About DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID+EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID+L METHYL FOLATE+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXAL 5 PHOSPHATE
DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID+EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID+L METHYL FOLATE+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXAL 5 PHOSPHATE 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.
DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID+EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID+L METHYL FOLATE+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXAL 5 PHOSPHATE contains Docosahexaenoic acid, Eicosapentaenoic acid, L Methylfolate, Methylcobalamin, and Pyridoxal-5-phosphate. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are the omega fatty acids that control cholesterol levels and improve cardiovascular health. They act as an energy source and help in the better functioning of vital organs like the brain, heart, and lungs in the body. L Methylfolate helps form red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Methylcobalamin/Mecobalamin/Vitamin B12 regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate/Pyridoxine/Vitamin B6 is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters.

Medicinal Benefits
DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID+EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID+L METHYL FOLATE+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXAL 5 PHOSPHATE contains Docosahexaenoic acid, Eicosapentaenoic acid, L Methylfolate, Methylcobalamin, and Pyridoxal-5-phosphate. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are the omega fatty acids that control cholesterol levels and thus improve cardiovascular health. They also reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering triglycerides and raising good cholesterol levels. L Methylfolate helps produce new blood cells and prevents low folate levels. Methylcobalamin regulates body functions like cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters.
