L Carnitine L Tartrate+methylcobalamin+folic Acid
About
L Carnitine L Tartrate+methylcobalamin+folic Acid belongs to the class of 'nutritional supplements' primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies due to various complications or long-term diseases. A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. Nutrient deficiency can lead to many health problems like a weakened immune system, skin problems, digestion problems, defective bone growth, and neurological diseases.
L Carnitine L Tartrate+methylcobalamin+folic Acid contains Folic acid, L-carnitine L-tartrate, and Methylcobalamin. Folic acid (vitamin B9) replenishes the deficient folic acid in the body. It helps in the production of healthy red blood cells and DNA. L-carnitine L-tartrate is an amino acid derivative that helps the body turn fat into energy. Methylcobalamin (a form of vitamin B12) regulates body functions like cell growth, blood formation, and protein synthesis. It also prevents nerve damage by forming a protective layer (myelin) around the nerves.
Take L Carnitine L Tartrate+methylcobalamin+folic Acid as suggested. The common side-effects of L Carnitine L Tartrate+methylcobalamin+folic Acid are diarrhoea, nausea (feeling sick), and vomiting. These side effects are mild and usually do not require medical attention. However, inform your doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.
Do not take L Carnitine L Tartrate+methylcobalamin+folic Acid if you are allergic to any of its contents. Before taking L Carnitine L Tartrate+methylcobalamin+folic Acid, inform your doctor if you are taking any suggested, non-suggested medicines, herbal products, or dietary supplements. Inform your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food), cancer, kidney dialysis, optic nerve damage, hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood), and stent in the heart. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
