Ferrous asscorbate 30 mg + folic acid 500mg + cynacoblamine 100 mg + l-lycin 50 mg

Product Description

This combination of Ferrous Ascorbate 30 mg + Folic Acid 500 mcg + Cyanocobalamin 100 mcg + L-Lysine 50 mg is a nutritional supplement primarily used to treat and prevent various types of anemia and nutritional deficiencies. It's particularly useful for conditions where there's an increased demand for these nutrients or when dietary intake is insufficient.

Let's break down each component and its role:

• Ferrous Ascorbate (30 mg): This is a form of iron, which is an essential mineral.

  • Role: Iron is a crucial component of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. Ferrous ascorbate is an easily absorbable form of iron, and the ascorbate (Vitamin C) component further enhances its absorption from the gut.
  • Use: Primarily used to treat iron deficiency anemia, a common type of anemia where the body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells due to insufficient iron.

• Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) (500 mcg):

  • Role: Folic acid is vital for cell growth and division, particularly for the production of red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and proper nervous system development.
  • Use: It helps prevent and treat folate deficiency anemia. It's especially crucial during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects (serious birth defects of the brain and spine) in the developing baby.
  • Note on Dosage: While 500 mcg (0.5 mg) is a common dose in combination supplements, the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for adults is 400 mcg. For pregnant women, it's 600 mcg. Higher doses (up to 1 mg or even 4 mg for high-risk pregnancies) might be prescribed for specific conditions, but it's important to note that high doses of folic acid can sometimes mask a Vitamin B12 deficiency, potentially leading to neurological damage if the B12 deficiency is left untreated. This is why it's often combined with B12.

• Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) (100 mcg):

  • Role: Vitamin B12 is essential for nerve function, red blood cell formation, and DNA synthesis.
  • Use: It helps prevent and treat Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia (megaloblastic anemia) and nerve problems associated with B12 deficiency. Since folic acid can mask B12
