HBFER F SYP 120ML

Folic acid, a B-vitamin, is essential for DNA synthesis and cell division. It primarily acts by supporting the production of red blood cells and maintaining their health. Cyanocobalamin, another B-vitamin, plays a crucial role in DNA and RNA synthesis, promoting normal blood cell formation and nerve function. It is involved in the methylation of homocysteine to methionine, influencing cellular processes. Haematinic syrup/suspension typically contains a combination of iron, folic acid, and other vitamins, aiding in the treatment of anemia by replenishing iron stores, enhancing red blood cell production, and supporting overall hematopoiesis. These components work synergistically to address nutritional deficiencies and promote optimal blood health.
