CALCIUM CARBONATE+CALCITRIOL+FOLIC ACID+VITAMIN B6+METHYLCOBALAMIN
About
CALCITRIOL+CALCIUM CARBONATE+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+VITAMIN B6 belongs to the class of 'multivitamins', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food. It could lead to various health problems, including defective bone growth, skin disorders, digestive issues, and dementia (memory loss).
CALCITRIOL+CALCIUM CARBONATE+FOLIC ACID+METHYLCOBALAMIN+VITAMIN B6 contains Calcium carbonate, Calcitriol, Folic acid, Vitamin B6, and Methylcobalamin. Calcium carbonate makes the bones stronger by increasing their density. Calcitriol raises the Vitamin D levels and thereby increases calcium levels in the blood. Folic acid helps in producing new blood cells and prevents low folate levels. Vitamin B6 is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin regulates body functions like cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.
