Child not able to speak at the age of 5 yrs raises a serious issue with him. He might have a neurodegenerative disease or problem with his cognitive function or mental status. Enchephobol(Pyridine which is similar to pyridoxine) is a neuroprotective Chat Doctor.  This helps to improve the cognitive function of brain along with memory boost with improvement in verbal and logical reasoning and mental quotient.it's a good supplement to improve mental status. I suggest get an MRI brain to rule out any serious neurodevelopmental disorder.
