Description
Hemfer Xt tablet contains a combination of vitamin B9 (Folic acid) and iron, two crucial components the body requires for optimal health. This tablet can be taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding as it helps to prevent nutritional deficiency in these conditions. Folic acid in the tablet helps the body to produce and maintain new cells and is important for the formation of the genetic material. Iron on other hand is an important component for haemoglobin (Hb) formation, which in turn carries oxygen to the entire body.
