Carbonyl Iron + Folic acid + Vitamin B complex + Vitamin C + Zinc –
✔ Treatment & Prevention – Used for deficiencies of iron, folic acid, zinc, vitamin B-complex, and vitamin C, especially during pregnancy and lactation.
✔ Iron
- Essential for red blood cell (RBC) production and hemoglobin formation.
- Helps transport oxygen via hemoglobin.
- Supports electron transport in mitochondria through cytochromes.
✔ Folic Acid
- Necessary for DNA & RNA synthesis and cell division.
- Prevents neural tube defects in pregnant women.
- Converted in the liver to its active form tetrahydrofolic acid.
✔ Zinc
- Functions as a cofactor in 100+ enzymes.
- Plays a role in DNA synthesis & immune function.
- Helps maintain taste & smell and supports insulin function.
✔ Vitamin B Complex
- B5 (Pantothenic acid) – Essential for coenzyme A synthesis (important in energy metabolism).
- B6 (Pyridoxine) – Involved in neurotransmitter production & protein metabolism.
- B12 (Cyanocobalamin) – Required for red blood cell formation, cell growth, and nerve function.
- B12 Absorption – Needs intrinsic factor (a gastric glycoprotein) for absorption from the gut.
✔ Vitamin C
- Supports collagen formation for tissue repair.
- Functions in oxidation-reduction reactions (antioxidant activity).
- Helps synthesize catecholamines (dopamine, epinephrine), carnitine, and steroids.
- Aids in the conversion of folic acid to folinic acid for DNA synthesis.
