Carbonyl Iron provides iron which is required for the RBC production. Folic acid is required for the synthesis of nucleic acid (DNA & RNA) and is a water-soluble vitamin B9. It is necessary for production of healthy red blood cells. Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) has a much importance in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood. Zinc is used to treat and to prevent zinc deficiency. It is considered as one of the important mineral found in almost every cell in the human body. It promotes the activity of about 100 enzymes. Risk of infection increases when deficiency of zinc

Mechanism of Action

Carbonyl Iron is the source of iron which is used to treat iron deficiency anaemia (a lack of red blood cells caused by having too little iron in the body).
Folic Acid is a type of B vitamin helps your body produce and maintain new cells, and also helps prevent changes to DNA that may lead to cancer. Folic acid is sometimes used in combination with other medications to treat pernicious, aplastic, or normocytic anaemia.
Vitamin B12:
  • Helps keep the nervous system and red blood cells healthy
  • Required for the formation of red blood cells and DNA
  • Important for protein metabolism
Zinc supplementation boost up immunity against viruses or may interfere with the replication of certain viruses, such as the human papillomavirus. Zinc has three primary biological roles: catalytic, structural, and regulatory. Zinc is important part of structural unit in numerous proteins, inclusive of growth factors, cytokines, receptors, enzymes, and transcription factors for different cellular signaling pathways. Zinc is a cofactor for approximately 3000 human proteins including enzymes, nuclear factors, and hormones.
