Folera-MD Capsule 15's

Folera-MD Capsule belongs to the class of 'Vitamins,' primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is used to treat and prevent vitamin B6 deficiency, folate deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency. Folera-MD Capsule effectively treats various conditions caused due to lack of vitamins, such as anaemia (lack of red blood cells), peripheral neuropathy (nerve disorder), seizures (fits), hyperoxaluria (excess oxalate levels in urine), homocystinuria (accumulation of an amino acid called homocysteine in urine and blood), cyanide poisoning and hyperhomocysteinemia (high levels of homocysteine in the blood). This medicine is also suggested for boosting the memory and thinking ability of infants and helping develop the brain and eyes in a child during pregnancy.

Folera-MD Capsule contains three medicines, namely Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), Folic acid and Methylcobalamin. DHA plays an essential role in the development of the brain and is vital during pregnancy and infancy. DHA omega-3 fatty acids (oils) reduce excess cholesterol levels in the body, thereby keeping the heart, brain and nerves healthy. DHA is usually located in cell membranes where it helps make more cells membrane that make it easier for nerve cells found in the brain to receive and send electric signals. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate. Folate is a water-soluble vitamin naturally found in food sources. It helps form red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. It prevents and treats low blood levels of folate (folate deficiency) and high blood levels of amino acid, homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinemia). Methylcobalamin, a form of vitamin B12, protects the nerves from damage and promotes blood cell production.

Take Folera-MD Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. You should take Folera-MD Capsule as long as your doctor has prescribed it after checking your medical condition. Folera-MD Capsule may cause side effects such as nausea (feeling sick), vomiting (being sick), diarrhoea, anorexia (loss of appetite), headache, weight loss, fatigue, bloating and flatulence.

Folera-MD Capsule contains three medicines, namely Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), Folic acid and Methylcobalamin. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is naturally found in cells. It is an essential component of the skin, eyes and brain. It plays a vital role in developing the brain during pregnancy and infancy. It is also used in treating high cholesterol levels in the body. It does so by reducing the thickness of the blood and lowering the body's levels of triglycerides. Folic acid is a man-made form of folate, a naturally occurring B vitamin. It helps in making DNA and other genetic material of the body. It also helps to make healthy new red blood cells that avoid the risk of anaemia (folate deficiency). It is crucial to consume folic acid during pregnancy to fulfil the requirement of blood required for the baby's development. Methylcobalamin is a coenzyme form of vitamin B12 and treats Vitamin B12 deficiency, cyanide poisoning, and hyperhomocysteinemia. It regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation and protein synthesis. It is used in the treatment of alcoholic neuropathy, pernicious anaemia (red blood cells are not produced due to Vitamin B12 deficiency), diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to high blood sugar levels) and multiple sclerosis (immune system disease affecting the brain). Folera-MD Capsule is a good supplement for the person who doesn't eat fish as recommended by the health authorities.

Nutritional deficiencies: A nutritional deficiency occurs when your body does not absorb or get enough food nutrients. Many nutrients are essential for a healthy life. Sometimes your body cannot absorb many nutrients even if you consume them. Nutrient deficiency can lead to many health problems like a weakened immune system, skin problems, heart problems, kidney diseases, respiratory illnesses, or neurological diseases. During pregnancy, a woman's body requires more vitamins, folic acid and DHA for the baby's development, so taking nutrients helps develop the baby.
