Folic Acid+docosahexaenoic Acid+cyanocobalamin

About Folic Acid+docosahexaenoic Acid+cyanocobalamin

Cyanocobalamin+docosahexaenoic Acid+folic Acid belongs to the class of 'Vitamins,' primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is used to treat and prevent vitamin B6 deficiency, folate deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency. Cyanocobalamin+docosahexaenoic Acid+folic Acid effectively treats various conditions caused due to lack of vitamins, such as anaemia (lack of red blood cells), peripheral neuropathy (nerve disorder), seizures (fits), hyperoxaluria (excess oxalate levels in urine), homocystinuria (accumulation of an amino acid called homocysteine in urine and blood), cyanide poisoning and hyperhomocysteinemia (high levels of homocysteine in the blood).

Cyanocobalamin+docosahexaenoic Acid+folic Acid contains Folic Acid, Cyanocobalamin, and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). Folic acid is a type of vitamin B. It is necessary to form red blood cells, which transport oxygen throughout the body. It is also essential during pregnancy because it develops the unborn baby's brain and spinal cord. Cyanocobalamin is a type of vitamin B12 that provides vital nutrients. DHA is a nutritional supplement. DHA is important for brain development. DHA lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels, inhibits platelet aggregation and LDL oxidation, and inhibits the synthesis of inflammatory markers like prostaglandins. Overall, DHA is important in reducing the risk of heart and circulatory disease.

Take Cyanocobalamin+docosahexaenoic Acid+folic Acid as prescribed by your doctor. You should take Cyanocobalamin+docosahexaenoic Acid+folic Acid as long as your doctor has prescribed it after checking your medical condition.

    Patients Concern

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Nutritional deficiencies: A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough food nutrients. Many nutrients are essential for a healthy life. Sometimes your body cannot absorb many nutrients even if you consume them. Nutrient deficiency can lead to many health problems like a weakened immune system, skin, heart, kidney, respiratory, or neurological diseases. During pregnancy, a woman's body requires more vitamins, folic acid and DHA for the baby's development, so taking nutrients helps develop the baby.

    FAQs

    Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid. It is a natural part of cells and is an important component of the skin, eyes and brain. It plays an important role in developing the brain during pregnancy and infancy. It is also used in treating high cholesterol levels in the body. It does so by reducing the thickness of the blood and lowering the body's levels of triglycerides.

    Usually, every person should take foods that boost the production of folate in their body or the person can take it directly in the form of supplements. However, women, who can become pregnant should focus more on their intake. If a woman who can be pregnant has enough folic acid in her body before her pregnancy then it can help to avoid the risk of major birth defects of her baby's brain and spine.

    The best way to avoid the risk of folic acid deficiency during pregnancy is to start taking it at least three months before getting pregnant. It will reduce the risk of developing folate deficiency during pregnancy.

    DHA is good for health and a person should consume it from either food and supplements or in both as the body cannot produce the required DHA (2 grams) by the body. It also helps to prevent or treat health diseases and high cholesterol levels in the body.

    Consumption of DHA is important for the body as it requires about 2 grams per day; however, taking more than 3 grams per day may cause undesirable side effects in the body.

    Cyanocobalamin+docosahexaenoic Acid+folic Acid can be safely used in patients with diabetes unless you have other problems such as kidney diseases or bone-related problems.
