Folic acid is required for the synthesis of nucleic acid (DNA & RNA) and is a water-soluble vitamin B9. It is necessary for production of healthy red blood cells. Vitamin B12 has a much importance in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood.

About Composition:

Ferrous bis-glycinate: Ferrous bis-glycinate is a chelate that is used as a source of dietary iron. Iron is essential element carrying oxygen, forming part of the oxygen-carrying proteins - hemoglobin in red blood cells and myoglobin in muscles. It is also a component of various enzymes and is concentrated in bone marrow, liver, and spleen. The production of hemoglobin and myoglobin (the form of hemoglobin found in muscle tissue) requires this nutrient. It is also needed for the oxygenation of red blood cells, a healthy immune system and for energy production.

Manganese: It is essential for enzyme formation and functioning. Manganese is a trace mineral required in small amounts. It’s required for the normal functioning of neurons and many of our body’s enzyme production. Manganese is also required for bone growth, development and maintenance. When combined with other nutrients like calcium, zinc and copper, manganese supports bone mineral density essential feature for geriatric patients. Manganese is a part of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), which is one of the most important antioxidants in the body as they protect by scavenging free radicals formed. This property of manganese helps in reducing inflammation.

Vitamin B2:
⇒ Helps convert food into energy.
⇒ Required for red blood cell production and growth.
⇒ Maintains the function of eyes, nervous system, and skin.

Copper: It is the third most abundant essential trace mineral, and is required as cofactor for many proteins, iron utilization enhancer. Copper, along with amino and fatty acids as well as vitamins, are required for normal metabolic processes. It is well orally absorbed.

Folic Acid is a type of B vitamin helps your body produce and maintain new cells, and also helps prevent changes to DNA that may lead to cancer. Folic acid is sometimes used in combination with other medications to treat pernicious, aplastic, or normocytic anemia.

Vitamin B12:
⇒ Helps keep the nervous system and red blood cells healthy
⇒ Required for the formation of red blood cells and DNA
⇒ Important for protein metabolism
