Mechanism of action

Think of acetylcholine like a key that unlocks certain functions in the body. When cholinesterase breaks it down, the key is removed, and those functions are turned off. By stopping cholinesterase from breaking down acetylcholine, Mintacol keeps the key in place, allowing those functions to stay active.
