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.

Diofer-DS Tablet 30's contains Elemental Iron, Folic acid, and Cyanocobalamin. Elemental Iron is an essential body mineral required by the red blood cells to carry oxygen to other body cells and tissues. By combining with a protein in the blood called haemoglobin, iron helps carry adequate oxygen to various body parts. Folic acid helps in forming red blood cells. It prevents and treats anaemia and folate deficiency. Cyanocobalamin helps in the proper functioning of the brain and nerves and the production of red blood cells. Thereby, Diofer-DS Tablet 30's treats nutritional deficiencies and anaemia.

It can lead to various health problems like a weak immune system, skin problems, digestion problems, defective bone growth, and neurological diseases.

Iron deficiency anaemia: It is a condition caused due to low iron levels, in which the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to various body tissues. If the body has too little iron, it cannot make enough haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is the main protein in the red blood cells, responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. Symptoms of anaemia include fatigue, shortness of breath, light-headedness, dizziness, fast heartbeat, brittle nails, and pale skin.
