Fag M 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 Pyridoxal Phosphate (Vitamin B6), Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D), Ferrous Aspartoglycinate (Iron), Methyl Folate (Folic Acid), Calcium and Methylcobalamin (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. Fag M tablet also has antioxidant properties and protects the cells from damage by free radicals. It is also very useful in post-menopausal women and as a supplement during menopause as it contains calcium and vitamin D, which help in addressing the issue of brittle bones and osteoporosis, common at that stage of a woman’s life. Further, folic acid and Vitamin B12 are very important for nerve health and also for improving mood.
