About Diofer-DS Tablet 30's

Diofer-DS Tablet 30's belongs to a class of 'nutritional supplements,' primarily used to treat iron deficiency anaemia and nutritional deficiencies. Iron deficiency anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells due to low iron levels. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Diofer-DS Tablet 30's contains Elemental Iron, Folic acid, and Cyanocobalamin. Elemental Iron is an essential mineral that aids in producing red blood cells and the transportation of oxygen to body tissues. Folic acid helps in forming red blood cells and prevents and treats folate deficiency (low blood levels of folate). Cyanocobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that helps in the proper functioning of the brain and nerves and the production of red blood cells.
