Actually B12 is involved in myelin repair. So axonal damage would be improved if the other factors are present. It is the axon that has the myelin.
Fishoil for the omega-3s, and B6, are the other things for myelin. Sometimes antioxidants like Vit C are suggested too.

Abstract
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and vitamin B12 deficiency share common inflammatory and neurodegenerative pathophysiological characteristics. Due to similarities in the clinical presentations and MRI findings, the differential diagnosis between vitamin B12 deficiency and MS may be difficult. Additionally, low or decreased levels of vitamin B12 have been demonstrated in MS patients. Moreover, recent studies suggest that vitamin B12, in addition to its known role as a co-factor in myelin formation, has important immunomodulatory and neurotrophic effects. These observations raise the questions of possible causal relationship between the two disorders, and suggest further studies of the need to close monitoring of vitamin B12 levels as well as the potential requirement for supplementation of vitamin B12 alone or in combination with the immunotherapies for MS patients.

I am skeptical about the mixture products. Often their websites lack accurate information. So hence I wonder if all the stuff is in there correctly. For example, they don't say to take on an empty stomach which is very important for the B12 to be even absorbed, as well as the alpha lipoic they include.
The only way to know if there is B12 in there is to have another test. Taking high dose B12 should put you over 1000 in 3 months or less.
There is no way to tell everyone what to do as you repeated here because everyone is different. Only testing will show for sure.
It does take time for things to improve. But many people who come here start to feel something improving in a month or so.
