Therapeutic Class

Vitamin and Mineral Supplement / Hematopoietic and Reproductive Support

Pharmacology

Folic Acid is a water-soluble B vitamin (Vitamin B9) essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and proper cell division. Deficiency can lead to megaloblastic anemia, fatigue, and impaired immune response. In pregnancy, folic acid is crucial for preventing neural tube defects in the developing fetus.

Zinc is a trace mineral required for numerous enzymatic reactions in the body. Zinc plays a vital role in immune system function, wound healing, protein synthesis, and reproductive health. It contributes to normal growth, sexual maturation, and fertility. By combining folic acid and zinc, Folneed Tablet provides synergistic support for hematologic, reproductive, and immune health.
