Pro-HB Syrup contains Ferrous ascorbate, which is a combination of iron and vitamin C. Iron works by reloading iron stores by increasing red blood cells (RBC) and haemoglobin (a protein) production in the body. As a result, an adequate number of RBCs are produced in the body so that each tissue gets a sufficient supply of oxygen. Thus, it replenishes iron stores in the body. Vitamin C enhances iron absorption in the body. Thereby, Pro-HB Syrup helps to treat iron deficiency.
