  • Description

    The mechanism of action of this multivitamin and mineral syrup is multifaceted. Folic acid, or vitamin B9, plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis and cell division, supporting the production of red blood cells and preventing folate deficiency. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an antioxidant that enhances iron absorption and contributes to collagen synthesis, thereby supporting the maintenance of healthy blood vessels and connective tissues. Iron complex, typically containing ferrous or ferric iron salts, replenishes iron stores, aiding in the formation of hemoglobin, which is essential for oxygen transport in the body. Vitamin B complex, including various B vitamins such as thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), and others, collectively support energy metabolism, nerve function, and the production of red blood cells, ensuring overall physiological well-being.
