps needed
- More targeted in focus than general B-complex
- 3 ingredients on complementary pathways: cell energy (B1) + neurotransmitters (B6) + myelin (B12)
Cobascore may suit you — and it may not be enough alone
May be suitable if:
- You're looking for nutritional nerve support with active forms
- You have B12 or B6 deficiency and want ready-to-use forms
- You use medications that affect B vitamin absorption
- You want a more targeted alternative to regular B-complex
May not be enough alone if:
- —You have a diagnosed neurological condition — a supplement is not a substitute for medical treatment
- —Your issue is related to non-nutritional causes — such as nerve compression or other conditions
- —You need high therapeutic doses — consult your doctor to determine the right approach
- —You haven't done blood tests — knowing your actual levels helps make the right choice

Frequently Asked Questions
Cobascore uses active forms — Benfotiamine, P5P, and Methylcobalamin — that the body can use directly without conversion steps. Standard B-complex uses conventional forms (thiamine, pyridoxine, cyanocobalamin) that require hepatic conversion. For people with reduced conversion capacity — due to age, genetics, or medication use — active forms may be more efficient
No. Cobascore is a registered dietary supplement, not a medicine. It is not designed to treat, diagnose, or cure any medical condition. Consult your doctor if you have health concerns
People experiencing tingling or numbness seeking nutritional nerve support. Those with confirmed or suspected B12/B6 deficiency wanting active forms. Metformin users (associated with reduced B12 absorption over time). Or anyone looking for a more targeted alternative to generic B-complex. Always consult your doctor first
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before combining any supplement with medications — particularly metformin, anticoagulants, or drugs affecting kidney or liver function
Nutritional nerve support typically requires consistent daily use over 4–8 weeks before changes may become noticeable, as nerve tissue maintenance is a gradual biological process. Results vary between individuals. Consistency matters more than any single dose
The key difference is the type of vitamin, not the amount. Cobascore contains Methylcobalamin (active B12) and Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (active B6). Milga Advance contains Cyanocobalamin and Pyridoxine — conventional forms that require liver conversion. If your body doesn't convert efficiently — which is common in older adults and metformin users — active forms may be the smarter choice. Consult your doctor to determine what's best for your situation
Benfotiamine is a lipid-soluble derivative of B1 with bioavailability approximately 5× higher than water-soluble thiamine. Its lipid solubility allows it to cross cell membranes more effectively — particularly important for peripheral nerve tissue
Methylcobalamin is the neurologically active form of B12 — it participates directly in myelin synthesis and methionine metabolism without requiring removal of a cyanide group (as cyanocobalamin does). For nerve-specific support, methylcobalamin is the more biochemically direct choice
