Mumfer tablet is a nutritional supplement that nourishes the body with essential vitamins and minerals that help in treating various types of anaemias (low blood count). It contains Ferric pyrophosphate (iron), Vitamin C, Folic acid and Vitamin B12. It stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, thereby addressing anaemia. The iron component helps in treating iron-deficiency, which causes anaemia and lethargy, spoon-shaped nails, paleness and fatigue. The Vitamin B 12 and folic acid combination address any vitamin-B12 or folate deficiencies, which tend to cause a type of anaemia called megaloblastic anaemia. It is characterised by a loss of appetite, swollen tongue, muscle weakness and nervous dysfunction. In addition, Mumfer tablet also has antioxidant properties and protects the cells from damage by free radicals.

  Question

  What lifestyle changes can help me deal with anaemia?

  Answer

  Load up on red fruits and vegetables like apples and pomegranate, dry fruits, beans and nuts to promote blood production. Avoid caffeine and alcohol as these can precipitate anaemia. Take care of your mental health. Stress is a huge factor that can contribute to anaemia. Make sure you meditate in the morning daily and rest well to cope with lethargy and weakness which are common in anaemia. Yoga has proven very effective in preventing excess blood loss during periods. The butterfly pose is one of the best poses for treating heavy periods, which can otherwise result in anaemia as well.
