FERROUS ASPARTO GLYCINATE+VITAMIN B12+L METHYLFOLATE+VITAMIN C

About

FERROUS ASPARTO GLYCINATE+VITAMIN B12+L METHYLFOLATE+VITAMIN C belongs to a class of 'nutritional supplements,' primarily used to treat iron deficiency anemia and nutritional deficiencies. Iron deficiency anemia 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.

FERROUS ASPARTO GLYCINATE+VITAMIN B12+L METHYLFOLATE+VITAMIN C contains Ferrous asparto glycinate, Vitamin C, Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin), and L-Methylfolate. Ferrous asparto glycinate is a complex of aspartic acid and glycine with iron. It restores the iron levels in the body, which further aids in producing red blood cells and transporting oxygen to body tissues. Vitamin C strengthens the immune system and protects the body against various infections. Vitamin B12 regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. It is essential for the proper functioning and development of the blood cells, nerves, and brain. L-Methylfolate helps form red blood cells and prevents and treats folate deficiency (low blood levels of folate).

    Patients Concern

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Nutritional deficiencies: A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. Vitamins and minerals are necessary for body development and the prevention of diseases. Nutrient deficiency can lead to many health problems like a weakened 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.
