About CHOLECALCIFEROL+CYANOCOBALAMIN+FERROUS ASCORBATE+FOLIC ACID
CHOLECALCIFEROL+CYANOCOBALAMIN+FERROUS ASCORBATE+FOLIC ACID belongs to the class of 'nutritional supplements', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body cannot absorb or get enough nutrients from food. It could lead to various health problems, including defective bone growth, skin disorders, digestive issues, and dementia (memory loss).
CHOLECALCIFEROL+CYANOCOBALAMIN+FERROUS ASCORBATE+FOLIC ACID is a combination of Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12), Ferrous ascorbate (Iron), and Folic acid. Cholecalciferol is a form of Vitamin D and helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. Cyanocobalamin regulates body functions like cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Ferrous ascorbate restores the iron levels in the body, which further aids in producing red blood cells and transporting oxygen to body tissues. Folic acid is a form of Vitamin B that helps form red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer.
