Description
capsule is a supplement used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It contains a combination of essential vitamins and minerals, including ascorbic acid (vitamin C), carbonyl iron, cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12), folic acid, and zinc, all of which play important roles in maintaining your body's health. These nutrients help support blood health, the immune system, and energy production while also promoting proper growth and development.
Vitamin C helps the body heal, supports the immune system, and strengthens blood vessels, skin, and bones. Iron is necessary for making haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. A lack of iron can lead to anaemia, which can cause fatigue and weakness.
Vitamin B12 and folic acid work together to make healthy red blood cells and DNA. They also help turn the food you eat into energy. When your body doesn't get enough of these vitamins, it can result in a type of anaemia called megaloblastic anaemia, which can cause fatigue and other symptoms.
Zinc supports various body functions, including growth, healing, and immune response. It also plays a role in producing DNA and works with insulin in the pancreas. Zinc deficiency can affect development and slow down healing and immune response.
You should avoid taking capsule if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, including peanuts or soya beans. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, constipation, or stomach pain. It is best to take this medicine at the same time every day, with or without food, and store it in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children.

Ingredients and Benefits
- Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) plays a crucial role in the body in many important ways. It supports the production of collagen, which keeps skin, blood vessels, bones, and gums healthy. It also helps the body utilise certain chemicals and hormones properly, aids in energy production, supports the immune system, and enhances the absorption and storage of iron. Without sufficient Vitamin C, the body cannot heal properly, blood vessels become weak and prone to breaking, and bones and teeth can become fragile....
- Carbonyl iron, as a constituent of haemoglobin, plays an essential role in oxygen transport. It is also present in the muscle protein myoglobin and in the liver. A deficiency of iron leads to anaemia.
- Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) helps your body make healthy red blood cells and supports normal brain and nerve function. It works in conjunction with other nutrients, such as folate, to help create DNA and convert food into energy. It also helps turn certain chemicals in the body into useful forms. When there's not enough Vitamin B12, the body can't produce red blood cells properly, which can lead to a type of anaemia called megaloblastic anaemia, causing tiredness and weakness....
- Folic acid helps the body produce and repair DNA, which is essential for creating healthy cells, particularly red blood cells. It also plays a role in the formation of certain amino acids and in processing nutrients for energy. When there isn't enough folic acid, the body can't make red blood cells properly, which can lead to megaloblastic anaemia, causing tiredness, weakness, and other health problems....
- Zinc is a vital mineral that helps the body in many ways. It supports the activity of various enzymes, aids in DNA creation, and is crucial for cell growth and repair.
