Overview

Uses & benefits

How it works

Each ingredient contributes to replenishing nutrients and supporting normal body functions.

• Ferrous ascorbate: Supplies iron needed to produce hemoglobin and support oxygen transport. The ascorbate component helps iron absorption.

• Folic acid: Supports DNA synthesis and the production of red blood cells.

• Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12): Helps maintain normal red blood cell formation and neurological function.

• Zinc sulphate monohydrate: Provides zinc, which supports immune function, cell growth, and tissue repair.

Together, these ingredients help correct relevant nutritional deficiencies and support healthy blood cell production.

Side effects

Possible side effects include:

• Nausea or vomiting

• Constipation

• Diarrhoea

• Stomach pain or discomfort

• Heartburn

• Dark or black-coloured stools

• Reduced appetite

Dark stools can occur with iron supplements and are often harmless. However, seek medical advice if stools are tarry or sticky, or if you notice blood, severe abdominal pain, or persistent vomiting. Severe allergic reactions require urgent medical attention.

How to use
